    • A mouse model suggests that heart failure and its common comorbidity sleep fragmentation have no synergistic impacts on the gut microbiome 

      Khannous Lleiffe, Olfat; Willis, Jesse R.; Saus, Ester; Cabrera Aguilera, Ignacio; Almendros, Isaac; Farré, Ramon; Gozal, David; Farré, Nuria; Gabaldón, Toni (MDPI, 2021)
      Article
      Open Access
      Heart failure (HF) is a common condition associated with a high rate of hospitalizations and adverse outcomes. HF is characterized by impairments of either the cardiac ventricular filling, ejection of blood capacity or ...
    • Association between viscoelastic characteristics and sputum colour in patients with bronchiectasis 

      Alcaraz Serrano, Victoria; Sanz Fraile, Héctor; Bueno Freire, Leticia; Farré, Ramon; Otero, Jorge; Vázquez, Nil; Rovira Ribalta, Nona; Oscanoa, Patricia; Torres, Antoni; Fernández Barat, Laia (2023-06)
      Article
      Open Access
      In this study, we have described for the first time an association between the SCC and the viscoelastic characteristics of sputum in bronchiectasis. Although rheology has been suggested as a useful differential biomarker ...
    • Cell-Laden 3D hydrogels of type I collagen incorporating bacterial nanocellulose fibers 

      Malandain, Nanthilde; Sanz Fraile, Héctor; Farré, Ramon; Otero, Jorge; Roig, Anna; Laromaine Segué, Anna (American Chemical Society, 2023-09-18)
      Article
      Open Access
      There is a growing interest in developing natural hydrogel-based scaffolds to culture cells in a three-dimensional (3D) millieu that better mimics the in vivo cells' microenvironment. A promising approach is to use hydrogels ...
    • Characterization of bioinks prepared via gelifying extracellular matrix from decellularized porcine myocardia 

      Sanz Fraile, Héctor; Herranz Díez, Carolina; Ulldemolins, Anna; Falcones Olarte, Bryan; Almendros, Isaac; Gavara, Núria; Sunyer, Raimon; Farré, Ramon; Otero, Jorge (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-09-13)
      Article
      Open Access
      Since the emergence of 3D bioprinting technology, both synthetic and natural materials have been used to develop bioinks for producing cell-laden cardiac grafts. To this end, extracellular-matrix (ECM)-derived hydrogels ...
    • Involvement of mechanical cues in the migration of Cajal-Retzius cells in the marginal zone during neocortical development 

      López Mengual, Ana; Segura Feliu, Miriam; Sunyer, Raimon; Sanz Fraile, Héctor; Otero, Jorge; Mesquina Veny, Francina; Gil, Vanessa; Hervera, Arnau; Ferrer, Isidre; Soriano, Jordi; Trepat Guixer, Xavier; Farré, Ramon; Navajas Navarro, Daniel; Del Río, José Antonio (Frontiers Media SA, 2022-05-16)
      Article
      Open Access
      Emerging evidence points to coordinated action of chemical and mechanical cues during brain development. At early stages of neocortical development, angiogenic factors and chemokines such as CXCL12, ephrins, and semaphorins ...
    • Mechanical ventilation promotes lung tumour spread by modulation of cholesterol cell content 

      López Alonso, Inés; López Martínez, Cecilia; Martín Vicente, Paula; Amado Rodríguez, Laura; González López, Adrián; Mayordomo Colunga, Juan; del Busto, Cecilia; Bernal, Marina; Crespo, Irene; Astudillo, Aurora; Arias Guillén, Miguel; Fueyo, Antonio; Almendros, Isaac; Otero, Jorge; Sanz Fraile, Héctor; Farré, Ramon; Albaiceta, Guillermo M. (2022-07)
      Article
      Open Access
      Background: Mechanical stretch of cancer cells can alter their invasiveness. During mechanical ventilation, lungs may be exposed to an increased amount of stretch, but the consequences on lung tumours have not been explored. ...
    • Obstructive sleep apnea in a rat model: effects of anesthesia on autonomic evaluation from heart rate variability measures 

      Jané Campos, Raimon; Lázaro, Jesús; Ruiz, Puy; Gil, Eduardo; Navajas, Daniel; Farré, Ramon; Laguna, Pablo (Computing in Cardiology, 2013)
      Conference report
