Dual-action effect of gallium and silver providing osseointegration and antibacterial properties to calcium titanate coatings on porous titanium implants
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-05-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: AMES / Institut de Bioenginyeria de CatalunyaPreviously, functional coatings on 3D-printed titanium implants were developed to improve their biointegration by separately incorporating Ga and Ag on the biomaterial surface. Now, a thermochemical treatment modification ... -
Comparison of the antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles and a multifunctional antimicrobial peptide on titanium surface
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-06-04)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu / Institut de Bioenginyeria de CatalunyaTitanium implantation success may be compromised by Staphylococcus aureus surface colonization and posterior infection. To avoid this issue, different strategies have been investigated to promote an antibacterial character ... -
Solvent-cast direct-writing and electrospinning as a dual fabrication strategy for drug-eluting polymeric bioresorbable stents
(Elsevier, 2023-06-05)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu / Universitat de Girona / Institut de Bioenginyeria de CatalunyaBioresorbable stents (BRS) are conceived to retain sufficient radial strength after implantation while releasing an antiproliferative drug in order to prevent vessel restenosis until complete resorption. Ongoing research ... -
Guiding fibroblast activation using an RGD-mutated heparin binding II fragment of fibronectin for gingival titanium integration
(John Wiley & sons, 2023-08-21)
Article
Open AccessThe formation of a biological seal around the neck of titanium (Ti) implants is critical for ensuring integration at the gingival site and for preventing bacterialcolonization that may lead to periimplantitis. This process ... -
Cold plasma and inhibition of STAT3 selectively target tumorigenicity in osteosarcoma
(2023-06-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu / Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias / Instituto Universitario de Oncología del Principado de Asturias / CIBERONC. Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red. CáncerOsteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant type of bone cancer that arises in periods of increased bone formation. Curative strategies for these types of tumors have remained essentially unchanged for decades and the overall survival ... -
Endothelium and subendothelial matrix mechanics modulate cancer cell transendothelial migration
(John Wiley & sons, 2023-06-02)
Article
Open AccessCancer cell extravasation, a key step in the metastatic cascade, involves cancer cell arrest on the endothelium, transendothelial migration (TEM), followed by the invasion into the subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM) ... -

(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-01-26)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Porto Dental Institute / Universidad Europea Miguel de Cervantes / Universitat Internacional de CatalunyaDigital dentistry and new techniques for the dental protheses’ suprastructure fabrication have undergone a great evolution in recent years, revolutionizing the quality of dental prostheses. The aim of this work is to ... -
Derivation and characterisation of endothelial cells from patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
(Nature, 2021-09-22)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Hospital Clínic i Provincial de Barcelona / Institut de Bioenginyeria de Catalunya / Universiteit LeidenPulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) resected material offers a unique opportunity to develop an in vitro endothelial cell model of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). We aimed to comprehensively analyze the ... -

Poroelastic osmoregulation of living cell volume
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
Article
Open AccessCells maintain their volume through fine intracellular osmolarity regulation. Osmotic challenges drive fluid into or out of cells causing swelling or shrinkage, respectively. The dynamics of cell volume changes depending ... -
