Bioprinting and biomaterials for dental alveolar tissue regeneration
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Three dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a powerful tool, that was recently applied to
tissue engineering. This technique allows the precise deposition of cells encapsulated
in supportive bioinks to fabricate complex ...
Molecularly Imprinted Polymer-Based Sensors for the Detection of Skeletal- and Cardiac-Muscle-Related Analytes
(MDPI, 2023-06-15)
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic polymers with specific binding sites that present high affinity and spatial and chemical complementarities to a targeted analyte. They mimic the molecular recognition ...
Cell Microencapsulation Technologies for Sustained Drug Delivery: Latest Advances in Efficacy and Biosafety
(Elsevier, 2021-07-10)
The development of cell microencapsulation systems began several decades ago. However, today few systems have been tested in clinical trials. For this reason, in the last years, researchers have directed efforts towards ...
Chitosan-based nanoscale systems for doxorubicin delivery: Exploring biomedical application in cancer therapy
(Wiley, 2023-01)
Green chemistry has been a growing multidisciplinary field in recent years showing great promise in biomedical applications, especially for cancer therapy. Chitosan (CS) is an abundant biopolymer derived from chitin and ...
Reinforcement of Calcium Phosphate Cement with Hybrid Silk Fibroin/Kappa-Carrageenan Nanofibers
(MDPI, 2023-03-10)
Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) offer a promising solution for treating bone defects due to their osteoconductive, injectable, biocompatible, and bone replacement properties. However, their brittle nature restricts their ...
Design and Manufacture of Bone Cements Based on Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate and Mg, Sr-Doped Bioactive Glass
(MDPI, 2023-10-18)
In the present study, a novel composite bone cement based on calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH) and Mg, Sr-containing bioactive glass (BG) as solid phase, and solution of chitosan as liquid phase were developed. The phase ...
Rhabdomyosarcoma: Current Therapy, Challenges, and Future Approaches to Treatment Strategies
(MDPI, 2023-11-02)
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare cancer arising in skeletal muscle that typically impacts children and young adults. It is a worldwide challenge in child health as treatment outcomes for metastatic and recurrent disease still ...
Health financing policies during the COVID-19 pandemic and implications for universal health care: a case study of 15 countries
(Elsevier, 2023-12)
Background The COVID-19 pandemic was a health emergency requiring rapid scal resource mobilisation to support national responses. The use of e ective health nancing mechanisms and policies, or lack thereof, a ected the ...
Pharmaceutical residues in stranded dolphins in the Bay of Biscay
(Elsevier, 2023-11-17)
There is a growing concern about the presence of pharmaceuticals on all trophic levels of the 3 aquatic environment. The presence of pharmaceuticals in the marine environment, which is the 4 final receiver of the continental ...
4D Printing: The Development of Responsive Materials Using 3D-Printing Technology
(MDPI, 2023-12-07)
Additive manufacturing, widely known as 3D printing, has revolutionized the production of biomaterials. While conventional 3D-printed structures are perceived as static, 4D printing introduces the ability to fabricate ...
