Injuries affecting load bearing tendon tissues are a significant clinical burden and efficient treatments are still unmet. Tackling tendon regeneration, tissue engineering strategies aim to develop functional substitutes that recreate native tendon milieu. Tendon mimetic scaffolds capable of remote magnetic responsiveness and functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) targeting cellular mechanosensitive recep...
O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a influência da condição corporal (CC) ao parto no balanço energético (BE) e o desempenho reprodutivo de cabras Alpinas no pós-parto. Foram utilizadas 68 cabras distribuídas em três grupos (G), sendo: G1- cabras com baixa CC (CC entre 1,5 e 2,5); G2: cabras com moderada CC (entre 2,75 e 3,5) e G3: cabras com alta CC (entre 3,75 e 5,0). Os animais receberam dieta (silagem de m...
[Excerpt] Introduction: Recent investigations highlight promising regenerative strategies for osteochondral (OC) tissue treatment, such as hierarchical nanocomposite scaffolds containing ionic dopants.1,2 They allow cell infiltration and ECM formation throughout the engineered cartilage and subchondral tissues. The biomechanical behavior, antibacterial properties, and in vivo performance of hierarchical nanostr...
The objective of the current study was to assess the use of nonlinear mixed model methodology to fit the growth curves (weight v. time) of two dairy goat genotypes (Alpine, +A and Saanen, +S). The nonlinear functions evaluated included Brody, Von Bertalanffy, Richards, Logistic and Gompertz. The growth curve adjustment was performed using two steps. First, random effects u1, u2 and u3 were linked to the asympto...
The present work has explored bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGNPs) and developed strontium-doped nanoparticles (BGNPsSr), envisioning orthopedic strategies compatible with vascularization. The nanoparticles were synthesized by the solâ gel method, achieving a diameter of 55 nm for BGNPs and 75 nm for BGNPsSr, and the inclusion of strontium caused no structural alteration. The nanoparticles exhibited high cytoc...
Photocrosslinkable magnetic hydrogels are attracting great interest for tissue engineering strategies due to their versatility and multifunctionality, including their remote controllability ex vivo, thus enabling engineering complex tissue interfaces. This study reports the development of a photocrosslinkable magnetic responsive hydrogel made of methacrylated chondroitin sulfate (MA-CS) enriched with platelet l...
Stem cell therapies hold potential to stimulate tendon regeneration and homeostasis, which is maintained in response to the native mechanical environment. Activins are members of the mechano-responsive TGF-β superfamily that participates in the regulation of several downstream biological processes. Mechanosensitive membrane receptors such as activin can be activated in different types of stem cells via magneti...
The objective in the current study was to associate different genotypes for the gene that codifies the αS1-casein with the profile of milk caseins and the morphology of the mammary gland epithelial cells in goats. The genotypes HH, HF, EE and EF for the αS1-casein gene (H = any high allele) were assessed based on the differences in the size of fragments amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-re...
