Allogenic synovia-derived mesenchymal stem cells for treatment of equine tendin...
Reis, Inês Leal; Lopes, Bruna; Sousa, Patrícia; Sousa, Ana Catarina; Branquinho, Mariana; Caseiro, Ana Rita; Pedrosa, Sílvia Santos; Rêma, AlexandraTendon and ligament injuries are frequent in sport horses and humans, and such injuries represent a significant therapeutic challenge. Tissue regeneration and function recovery are the paramount goals of tendon and ligament lesion management. Nowadays, several regenerative treatments are being developed, based on the use of stem cell and stem cell-based therapies. In the present study, the preparation of equine...
Evaluation of PVA biodegradable electric conductive membranes for nerve regener...
Ribeiro, Jorge; Caseiro, Ana Rita; Pereira, Tiago; Armada‐da‐Silva, Paulo Alexandre; Pires, Isabel; Prada, Justina; Irina, Amorim; Reis, Inês LealThe therapeutic effect of three polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membranes loaded with electrically conductive materials - carbon nanotubes (PVA-CNTs) and polypyrrole (PVA-PPy) - were tested in vivo for neuro-muscular regeneration after an axonotmesis injury in the rat sciatic nerve. The membranes electrical conductivity measured was 1.5 ± 0.5 × 10-6 S/m, 579 ± 0.6 × 10-6 S/m, and 1837.5 ± 0.7 × 10-6 S/m, respectively. ...
