Qualidade de vida, vitalidade e força de preensão manual em idosos praticantes ...
Antunes, R.; Fonseca, E.; Oliveira, D.; Matos, Rui; Amaro, Nuno; Morouço, P.; Coelho, Luís; Rebelo-Goncalves, R.O envelhecimento está associado a patologias crónicas, que podem ser prevenidas ou retardadas através do envolvimento em comportamentos saudáveis, como a prática regular de Exercício Físico (EF). O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a qualidade de vida, vitalidade e força de preensão manual de idosos participantes em programas comunitários de EF, bem como analisar a relação da prática de EF com estas vari...
Challenges and Innovations in Osteochondral Regeneration: Insights from Biology...
Morouço, P.; Fernandes, C.; Lattanzi, W.Due to the extremely high incidence of lesions and diseases in aging population, it is critical to put all efforts into developing a successful implant for osteochondral tissue regeneration. Many of the patients undergoing surgery present osteochondral fissure extending until the subchondral bone (corresponding to a IV grade according to the conventional radiographic classification by Berndt and Harty). Therefo...

Fabrication of Poly(Glycerol Sebacate)-Poly(ε-Caprolactone) Extrusion-Based Sca...
Reis, D.; Biscaia, S.; Seabra, I. J.; Veloso, A.; Morouço, P.Cartilage related diseases are on the top list concerns of the World Health Organization, being the prevention of articular cartilage degeneration a major health matter for which there are few effective solutions. Using an extrusion-based approach and a polyester elastomer it was aimed to produce 3D structures with controlled architecture and with closer mimicry to cartilage native tissue. The obtained construc...
A Novel Biomanufacturing System to Produce Multi-Material Scaffolds for Tissue ...
Viana, T.; Biscaia, S.; Dabrowska, E.; Franco, M.; Carreira, P.; Morouço, P.; Alves, N.This research work aims to validate a new system that enables the fabrication of multimaterial 3D structures using poly(e-caprolactone) and sodium alginate for potential use in Tissue Engineering applications. To produce multi-material scaffolds for Tissue Engineering, accurate techniques are needed to obtain three-dimensional constructs with clinically appropriate size and structural integrity. This paper pres...
Choosing sheep (Ovis aries) as animal model for temporomandibular joint researc...
Angelo, D.F.; Morouço, P.; Alves, N.; Viana, T.; Santos, F.; González, R.; Monje, F.; Macias, D.; Carrapiço, B.; Sousa, R.; Cavaco-Gonçalves, S.Preclinical trials are essential to the development of scientific technologies. Remarkable molecular and cellular research has been done using small animal models. However, significant differences exist regarding the articular behavior between these models and humans. Thus, large animal models may be more appropriate to perform trials involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The aim of this work was to make...
Quantification of Maximal Force Produced in Standard and Contra-Standard Sculli...
Diogo, V.; Soares, S.; Tourino, C.; Carmo, C.; Aleixo, I.; Morouço, P.; Figueiredo, P.; Vilas-Boas, J. P.; Fernandes, R. J.Studies carried out in synchronized swimming are very scarce, namely those which include biomechanical analysis of the sculling technique. The purpose of this study was to measure the maximal force produced in standard and contra-standard sculling, using a 30s maximal tethered synchronized swimming test. One former female synchronized swimmer and one former female swimmer performed a 2x30s maximum intensity tet...
