High-Resolution 3D Printing Fabrication of a Microfluidic Platform for Blood Plasma Separation
(MDPI, 2022)
Additive manufacturing technology is an emerging method for rapid prototyping, which enables the creation of complex geometries by one-step fabrication processes through a layer-by-layer approach. The simplified fabrication ...
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus reversal via implantation of magnetically purified microencapsulated pseudoislets
(Elsevier, 2019-02-10)
Microencapsulation of pancreatic islets for the treatment of Type I Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) generates a high quantity of empty microcapsules, resulting in high therapeutic graft volumes that can enhance the host’s immune ...
Extracellular matrix protein microarray-based biosensor with single cell resolution: Integrin profiling and characterization of cell-biomaterial interactions
(Elsevier, 2019-08-06)
In the search of biomaterials that promote cell adhesion, it is crucial to explore the integrin-substrate dynamic interactions given in a certain cell type to design successful biofunctionalization strategies. Here, we use ...
Integrated biological response to environmentally-relevant concentration of amitriptyline in Sparus aurata
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]Amitriptyline (AMI) is a commonly tricyclic antidepressant to treat depression, anxiety, and other conditions. Like many other pharmaceuticals, AMI and its by-products are incompletely removed during wastewater treatment ...
Multilevel responses of adult zebrafish to crude and chemically dispersed oil exposure
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
Background The application of chemical dispersants is a common remediation strategy when accidental oil spills occur in aquatic environments. Breaking down the oil slick into small droplets, dispersants facilitate the ...
Development of an alginate/TiO2-based microfluidic biosystem for chrono-sampling and sensing of glucose in artificial sweat
(Elsevier, 2023-05)
Glucose is an analyte of great importance, both in the clinical and sports fields. As an alternative to standard blood analysis, sweat arises as an easily accessible, non-invasive biofluid, as well as a great candidate to ...
Influence of season-depending ecological variables on biomarker baseline levels in mussels (Mytilus trossulus) from two Baltic Sea subregions
(Science Direct, 2019-06-26)
For reliable mussel monitoring programmes based on biomarkers, regionally relevant reference values and their natural variability need to be known. The Baltic Sea exhibits high inter-regional and seasonal variability in ...
The influence of temperature in sea urchin embryo toxicity of crude and bunker oils alone and mixed with dispersant
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
This investigation deals with how temperature influences oil toxicity, alone or combined with dispersant (D). Larval lengthening, abnormalities, developmental disruption, and genotoxicity were determined in sea urchin ...
An electroactive and thermo-responsive material for the capture and release of cells
(Elsevier, 2021-06-05)
Non-invasive collection of target cells is crucial for research in biology and medicine. In this work, we combine a thermo-responsive material, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), with an electroactive material, poly(3,4-ethyle ...
Fate and effects of graphene oxide alone and with sorbed benzo(a)pyrene in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis
(Elsevier, 2023-06)
Graphene oxide (GO) has gained a great scientific and economic interest due to its unique properties. As incorporation of GO in consumer products is rising, it is expected that GO will end up in oceans. Due to its high ...
