Poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) has attracted considerable interest as a base material
for biomedical applications due to its: (i) biocompatibility; (ii) tailored biodegradation rate (…

In the last decades, increased knowledge about the organization, structure and properties
of collagen (particularly concerning interactions between cells and collagen-based materials) …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are attracting a growing interest in the scientific community due to their
central role in the etiology of major diseases. On the other hand, nanoparticle carriers offer …

A new method for printing cellularised scaffolds from thermosensitive hydrogels was here
proposed. Pluronic F127 solutions and hydrogels in water-based media (15-40%w/v) were …

Bi-layered scaffolds with a 0/90 lay-down pattern were prepared by melt-extrusion additive
manufacturing (AM) using a poly(ester urethane) (PU) synthesized from poly(ε-caprolactone) …

The irreversible loss of functional cardiomyocytes (CMs) after myocardial infarction (MI)
represents one major barrier to heart regeneration and functional recovery. The combination of …

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) regulates molecular trafficking, protects against pathogens,
and prevents efficient drug delivery to the brain. Models to date failed to reproduce the human …

Blends between chitosan (CS) and gelatin (G) with various compositions (CS/G 0/100 20/80,
40/60, 60/40 100/0 w/w) were produced, as candidate materials for biomedical applications…

In this review, different barrier membranes for guided bone regeneration (GBR) are described
as a useful surgical technique to enhance bone regeneration in damaged alveolar sites …

Bioartificial blends of poly-(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with a polysaccharide (starch, S; dextran,
D; or gellan, G) (PCL/S, PCL/D, PCL/G 90.9/9.1 wt ratio) were prepared by a solution−…
