This work presents a practical methodology to produce multilevel hierarchical structures with precise control of the structural geometry at every level by combining photo and nanoimprint lithography processes. The method involves sequential steps nanoimprinting first deposited polymer layer followed second photoresin and, afterward, performing on this optical means maskless laser writer pattern micrometer-size features. A topography is consequently obtained comprising nanopatterns...
The aim of this study was to test, by an in vitro approach, whether a natural extract derived from eggs the mollusc Cryptomphalus aspersa (e-CAF) that seems present regenerative properties, can enhance mobilization human hair dermal papilla cells (HHDPCs) and play role on tissue repair regeneration. We have tested HHDPCs proliferation 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium-bromide (MTT) assay; cell migration using wound healing assay, as well modulation expression cytoskeletal...
Abstract In recent years, the understanding of bactericidal mechanisms natural surfaces has received great attention to unravel their design principles for development next‐generation mechano‐bactericidal surfaces. Due difficulty in characterizing bacteria–nanostructure interface, many aspects physical interaction between bacteria and surface, underlying mechanisms, remain unclear. This study focuses on evaluating dynamics process case moth‐eye bioinspired topography relation strain...
Bacteria Deformation by Nanotopography In article number 2200608, María Teresa Alameda, Isabel Rodríguez, and co-workers provide a practical strategy to characterize the deformation inflicted on bacteria upon attachment bioinspired bactericidal nanocone surfaces based straightforward approach whereby are flipped over visualize obtain indentation measurements atomic force microscopy stereometric analysis of scanning electron images.
Thyroid hormones (THs) have been shown to affect cardiovascular function, and we previously demonstrated the modulatory action of THs on function rat aorta through different endothelial factors. On other hand, innervation regulates mesenteric arteries, which contribute control peripheral vascular resistance. In view these data, aim this study was investigate whether influence adrenergic nitrergic innervations. For purpose, endothelium‐denuded artery segments from thyroidectomized male Wistar...
Vascular dysfunction is characterized by an unbalance between relaxing and contracting factors, usually in favor of the latest ones, that maintained along time could lead to cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension. On other hand, organ culture has been described induce phenotypic changes endothelial cells similar those observed some pathologies. In both hypertension culture‐induced vascular damage, release action nitric oxide (NO) play a pivotal role control function. Recently,...
