  • Mineralization and cellular patterning on biomaterial surfaces
    Publication number: 20030203002
    Abstract: Disclosed are advantageous methods for patterning and/or mineralizing biomaterial surfaces. The techniques described are particularly useful for generating three-dimensional or contoured bioimplant materials with patterned surfaces or patterned, mineralized surfaces. Also provided are various methods of using the mineralized and/or patterned biomaterials in tissue engineering, such as bone tissue engineering, providing more control over ongoing biological processes, such as mineralization, growth factor release, cellular attachment and tissue growth.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 31, 2003
    Publication date: October 30, 2003
    Applicant: The Regents of The University of Michigan
    Inventors: William L. Murphy, David J. Mooney, David H. Kohn, Gabriel C. Spalding, Matthew T. Dearing
