PROPOSITIONS
Belonging to the thesis
Evaluation of nano-antimicrobial coated biomaterials in
advanced in vitro co-culture models
Xiaoxiang Ren
1. The race between bacteria and tissue cells contributed the fate of a biomaterials implant (this thesis).
2. All kinds of microscopes bring us a colourful new microworld. We should explore this magical world with patients and curiosity (this thesis).
3. Nanotubular surfaces could be a local drug delivery platform (this thesis).
4. Near infrared irradiation on photothermal materials can kill bacteria efficiently, but also damage tissue cells (this thesis).
5. In vitro co-culture models emphasized the importance of exploring the balance between the killing of bacteria and the growth of tissue cells on implants (this thesis).
6. We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us.
7. Skepticism, riddling the faith of yesterday, prepared the way for the faith of tomorrow. (Romain Rolland)
8. If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. （Rabindranath Tagore） 9. What's past is prologue. (William Shakespeare)
10. Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. (Bertrand Russell)
