TLDR
This review will recapitulate the recent studies on the bioceramic–protein interactions and suggest that the adsorption of proteins is critical within the sequence of biological activities.
Abstract
Bioceramics, because of its excellent biocompatible and mechanical properties, has always been considered as the most promising materials for hard tissue repair. It is well know that an appropriate cellular response to bioceramics surfaces is essential for tissue regeneration and integration. As the in vivo implants, the implanted bioceramics are immediately coated with proteins from blood and body fluids, and it is through this coated layer that cells sense and respond to foreign implants. Hence, the adsorption of proteins is critical within the sequence of biological activities. However, the biological mechanisms of the interactions of bioceramics and proteins are still not well understood. In this review, we will recapitulate the recent studies on the bioceramic–protein interactions.

Biocompatible aspects of poly ( 2 - methoxyethylacrylate) (PMEA), relationship between protein adsorption and platelet adhesion on PMEA Surface

M. Tanaka
TL;DR: Low platelet adhesion and spreading are closely related to the low degree of the denaturation of the protein adsorbed onto PMEA, which could be developed as a promising material to produce a useful blood-contacting surface for medical devices.

Pre-adsorption of antibodies enables targeting of nanocarriers despite a biomolecular corona

TL;DR: It is shown that a pre-adsorption process can be used to attach targeting antibodies to the surface of the nanocarrier, potentially a versatile, efficient and rapid method of attaching targeting moieties to thesurface of nanoccarriers.

Ceramics and Ceramic Coatings in Orthopaedics

TL;DR: Advanced bioceramics and coatings are expected to have increasing use in orthopaedics because of their unique combination and range of properties including strength and toughness, hardness and wear resistance, biocompatibility, bacteriostasis, and osseointegration.

Structural determinants for protein adsorption/non-adsorption to silica surface.

TL;DR: Structural analyses and molecular dynamics simulations of proteins from the two groups indicate that non-adsorbed proteins have twice as many π-π interactions and higher structural rigidity, consistent with the notion that adsorption is correlated with the flexibility of the protein and with its ability to spread on the surface.

CHARMM: A program for macromolecular energy, minimization, and dynamics calculations

TL;DR: The CHARMM (Chemistry at Harvard Macromolecular Mechanics) as discussed by the authors is a computer program that uses empirical energy functions to model macromolescular systems, and it can read or model build structures, energy minimize them by first- or second-derivative techniques, perform a normal mode or molecular dynamics simulation, and analyze the structural, equilibrium, and dynamic properties determined in these calculations.
