Purpose To compare the CT imaging performance of a carboxybetaine zwitterionic-coated tantalum oxide (TaCZ) nanoparticle CT contrast agent with that of a conventional iodinated contrast agent in a swine model meant to simulate overweight and obese patients. Materials and Methods Four swine were
BACKGROUND
The best method for acetabular revisions in patients with severe bone loss remains controversial; typical approaches include jumbo cups, cages, cup-cages, and custom components. Tantalum (TM) components have good results at midterm followup, but the longer term survival and complications
BACKGROUND
An optimal system for the expansion of pluripotent HPCs would ideally eliminate the use of cytokines and animal-derived serum. We have shown previously that a 3D, tantalum-coated porous biomaterial (Cytomatrix) supports the maintenance and expansion of human BM HPCs in the absence of
