[EN] Gelatin injectable hydrogels have attracted attention for soft tissues regeneration; however, their poor mechanical properties limit their applications. The authors present a versatile strategy to enhance mechanical ...

[CA] El cartílag articular és un teixit connectiu molt especialitzat present a les articulacions, que actua com amortidor suportant enormes carregues y proporcionant una superfície de lliscament de baixa fricció. Les ...

[EN] Chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is known to be regulated by a number of environmental factors, including local oxygen levels. The hypothesis of this study is that the response of MSCs to hypoxia is ...

[EN] The gold standard for the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries, the autograft, presents several drawbacks, and engineered constructs are currently suitable only for short gaps or small diameter nerves. Here, we study ...

[EN] Articular cartilage is a tissue with low capacity for self-restoration due to its avascularity and low cell population. It is located on the surface of the subchondral bone covering the diarthrodial joints. Degeneration ...

[EN] Cell transplantation therapies in the nervous system are frequently hampered by glial scarring and cell drain from the damaged site, among others. To improve this situation, new biomaterials may be of help. Here, novel ...

[EN] Polysaccharides are widely used as building blocks of scaffolds and hydrogels in tissue engineering, which may require their chemical modification to permit crosslinking. The goal of this study was to generate a library ...
