Cell microencapsulation is an active interdisciplinary research field. It requires the input from materials sciences, organic and physical chemistry, biology and medicine. Hydrogels are particularly suitable materials to form microspheres for cell entrapme ...
Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone proposed to link nutritional status to the development of strong Th1 immunity. Because Mycobacterium tuberculosis control is affected by starvation and diabetes, we studied the role of the leptin receptor in regulating disti ...
The aim of this study was to culture human fetal bone cells (dedicated cell banks of fetal bone derived from 14 week gestation femurs) within both hyaluronic acid gel and collagen foam, to compare the biocompatibility of both matrices as potential delivery ...
Hydrophilic nanocarriers, formed by electrostatic interaction between their oppositely charged components, are recognized as nanomaterials with an enormous potential as vectors in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. However, comprehensive informati ...
T cells are the key mediators in cell-mediated immunity. Their development and maturation involve a complex variety of interactions with nonlymphoid cell products and receptors. Highly specialized to defend against bacterial and viral infections, T cells a ...
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small, DNA-containing dependovirus with promising potential as a gene delivery vehicle. Given the variety of applications of AAV-based vectors in the treatment of genetic disorders, numerous studies have focused on the imm ...
During the last decade, extensive research has been performed in the field of orthopedic medicine to develop cell-based therapies for the restoration of injured bone tissue. We previously demonstrated that human primary fetal bone cells (HFBCs) associated ...
Background: Glucocorticoids (GC) are potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive steroid hormones, mainly produced by the adrenal glands. However, increasing evidence supports the idea of additional extra-adrenal sources of bioactive GC. The lung epithe ...
We introduce the concept of the NutriChip, a miniaturized artificial human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) for investigating the potential of immuno-modulatory function of dairy food. More specifically, we are investigating the effect of digested milk on immu ...
Ability to migrate is a fundamental property of all animal cells. Cell migration underlies such important physiological and pathological processes as embryonic development, immune response, tissue regeneration and cancer metastasis. As cell migration invol ...
