Evaluation of the early in vivo response of a functionally graded macroporous scaffold in an osteochondral defect in a rabbit model
(Springer Verlag, 2015-10-05)
Cartilage tissue engineering is a multifactorial problem requiring a wide range of material property requirements from provision of biological cues to facilitation of mechanical support in load-bearing diarthrodial joints. ...
Differentiation of vascular stem cells contributes to ectopic calcification of atherosclerotic plaque
(Wiley, 2016-02-27)
The cellular and molecular basis of vascular calcification (VC) in atherosclerosis is not fully understood. Here, we investigate role of resident/circulating progenitor cells in VC and contribution of inflammatory plaque ...
Evaluation of cartilage repair by mesenchymal stem cells seeded on a PEOT/PBT scaffold in an osteochondral defect
(Springer Verlag, 2015-01-15)
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-seeded polyethylene-oxide-terephthalate/polybutylene-terephthalate (PEOT/PBT) scaffold for cartilage tissue repair in an ...
Diversity and bioactivity of fungi associated with the marine sea cucumber Holothuria poli: disclosing the strains potential for biomedical applications
(Society for Applied Microbiology (SfAM), 2020-04-10)
Aims: Identification of the mycobiota associated to the marine echinoderm Holothuria poli and investigation of cytotoxic and pro-osteogenic potential of isolated strains.
Methods and results: Fungal strains were isolated ...
