This work evaluates the influence of electrospinning process parameters on the mean diameter and standard deviation of fiber diameters in electrospun poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA). Processing conditions were selected ...
[EN] The intrinsic properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) make them ideal candidates for tissue engineering applications. Efforts have been made to control MSC behavior by using material systems to engineer synthetic ...
[EN] Muscle tissue possess an innate regenerative potential that involves an extremely complicated and synchronized process on which resident muscle stem cells play a major role: activate after an injury, differentiate and ...
[EN] The aim of this study was to evaluate whether mechanical stimulation helps to modulate the redifferentiation of human chondrocytes on adhesive 3D substrates. In a previous work, it was shown that chondrocytes seeded ...
Fibronectin fibrillogenesis is the physiological process by which cells elaborate a fibrous FN matrix. Poly(ethyl acrylate), PEA, has been described to induce a similar process upon simple adsorption of fibronectin (FN) ...

[EN] TaN(Ag) composited coatings are being investigated to improve biocompatibility of different biomedical devices due to the mechanical and chemical stability of TaN and bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles. ...
[EN] The use of composite coatings is emerging as a great alternative to conventional coatings, allowing the combination of different superficial properties that are widely desired in surgical implants, such as osteointegration ...
Cells behave differently between bidimensional (2D) and tridimensional (3D) environments. While most of the in vitro cultures are 2D, most of the in vivo extracellular matrices are 3D, which encourages the development of ...

[EN] Boron is an essential microelement in the metabolism of living organisms. However, its role is not yet well defined. It has been shown recently that boron has a positive effect on the differentiation on murine myoblasts ...
New in situ highly-porous chitosan/hydroxyapatite (CS/HA) biocomposite scaffolds have been prepared via freeze-gelation technique. Different content of in situ synthesized hydroxyapatite within chitosan solution was obtained ...
[EN] Fibronectin (FN) assembles into fibrillar networks by cells through an integrin-dependent mechanism. We have recently shown that simple FN adsorption onto poly(ethyl acrylate) surfaces (PEA), but not control polymer ...
[EN] Extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived matrices such as Matrigel are used to culture numerous cell types in vitro as they recapitulate ECM properties that support cell growth, organisation, migration and differentiation. ...
