[ES] El mieloma múltiple es una neoplasia hematológica caracterizada por una expansión descontrolada de células plasmáticas monoclonales (mPCs) en medula ósea que producen, en la mayoría de los casos, un componente monoclonal ...
González García, Cristina(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-11-05)
Esta tesis aborda la actividad biológica de la fibronectina (FN) como proteína de interfase en la interacción célula-material. La tesis investiga la respuesta de la proteína, en términos de cantidad adsorbida y conformación, ...
[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 ...
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] Alginate is a polysaccharide used extensively in biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility and suitability for hydrogel fabrication using mild reaction chemistries. Though alginate has commonly been crosslinked ...
[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. ...
[EN] We have engineered polymer-based microenvironments that promote vasculogenesis both in vitro and in vivo through synergistic integrin-growth factor receptor signalling. Poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA) triggers spontaneous ...

[ES] El cáncer de colon es la neoplasia maligna más frecuente que se puede presentar en el tubo digestivo y, a pesar de la incesante investigación, una de las patologías con mayor prevalencia en la población mundial. El ...
[EN] Purpose: It is known that surface nanotopography influences cell adhesion and differentiation. Our aim is to analyze the effect of nanoscale topography on fibronectin adsorption and, afterwards, on cell adhesion in ...
Rodrigo Navarro, Aleixandre(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-06-10)
[EN] This thesis deals with the development of a living biointerface between synthetic substrates and living cells to engineer cell-material interactions for tissue engineering purposes. This living biointerface is made ...
Lactococcus lactis is modified to express a fibronectin fragment (FNIII₇₋₁₀) as a membrane protein. This interphase, based on a living system, can be further exploited to provide spatio-temporal ...

[EN] Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) has been used as a biodegradable polymer for many years; the key characteristics of this polymer make it a versatile and useful resource for regenerative medicine. However, it is not inherently ...
Llopis Hernández, Virginia(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2017-11-03)
This thesis ventures with the extracellular matrix protein (ECM) fibronectin (FN) as an interface protein in the interaction between cells and materials to design microenvironment for future use in tissue engineering. It ...

Fibronectin (FN) is a ubiquitous extracellular matrix protein (ECM) protein that is organized into fibrillar networks by cells through an integrin-mediated process that involves contractile forces. This assembly allows for ...
Background: The cell-material interaction is a complex bi-directional and dynamic process that mimics to a certain extent the natural interactions of cells with the extracellular matrix. Cells tend to adhere and rearrange ...
