Selective cell recruitment and spatially controlled cell attachment on instruct...

Bioactive constructs to guide cellular mobilization and function have been proposed as an approach for a new generation of biomaterials in functional tissue engineering. Adult mesenchymal stem cells have been widely used as a source for cell based therapeutic strategies, namely tissue engineering. This is a heterogeneous cell population containing many subpopulations with distinct regenerative capacity. Thus, o...

Chitosan membranes for spatially controlled cell adhesion and specific cell rec...

We propose a concept of biomaterials that are able to fix specific cell types onto their surface when in contact with a mix population of cells. Adipose tissue has shown to be an interesting source of stem cells with therapeutic potential. However only a small amount of the heteroge- neous mixture of the cells extracted from lipoaspirates are stem cells, and within stem cells there are different populations wit...

Micropatterning of bioactive glass nanoparticles on chitosan membranes for spat...

Bioactive glass nanoparticles (BG-NPs) capable of inducing apatite precipitation upon immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) were patterned on free-standing chitosan membranes by microcontact printing using a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) stamp inked in a BG-NPs pad. Formation of the patterns was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Mineralization of the bioactive glass patterns was induced in ...

Editorial [a] Materials for Healthcare Applications Symposium, EUROMAT 2011 (Mo...

The advancement of the healthcare and biomedical sectors requires the improvement of traditional biomaterials and the development of new and multifunctional biomaterial combinations with enhanced structural and biological performance. The need for biomaterials to help tackle the health problems of an increasing elderly population is continuously growing. Biomaterials science and technology is highly interdiscip...
