• Creation of nano‐porous TiO2 surface onto polyetheretherketone (PEEK) for effective immobilization and delivery of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)

  Abstract This study evaluated the utility of the creation of a nanoporous TiO2 surface to enhance the in vitro biocompatibility and in vivo osseoconductivity of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implants by providing favorable sites for the effective immobilization of bone morphogenetic protein‐2 (BMP more

• A dataset on 145 chemicals tested in alternative assays for skin sensitization undergoing prevalidation

  ABSTRACT Skin sensitization is a key endpoint for cosmetic ingredients, with a forthcoming ban for animal testing in Europe. Four alternative tests have so far been submitted to ECVAM prevalidation: (i) MUSST and (ii) h‐Clat assess surface markers on dendritic cell lines, (iii) the direct peptid more
