Electroactive functional microenvironments from bioactive polymers: a new strat...
Ribeiro, Sylvie Oliveira; Soares, M.; Hermenegildo, Bruno Filipe Costa; Correia, V.; García Díez, A.; Lanceros-Méndez, S.The present work reports on a new approach based on electroactive microenvironments to mitigate skeletal muscle cancer. For that, piezoelectric films based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) have been applied to evaluate the influence of mechano- and/or electrical stimuli on rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) proliferation. Human embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells were cultured on PVDF pristine films with different surface ch...
Ionic liquid-based electroactive materials: a novel approach for cardiac tissue...
Meira, Rafaela Marques; Correia, Daniela Maria Silva; García Díez, A.; Lanceros-Méndez, S.; Ribeiro, C.Cardiac tissue regeneration strategies are increasingly taking advantage of electroactive scaffolds to actively recreate tissue microenvironment. In this context, this work reports on advanced materials based on two different ionic liquids (ILs), 2- hydroxyethyl-trimethylammonium dihydrogen phosphate ([Ch][DHP]) and choline bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Ch][TFSI]), combined with poly(vinylidene fluoride-c...
