Cryogenic, but not hypothermic, preservation disrupts the extracellular matrix ...
Ribeiro, Sara Cristina Freitas; Carvalho, A. F.; Rodrigues, Daniel Barreira; Martins, L.; Pires, R. A.; Mendes, V. M.; Manadas, B.; Jarnalo, M.Cell sheet (CS)-based approaches hold significant potential for tissue regeneration, relying on the extracellular matrix (ECM) for success. Like in native tissues, the ECM provides structural and biochemical support for cellular homeostasis and function. Effective preservation strategies that maintain ECM integrity are critical to enhance the therapeutic potential of CS-based approaches. While cryogenic and hyp...
The impact of preservation strategies on tissue engineering constructs: streaml...
Ribeiro, Sara Cristina FreitasThe shortage of human tissues and organs for transplantation continues to pose a significant medical and societal challenge, leading to a growing interest in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM). Significant progress has indeed been made in this field, fueling the expectation for viable clinical products in the short term. This means there is a pressing need for effective preservation methodologi...
Prevascularized spongy-like hydrogels maintain their angiogenic potential after...
Ribeiro, Sara Cristina Freitas; Moreira, H.; da Silva, Lucília Pereira; Noro, Jennifer Martins; Sampaio-Marques, B.; Ludovico, Paula; Jarnalo, M.The chronic shortage of organs and tissues for transplantation represents a dramatic burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Tissue engineering offers a potential solution to address these shortages, but several challenges remain, with prevascularization being a critical factor for in vivo survival and integration of tissue engineering products. Concurrently, a different challenge hindering the clinical impleme...
