Record 1 2006-08-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Morphology and General Physiology
  • Biotechnology
DEF

Of or pertaining to an implanted material that passively promotes bone growth directly along or towards its surface by acting as a scaffold.

CONT

Bone substitution materials involve micrometric and/or nanometric HAP(hydroxyapatite), calcium sulfate and bone growth inductor proteins(osteogenic growth peptide(OGP) or bone morphogenetic proteins(BMP-2)) or inhibitor proteins(osteocalcin(OC)), with the aim of inducing bone generation. HAP is a bone osteoconductor material and when it is combined with a protein like BMP, the new composite behaves as a osteoinductor material.

DEF

[Se dit d'un matériau de substitution qui sert] de support à la néoformation osseuse grâce à leur porosité [et qui n'induit] pas de réactions locales tissulaires, ni d'immunogénicité, ni de toxicité systémique.

CONT

Ces matériaux sont biologiquement muets et ne servent, au mieux, que de support passif à la réparation osseuse. On dit qu'ils sont «ostéoconducteurs».

English

Subject field(s)
  • Physics of Solids

CONT

Nanomaterials present a real commercial potential for the textile industry. Differently from microscopic materials such as microfibers, microfilaments, microcapsules, and micrometric powders, nanomaterials are represented, for example, by nanofibers, nanofilaments, nanocapsules, and nanoparticles.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique des solides
  • Chimie
CONT

Les filtres organiques ou/et sous forme de pigments minéraux intégrés dans les produits [solaires] sont chaque année plus performants, plus stables. [...] Les pigments minéraux sont des poudres micrométriques, plus ou moins opaques aux rayonnements lumineux.
