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 ...
An Overview on the Field of Micro- and Nanotechnologies for Synthetic Peptide-Based Vaccines
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011)
The development of synthetic peptide-based vaccines has many advantages in comparison with vaccines based on live attenuated organisms, inactivated or killed organism, or toxins. Peptide-based vaccines cannot revert to a ...
Bioactive and degradable hydrogel based on human platelet-rich plasma fibrin matrix combined with oxidized alginate in a diabetic mice wound healing model
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
[EN] In the present study we developed an injectable, bioactive and degradable hydrogel composed of alginate at 2.5% oxidation degree and calcium-activated platelet rich plasma (PRP) for wound healing applications ...
Overcoming the Inflammatory Stage of Non-Healing Wounds: In Vitro Mechanism of Action of Negatively Charged Microspheres (NCMs)
(MDPI, 2020-06-03)
Negatively charged microspheres (NCMs) represent a new therapeutic approach for wound healing since recent clinical trials have shown NCM efficacy in the recovery of hard-to-heal wounds that tend to stay in the inflammatory ...
Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Secretome for the Treatment of Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases: Latest Trends in Isolation, Content Optimization and Delivery Avenues
(MDPI, 2021-10-27)
Considering the high prevalence and the complex pharmacological management of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), the search for new therapeutic approaches for their treatment is vital. Although the immunomodulatory ...
Characterization of Bio-Inspired Electro-Conductive Soy Protein Films
(MDPI, 2021-01-28)
Protein-based conductive materials are gaining attention as alternative components of electronic devices for value-added applications. In this regard, soy protein isolate (SPI) was processed by extrusion in order to obtain ...
Increased antiparkinson efficacy of the combined administration of VEGF- and GDNF-loaded nanospheres in a partial lesion model of Parkinson's disease
(Dove Medical Press, 2014)
Current research efforts are focused on the application of growth factors, such as glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as neuroregenerative approaches that will ...
GSE4-Loaded Nanoparticles a Potential Therapy for Lung Fibrosis that Enhances Pneumocyte Growth, Reduces Apoptosis and DNA Damage
(Wiley, 2021-03)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a lethal lung fibrotic disease, associated with aging with a mean survival of 2-5 years and no curative treatment. The GSE4 peptide is able to rescue cells from senescence, DNA and oxidative ...
Green hemostatic sponge-like scaffold composed of soy protein and chitin for the treatment of epistaxis
(Elsevier, 2022-04-30)
Epistaxis is one of the most common otorhinolaryngology emergencies worldwide. Although there are currently several treatments available, they present several disadvantages. This, in addition to the increasing social need ...
