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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Extracellular vesicles released by hair follicle and adipose mesenchymal stromal cells induce comparable neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects in primary neuronal and microglial cultures
(Elsevier, 2023-10)
Background aims
Despite intensive research, to date, there is no effective treatment for neurodegenerative diseases. Among the different therapeutic approaches, recently, the use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived ...
