(English) Mimicking bone extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential to improve cell-material interactions. In this regard, the functionalization of materials with biomolecules derived from the bone ECM is ...
(English) Substantial research efforts in the field of tissue engineering have been done in the recent years to overcome the bone regeneration limitations of the human body and to treat bone-related ...
(English) This thesis is framed in the ERC Starting Grant Project “Atmospheric Pressure plAsma meets biomaterials for bone Cancer HEaling (APACHE)”. The APACHE Project aims at evaluating plasma technology ...
(English) Bone is the second most frequent tissue transplantation right after blood transfusion. Although it has natural self-healing abilities, bone grafts are required in critical size defects to ...
(English) Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in the world. The heart has a very limited regeneration capacity. Thus, following tissue damage – e.g., myocardial infarction –, heart ...
(English) This PhD thesis is framed in the European Research Council starting grant project "Atmospheric Pressure plasma meets biomaterials far bone Cancer HEaling (APACHE)". The APACHE project is focused ...
(English) The restoration of the functionality of lost teeth is mainly accomplished placing dental implants. However, in the case of alveolar bone atrophies, this treatment might not be possible. Various ...
(English) Bone defects pose a major clinical and socio-economic burden and there is a clear need for new bone grafting strategies that take into account the physical-chemical properties of the native ...
(English) Oncogenic pathologies are the second leading cause of death worldwide only after cardiovascular diseases. It is estimated that, by 2030, the number of patients diagnosed with this disease will ...
(English) Over 2 million bone grafting procedures are performed each year. In the last years, synthetic calcium phosphates have drawn the attention of the researchers for their close similarity to the ...
