Gutowski S, Shoemaker J, Templeman K, Wei Y, Latour Jr R, Bellamkonda R, et al.
Biomaterials
. 2015 Jan;
44:55-70.
PMID: 25617126
Neural electrodes are an important part of brain-machine interface devices that can restore functionality to patients with sensory and movement disorders. Chronically implanted neural electrodes induce an unfavorable tissue response...

Hylton D, Shalaby S, Latour Jr R
J Biomed Mater Res A
. 2005 Apr;
73(3):349-58.
PMID: 15834930
It is widely recognized that adsorbed proteins on biomaterial surfaces tend to initiate thrombus formation, although the specific mechanisms involved are still not well understood. In attempts to decrease the...

Wilson K, Stuart S, Garcia A, Latour Jr R
J Biomed Mater Res A
. 2004 May;
69(4):686-98.
PMID: 15162411
Although it is well documented that proteins adsorb onto biomaterial surfaces, relatively little is quantitatively understood about the effects of adsorption on protein orientation and conformation. Because this is the...

Li C, Granger C, Del Schutte Jr H, Biggers Jr S, Kennedy J, Latour Jr R
J Rehabil Res Dev
. 2004 Apr;
40(2):131-45.
PMID: 15077639
In this research, a numerical method was developed for predicting the progressive failure of thick laminated composite femoral components. A three-dimensional (3-D) global/ 3-D local technique was developed to capture...

Basalyga D, Latour Jr R
J Biomed Mater Res A
. 2002 Dec;
64(1):120-30.
PMID: 12483704
Cellular response to an implant is largely controlled by protein adsorption because cells directly interact with the adsorbed protein rather than the implant surface. Protein adsorption will occur when the...

Latour Jr R, Hench L
Biomaterials
. 2002 Sep;
23(23):4633-48.
PMID: 12322985
Although the denaturing of adsorbed proteins on biomaterials surfaces is believed to lead to adverse tissue reactions to implanted materials, very little is currently known of the actual mechanisms involved....

Biomaterials
. 2002 Aug;
23(21):4249-62.
PMID: 12194528
In this research program, a numerical method was developed to predict the progressive failure of a thick laminated composite femoral component for total hip arthroplasty. A 3-D global/local technique was...

Latour Jr R, Rini C
J Biomed Mater Res
. 2002 Apr;
60(4):564-77.
PMID: 11948515
At a fundamental level, protein adsorption to a synthetic surface must be strongly influenced by the interaction between the peptide residues presented by the protein's surface (primary protein structure) and...
