The combination of hydrogels and magnetic nanoparticles, scarcely explored to date, offers a wide range possibilities for innovative therapies. Herein, we have designed hybrid 3D matrices integrating natural polymers, such as collagen, chitosan (CHI) hyaluronic acid (HA), provide soft flexible networks mimicking the extracellular matrix tissues, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) that deliver localized heat when exposed an alternating field (AMF). First, colloidally stable with hydrodynamic...
Atherosclerosis is a complex disease that can lead to life-threatening events, such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. Despite the severity of this disease, diagnosing plaque vulnerability remains challenging due lack effective diagnostic tools. Conventional protocols specificity fail predict type atherosclerotic lesion risk rupture. To address issue, technologies are emerging, noninvasive medical imaging with customized nanotechnological solutions. Modulating biological...
Research Summary We argue that for firms competing in infrastructure industries, a change the government granted permission to invest host country increases likelihood of divestment foreign subsidiaries. The logic surrounding this behavior lies fact these may develop cooperative relationships with granting and power transition depreciates relational capital accumulated effectiveness commitments achieved. Building on literature governance view corporate political actions, we effect...
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe disease characterized by elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary artery that can ultimately damage right ventricle of heart. PAH pathophysiologically heterogeneous, which makes early diagnosis and treatment difficult. Inflammation thought to be an important factor development progression this may explain some observed interindividual differences. In context both acute chronic inflammation, neutrophil recruitment lung has been suggested as...
We argue that firms competing in regulated industries are less willing to divest their subsidiaries countries with discretionary governments than where constrained by checks and balances. The logic surrounding this puzzling behavior lies the fact these may have accumulated political capabilities allow them overcome negative consequences of governmental discretion. Building on resource-based view, we reluctance abandon investments is stronger for more capabilities, while changes party power...
Policy risk in the host country has been considered as a deterrent both to incoming foreign direct investments and maintenance such there, exposure arbitrary changes regulations reduces value of investment. However, some recent studies have shown that firms regulated sectors do not always avoid policy when expanding abroad, because these capabilities allow them overcome negative consequences exposure. Building on studies, this paper analyzes what extent increases or decreases probability...
Purpose This paper aims to investigate whether Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) can be driven by the creative compliance knowledge that firms gather in their home country through litigations with government. Design/methodology/approach The authors draw on knowledge-based view and organizational learning theory argue there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between experience litigating State a firm’s level of FDI. test this hypothesis using negative binomial regressions sample Spanish...
Firms derive advantages from their domestic political connections, although influence on international expansion has been overlooked in the literature. Drawing resource-based and policy-environment views, we develop a theoretical framework to explain effect of connections firms’ location choice decision. We also delineate two boundary conditions arising firm’s intangible assets host country policy environment. argue that are source knowledge can facilitate entry into foreign countries. show...
Hydrogels and magnetic nanoparticles are by themselves attractive biomaterials for biomedical applications. The combination of both, scarcely explored to date, offers a wider range possibilities innovative therapies, including those in neural regeneration. In this study, we have designed hybrid 3D matrices integrating natural polymers, such as collagen, chitosan (CHI) hyaluronic acid (HA), provide soft flexible networks able mimic the extracellular matrix tissues, iron oxide (IONPs) that...
