Effect of functionalization of texturized polypropylene surface by silanization and HBII-RGD attachment on response of primary abdominal and vaginal fibroblasts
(MDPI, 2024)
Soft tissue defects, such as incisional hernia or pelvic organ prolapse, are prevalent pathologies characterized by a tissue microenvironment rich in fragile and dysfunctional fibroblasts. Precision ...
Cognitive enhancement strategies for older adults: an evaluation of different training modalities to improve executive function- a systematic review and meta-analysis
(MDPI, 2024)
(1) Background: The aging population is expected to triple by 2050. Executive functions decline with age, impacting daily tasks, and this is associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Aerobic and ...
Oozing: an accessible technique to create 3D-printed scaffolds suitable for tissue engineering
(ACCScience Publishing, 2024)
Tissue-engineered constructs require mimicking the extracellular matrix microenvironment of native tissue for better promoting cell growth. Commercial three-dimensional (3D) printers provide a versatile ...
