Marine organisms and materials exhibit interesting properties for their use in biomedical applications, following biomimetic approaches [1,2]. For instance, the white seabass (Lates Calcarifer) scales exhibit a very interesting pattern, which inspire their use as a guiding platform for cellular growth, in a tissue regeneration approach. Moreover, fish scales are composed of hydroxyapatite and type I collagen fi...
Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Engenharia Biomédica (área de especialização em Biomateriais, Reabilitação e Biomecânica) ; Considering the fish scales composition of hydroxyapatite and type I collagen fibrils, the organized and regular pattern of the scales, and also their capability to provide a form of armor plating to protect fish from injury and disease transmission, its potential biomedical applicat...
