Aim: Burns affect 11 million people globally each year, with 180,000 fatalities [1]. This study investigates a multilayer burn dressing combining silk fibroin (SF) fabric with highly- preserved decellularized porcine small intestine (dPSI) to support tissue regeneration and wound integration [2]. A silk sericin (SS) hydrogel is included as interface for structural integrity and anti-inflammatory benefits, enhan...
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of adult mortality worldwide, according to the World Health Organization [1]. An important surgical approach for treating diseased aortic valves is the Ross procedure, in whic the affected aortic valve is replaced with an autograft from the patient’s own pulmonary valve.
Burns affect 11 million people globally each year with 180,000 associated fatalities. This study proposes a multilayer hybrid dressing combining a silk fibroin (SF) textile with decellularized porcine small intestine (dPSI) capable of simultaneously provide wound protection and tissue regeneration. A silk sericin (SS) hydrogel was embedded into the decellularized tissue ensuring the integration with the textile...
Aim: Burn wounds represent a significant medical challenge. Autografts remain the standard treatment, however, are unsuitable for deep or extensive burns(1). Decellularized skin xenografts offer a viable alternative, having significantly reduced immunogenicity, still there is currently no skin-derived decellularized xenografic matrix due to its low resemblance to human skin (2)(3). This study proposes decellula...
Multiple myeloma is a neoplasm of plasma cells that in most cases is associated with the secretion of monoclonal immunoglobulins and can involve multiple organs. Its timely diagnosis is essential to limit or avoid irreversible damage and dysfunction of target organs. Appropriate initial stratification of patients allows for optimization in the selection and sequence of therapy, as well as proper follow-up durin...
Burn wounds remain a significant challenge in medical care, requiring effective wound coverage to restore the skin barrier and promote healing or support skin reconstruction. The use of autologous grafts as substitutes is still the standard treatment, however, it is not suitable for deep and extensive burns (1). Decellularized skin allografts and xenografts have emerged as suitable options, using decellularizat...
Burn wounds remain a major clinical challenge, requiring effective coverage to restore the skin barrier and support healing. Autologous grafts are the standard treatment but are limited in deep or extensive burns [1]. Decellularized allografts and xenografts offer alternatives by removing immunogenic material while preserving ECM components [2]. Considering that xenografts source availability is significantly h...
