2D Bi-layer scaffolds of polycaprolactone and chitosan β-glycerol-based film fo...

Dynamic culture of osteogenic cells in biomimetically coated poly(caprolactone)...

In our previous work, biomimetic calcium phosphate-coated poly(caprolactone) nanofibre meshes (BCP-NMs) were demonstrated to be more effective for supporting cell attachment and proliferation under static conditions, when compared with poly(caprolactone) nanofibre meshes (PCL-NMs). In many applications, in vitro cultivation of constructs using bioreactors that support efficient nutrition of cells has appeared a...

Degradable particulate composite reinforced with nanofibres for biomedical appl...

Nanofibre-based structures and their composites are increasingly being studied for many biomedical applications, including tissue engineering scaffolds. These materials enable architectures resembling the extracellular matrix to be obtained. The search for optimized supports and carriers of cells is still a major challenge for the tissue engineering field. The main purpose of this work is to develop a novel com...

Surface controlled biomimetic coating of polycaprolactone nanofiber meshes to b...

The aim of this work was to develop novel electrospun nanofiber meshes coated with a biomimetic calcium phosphate (BCP) layer that mimics the extracellular microenvironment found in the human bone structure. Poly(!-caprolactone) (PCL) was selected because of its well-known medical applications, its biodegradability, biocompatibility and its susceptibility to partial hydrolysis by a straightforward alkaline trea...

Evaluation of extracellular matrix formation in polycaprolactone and starch-com...

Cartilage defects are a major health problem. Tissue engineering has developed different strategies and several biomaterial morphologies, including natural-based ones, for repairing these defects. We used electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) and starch-compounded PCL (SPCL) nanofiber meshes to evaluate extracellular matrix (ECM) formation by bovine articular chondrocytes (BACs). The main aim of this work was to e...

Viabilidade de formulação peletizada do fungo nematófago Monacrosporium sinense...

A viabilidade de uma formulação do fungo Monacrosporium sinense foi avaliada no controle de nematóides parasitos gastrintestinais de bovinos. Dois grupos de 10 bezerros cada um, mestiços Holandês x Zebu, de seis a nove meses de idade, foram colocados em pastagem de Brachiaria brizantha. Em um dos grupos, cada animal recebeu 20g de péletes em matriz de alginato de sódio, contendo massa miceliana do fungo M. sine...

Antígenos de larva de Taenia solium em ELISA para diagnóstico da cisticercose b...

Foram avaliados alguns parâmetros inerentes ao ELISA, por meio de ensaios de reatividade de soros-controle positivos e negativos para a cisticercose bovina com relação a três tipos de antígenos de larva de Taenia solium: total, de escólex e de membrana. As concentrações de antígeno de 0,25; 0,5; 1; 2 e 4µg por orifício, e as diluições de soro de 1:25, 1:50, 1:100 e 1:200, foram os parâmetros que menos influenci...

Electrospun nanostructured scaffolds for tissue engineering applications

Despite being known for decades (since 1934), electrospinning has emerged recently as a very widespread technology to produce synthetic nanofibrous structures. These structures have morphologies and fiber diameters in a range comparable with those found in the extracellular matrix of human tissues. Therefore, nanofibrous scaffolds are intended to provide improved environments for cell attachment, migration, pro...

Efeito antagônico de fungos predadores dos gêneros Monacrosporium, Arthrobotrys...

Seis isolados dos fungos nematófagos Monacrosporium thaumasium (isolado NF 34A), Monacrosporium sinense (isolado SF 470), Monacrosporium appendiculatum (isolado CGI), Arthrobotrys robusta (isolado I 31), Arthrobotrys cladodes (isolado CG 719) e Duddingtonia flagrans (isolado CG 768) foram avaliados em laboratório quanto à capacidade de predar larvas infectantes de Cooperia sp. e Oesophagostomum sp. Nos testes i...

Controle biológico de tricostrongilídeos (Nematoda: Trichostrongyloidea) gastri...

Avaliou-se a resistência do fungo nematófago Monacrosporium sinense (isolado SF 470) em passar pelo trato gastrintestinal de bovinos e testou-se sua capacidade predatória sobre larvas infectantes de tricostrongilídeos após a passagem. Cem gramas de péletes formulados em matriz de alginato de sódio do isolado fúngico de M. sinense foram administrados, por via oral (VO), a dois bezerros mestiços holandês×ze...
