    Processing and characterization of innovative scaffolds for bone tissue engineering

    A new protocol, based on a modified replication method, is proposed to obtain bioactive glass scaffolds. The main feature of these samples, named “shell scaffolds”, is their external surface that, like a compa...

    Cell response of cultured macrophages, fibroblasts, and co-cultures of Kupffer cells and hepatocytes to particles of short-chain poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid]

    The known biodegradability of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid] (PHB) in certain biological environments has lead to its proposed use as biodegradable, biocompatible polymer. Recently, a new, rapidly biodegradable ...

    Phagocytosis and biodegradation of short-chain poly [(R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid] particles in macrophage cell line

    The biocompatibility and the degradation mechanisms of block co-polyurethanes containing crystallizable telechelic poly [(R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid] (PHB) segments have found recently growing interest for the poss...
