Responsive dehydration: sensor-driven optimisation of production cycles in a so...
Rossi da Silva, Paulo Bruno; Farrero, Bernardo; Silva, Arthur Marangoanha; Babo, Pedro S.; Ribeiro, Luís FrölénDrying is an effective method for preserving food. Compared to freezing, it consumes less energy and produces equivalent results. Solar heat is a great way for small farmers to create sustainable and affordable goods since it costs no energy. This article describes and explains how to operate equipment developed to address this issue. The equipment is currently undergoing experimental validation, and real-time ...
Hyaluronic acid hydrogels incorporating platelet lysate enhance human pulp cell...
Almeida, Leopoldina D. F.; Babo, Pedro S.; Silva, Cristiana R.; Rodrigues, Márcia T.; Hebling, Josimeri; Reis, Rui L.; Gomes, Manuela E.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T08:45:21Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-06-01; The restoration of dentine-pulp complex remains a challenge for dentists; nonetheless, it has been poorly addressed. An ideal system should modulate the host response, as well as enable the recruitment, proliferation and differentiation of relevant progenitor cells. Herein was proposed a photocrosslinka...
Effect of sonic agitation of a binary mixture of solvents on filling remnants r...
Ferreira, Inês; Babo, Pedro S.; Braga, Ana Cristina; Gomes, Manuela E.; Pina-Vaz, IreneBackground: This work aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sonic agitation of a binary mixture of solvents (methyl ethyl ketone/tetrachloroethylene) on filling remnants removal and compare the effects of solvent agitation with the enlargement to the next instrument size. Methods: Twenty-four mandibular incisors were prepared with ProTaper Next (X1, X2) and obturated with the single-cone technique and AH Plus seale...
The effects of platelet lysate patches on the activity of tendon-derived cells
Almeida, Raquel Carvalho Ferreira Costa; Franco, Albina Ribeiro; Pesqueira, Tamagno; Oliveira, Mariana Braga; Babo, Pedro S.; Leonor, I. B.; Mano, J. F.Platelet-derived biomaterials are widely explored as cost-effective sources of therapeutic factors, holding a strong potential for endogenous regenerative medicine. Particularly for tendon repair, treatment approaches that shift the injury environment are explored to accelerate tendon regeneration. Herein, genipin-crosslinked platelet lysate (PL) patches are proposed for the delivery of human-derived therapeuti...
