Novel advances in the design of three-dimensional bio-scaffolds to control cell fate: translation from 2D to 3D
(Elsevier, 2012-05-07)
Recreating the most critical aspects of the native extracellular matrix (ECM) is fundamental to understand and control the processes regulating cell fate and cell function. From the ill-defined complexity to the controlled ...
Has the adipokine profile an influence on the catch-up growth type in small for gestational age infants?
(Springer, 2019-06-17)
[EN] Infants born small for gestational age (SGA) are at increased risk of perinatal morbidity, persistent short stature, and metabolic alterations in later life. Moreover, the post-natal growth pattern of SGA infants may ...
Optimization of 100 µm alginate-poly-L-lysine-alginate capsules for intravitreous administration
(Elsevier, 2011-09-24)
The field of cell microencapsulation is advancing rapidly. Particle size plays a critical role in terms of biocompatibility and limits decisively its applicability. Producing reduced size microcapsules involves broadening ...
Omega‐3 LCPUFA supplement: a nutritional strategy to prevent maternal and neonatal oxidative stress
(Wiley, 2016-04-13)
There is controversy about fish‐oil supplementation and oxidative damage. This ambiguity should be explored to elucidate its role as modulator of oxidative stress, especially during gestation and postnatal life. This is ...
The synergistic effects of the RGD density and the microenvironment on the behavior of encapsulated cells: In vitro and in vivo direct comparative study
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014-11)
The inclusion of the tripeptide RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) in otherwise inert biomaterials employed for cell encapsulation has been observed to be an effective strategy to provide the immobilized cells with a more suitable ...
Nanoclay-reinforced HA/alginate scaffolds as cell carriers and SDF-1 delivery-platforms for bone tissue engineering
(Elsevier, 2022-07-25)
Bone tissue engineering has come on the scene to overcome the difficulties of the current treatment strategies. By combining biomaterials, active agents and growth factors, cells and nanomaterials, tissue engineering makes ...
Mapping the concept of health care integration: A lexicographic analysis of scientific literature
(Elsevier, 2024-05)
Background
Systems fragmentation is a major challenge for an efficient organization, integration being a potential solution also proposed in health care field, including pharmacy as a player. However, the use of different ...
On the antimicrobial properties and endurance of eugenol and 2-phenylphenol functionalized sol-gel coatings
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
Preventing microbiological surface contamination in public spaces is nowadays of high priority. The proliferation of a microbial infection may arise through air, water, or direct contact with infected surfaces. Chemical ...
Enhancing regenerative medicine with self-healing hydrogels: A solution for tissue repair and advanced cyborganic healthcare devices
(Elsevier, 2024-07)
Considering the global burden related to tissue and organ injuries or failures, self-healing hydrogels may be an attractive therapeutic alternative for the future. Self-healing hydrogels are highly hydrated 3D structures ...
Relationship between the dynamics of volatile aroma compounds and microbial succession during the ripening of raw ewe milk-derived Idiazabal cheese
(Elsevier, 2023)
Cheese microbiota contributes to various biochemical processes that lead to the formation of volatile compounds and the development of flavour during ripening. Nonetheless, the role of these microorganisms in volatile aroma ...
