Convection patterns gradients of non-living and living micro-entities in hydrogels
Canadas, Raphael Faustino; Patrício, Pedro; Brancato, Virginia; Gasperini, Luca; Caballero, David; Pires, Ricardo A; Costa, João B.; Pereira, HélderInducing thermal gradients in two injected fluid systems results in the temporal formation of mixing conductive streams. If preserved through sol-gel transition, this mechanism can be used to drive and pattern non-living and living entities in mixed hydrogels. Interfaces are vital in nature, where gradients of non-living and living entities build distinct yet continuous integrated living tissues. However, the c...

Silk fibroin/amniotic membrane 3D bi-layered artificial skin
Gholipourmalekabadi, Mazaher; Samadikuchaksaraei, Ali; Seifalian, Alexander M.; Urbanska, Aleksandra M.; Ghanbarian, Hossein; Hardy, John G.Burn injuries have been reported to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality and they are still considered as unmet clinical need. Although there is a myriad of effective stem cells that have been suggested for skin regeneration, there is no one ideal scaffold. The aim of this study was to develop a three-dimensional (3D) bi-layer scaffold made of biological decellularized human amniotic membrane (AM) w...
