Regenerative medicine strategies to promote recovery following traumatic brain injuries are
currently focused on the use of biomaterials as delivery systems for cells or bioactive …

Regenerative medicine and disease models have evolved in recent years from two to three
dimensions, providing in vitro constructs that are more similar to in vivo tissues. By …

Mounting evidence supports the importance of the intestinal epithelial barrier and its
permeability both in physiological and pathological conditions. Conventional in vitro models …

The creation of cardiac tissue models for preclinical testing is still a non-solved problem in
drug discovery, due to the limitations related to the in vitro replication of cardiac tissue …

Highly permeable polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are desirable for reducing
the energy burden and ensuring future water resources in arid and semiarid regions. One …

Background The lack of predictive models that mimic the blood–brain barrier (BBB) hinders
the development of effective drugs for neurodegenerative diseases. Animal models behave …

Objective: Wound healing is a complex process that involves the interaction between
different cell types and bioactive factors. Impaired wound healing is characterized by a loss …

To develop tissue engineering strategies useful for repairing damage in the central nervous
system (CNS) it is essential to design scaffolds that emulate the NSC niche and its tight …

Surface properties of biomaterials play a major role in the governing of cell functionalities. It
is well known that mechanical, chemical and nanotopographic cues, for example, influence …

Most of the conventional in vitro models to test biomaterial-driven vascularization are too
simplistic to recapitulate the complex interactions taking place in the actual cell …
