Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Formation of new vessels in granulation tissue during wound healing has been assumed to occur solely through sprouting angiogenesis. In contrast, we show here that neovascularization can be accomplished by nonangiogenic expansion of preexisting vessels. Us ...
Bioactive hydrogels formed by Michael-type addition reactions of end-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) macromers with cysteine-containing peptides have been described as extracellular matrix mimetics and tissue engineering scaffolds. Although these mate ...
The lack of angiogenesis in ischemic tissues is a major health problem and many studies aim to explore strategies to locally increase blood perfusion. Our approach is to use covalently modified fibrin-based hydrogels as a matrix that induces endothelial ce ...
Engineering of fetal tissue has a high potential for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds of the skin in humans as these cells have high expansion capacity under simple culture conditions and one organ donation can produce Master Cell Banks which can ...
Fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation - a key event in the development of fibrocontractive diseases and in wound granulation tissue contraction - is hallmarked by the formation of stress fibers and the neo-expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin. Inc ...
Surface properties of implanted biomaterials can cause fibrotic tissue reactions by stimulating differentiation of host fibroblasts into contractile myofibroblasts. Silk fibroin (SF) protein has been used as biomaterial in pure and blended form. however, i ...
The use of polymeric carriers containing dispersed magnetic nanocrystalline particles for targeted delivery of drugs in clinical practice has attracted the interest of the scientific community. In this paper a system comprised of alginate microparticles wi ...
Nowadays, there are still several unmet medical needs in the field of orthopaedic and trauma surgery leading to the incentive of finding alternative and innovative clinical therapeutics for the treatment of bone regeneration. For example, the entrapment of ...
For tissue engineering, several cell types and tissues have been proposed as starting material. Allogenic skin products available for therapeutic usage are mostly developed with cell culture and with foreskin tissue of young individuals. Fetal skin cells o ...
A major challenge for therapeutic delivery of angiogenic agents such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is to achieve sustained, low dose signaling leading to durable neovessel formation. To this end, we recently created a variant of VEGF(121), T ...
