In the recent years medical diagnosis and surgery planning often require the precise evaluation of joint movements. This has led to exploit reconstructed three-dimensional models of the joint tissues obtained from CT or MR Images (for bones, cartilages, et ...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of pain and disability. Currently, non-surgical treatment is limited to analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs, which are not capable of either modifying the disease process or regenerate damaged parts in ...
Most tissue engineering approaches include the delivery of reparative cells to a damaged host tissue. Generally these cells are sought to be of a stem cell character since they retain a high potential for proliferation and differentiation into diverse phen ...
Cell therapy for nucleus pulposus regeneration is an attractive treatment for early disc degeneration as shown by studies using autologous nucleus pulposus cells or stem cells. Another potential source of cells is fetal cells. We investigated the feasibili ...
The zone of calcified cartilage (ZCC) is critical for the normal attachment of articular cartilage to bone as well as to the biomimetic bioengineering of osteochondral tissue constructs. However, relatively few osteochondral tissue engineering approaches h ...
Stem cell use in bladder tissue engineering is a recently addressed area of investigation that has generated excitement as a novel way to restore and regenerate lost or damaged urinary bladder tissue. The remodelling of smooth muscle plays a significant ro ...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a population of multipotent cells that can differentiate into various lineages such as fibroblast, osteoblast, chondrocyte and adipocyte and can be maintained over extended periods in vitro. They are also known to have a su ...
This paper presents results of experimental and numerical investigations on double-lap joints composed of pultruded GFRP profiles and polyurethane adhesive subjected to quasi-static axial tensile loading. The objective was to investigate the effect of the ...
The formation of scar tissue due to dedifferentiation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is one of the major issues faced when engineering bladder tissue. Furthermore, cell sources for regenerating the SMC layer are also limiting. Here we explore if human mesen ...
The extracellular matrix of dense, avascular tissues presents a barrier to entry for polymer-based therapeutics, such as drugs encapsulated within polymeric particles. Here, we present an approach by which polymer nanoparticles, suffciently small to enter ...
