Dental pulp stem cells and Bonelike® for bone regeneration in ovine model
Campos, J; Sousa, A; Caseiro, A; Pedrosa, S; Pinto, P; Branquinho, M; Amorim, I; Santos, J; Pereira, T; Mendonça, C; Afonso, A; Atayde, L; Maurício, ADevelopment of synthetic bone substitutes has arisen as a major research interest in the need to find an alternative to autologous bone grafts. Using an ovine model, the present pre-clinical study presents a synthetic bone graft (Bonelike®) in combination with a cellular system as an alternative for the regeneration of non-critical defects. The association of biomaterials and cell-based therapies is a promising...
Prevalence of antibodies to a new histo-blood system: the FORS system
Jesus, C; Hesse, C; Rocha, C; Osório, N; Valado, A; Caseiro, A; Gabriel, A; Svensson, L; Moslemi, AR; Siba, WA; Srour, MA; Pereira, C; Tomaz, JIn 1987, three unrelated English families were reported with a putative blood subgroup called Apae. Swedish researchers later found evidence leading to abolishment of the Apae subgroup and establishment instead of the FORS blood group system (System 31 - ISBT, 2012). It is important to know the prevalence of antibodies in order to make the best decisions in transfusion medicine. Cells expressing the Forssman sa...
