Modulation of Conductivity of Alginate Hydrogels Containing Reduced Graphene Oxide through the Addition of Proteins
(MDPI, 2021-09-15)
Modifying hydrogels in order to enhance their conductivity is an exciting field with applications in cardio and neuro-regenerative medicine. Therefore, we have designed hybrid alginate hydrogels containing uncoated and ...
Mesenchymal stromal cells encapsulated in licensing hydrogels exert delocalized systemic protection against ulcerative colitis via subcutaneous xenotransplantation
(Elsevier, 2022-03)
[EN] The ability of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to release a plethora of immunomodulatory factors makes them valuable candidates to overcome inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, this cell therapy approach is ...
Therapeutic Opportunities and Delivery Strategies for Brain Revascularization in Stroke, Neurodegeneration, and Aging
(American Society of Pharmacology Experimental Therapeutics, 2022-04)
[EN] Central nervous system (CNS) diseases, especially acute ischemic events and neurodegenerative disorders, constitute a public health problem with no effective treatments to allow a persistent solution. Failed therapies ...
3D Bioprinting of Functional Skin Substitutes: From Current Achievements to Future Goals
(MDPI, 2021-04-14)
The aim of this review is to present 3D bioprinting of skin substitutes as an efficient approach of managing skin injuries. From a clinical point of view, classic treatments only provide physical protection from the ...
Characterization of encapsulated porcine cardiosphere-derived cells embedded in 3D alginate matrices
(Elsevier, 2021-04-15)
Myocardial infarction is caused by an interruption of coronary blood flow, leading to one of the main death causes worldwide. Current therapeutic approaches are palliative and not able to solve the loss of cardiac tissue. ...
Bioinspired three-dimensional multifunctional systems to enhance the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells
(2019-12-16)
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) present the ability to secrete important immunomodulatory factors, and therefore, hold great potential for the treatment of multiple inflammatory and immune disorders. However, for the ...
Force spectroscopy-based simultaneous topographical and mechanical characterization to study polymer-to-polymer interactions in coated alginate microspheres
(Nature Publishing, 2019-12-27)
Cell-laden hydrogel microspheres have shown encouraging outcomes in the fields of drug delivery, tissue engineering or regenerative medicine. Beyond the classical single coating with polycations, many other different coating ...
Review of Advanced Hydrogel-Based Cell Encapsulation Systems for Insulin Delivery in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
(MDPI, 2019-11-12)
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of beta-cells in the pancreatic islets. In this regard, islet transplantation aims for the replacement of the damaged beta-cells through minimally ...
