The use of decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) as a biomaterial has been an important step forward for the development functional tissue constructs. In addition to tissues and organs, cell cultures are gaining lot attention alternative source dECM. this work, novel biomimetic hydrogel is developed based on dECM obtained from mesenchymal stem cells (mdECM) cartilage engineering. To end, seeded under specific culture conditions generate early chondrogenic (ECM) providing cues elements...
Biofabrication technologies with layer-by-layer simultaneous deposition of a polymeric matrix and cell-laden bioinks (also known as bioprinting) offer an alternative to conventional treatments regenerate cartilage tissue. Thermoplastic polymers, like poly-lactic acid, are easy print using fused modeling, the shape, mesh structure, biodegradation time, stiffness can be easily controlled. Besides some them being clinically approved, high manufacturing temperatures used in bioprinting...
In breast cancer (BC), the presence of stem cells (CSCs) has been related to relapse, metastasis, and radioresistance. Radiotherapy (RT) is an extended BC treatment, but not always effective. CSCs have several mechanisms radioresistance in place, some miRNAs are involved cellular response ionizing radiation (IR). Here, we studied how IR affects expression stemness different molecular subtypes. Exposition doses 2, 4, or 6 Gy affected their phenotype, functional characteristics, pluripotency...
Abstract Conventional in vitro cancer models do not accurately reproduce the tumor microenvironment (TME), so three-dimensional (3D)-bioprinting represents an excellent tool to overcome their limitations. Here, two multicellular tri-layered malignant melanoma (MM) composed by stem cells (CSCs) isolated from a MM established cell line or primary-patient derived line, fibroblasts, mesenchymal cells, and endothelial embedded within agarose-collagen type I hydrogel were bioprinted....
Geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration is a common cause of blindness worldwide. Given the recent approval first therapy for GA, pegcetacoplan, we critically appraise methodological aspects phase 3 clinical trials published so far in this disease relation their design, analysis and interpretation. We reviewed some key attributes all GA available main public registry as 20 May 2023. The topics discussed included types endpoints, eligibility criteria, p-value...
