A Novel Biomanufacturing System to Produce Multi-Material Scaffolds for Tissue ...
Viana, T.; Biscaia, S.; Dabrowska, E.; Franco, M.; Carreira, P.; Morouço, P.; Alves, N.This research work aims to validate a new system that enables the fabrication of multimaterial 3D structures using poly(e-caprolactone) and sodium alginate for potential use in Tissue Engineering applications. To produce multi-material scaffolds for Tissue Engineering, accurate techniques are needed to obtain three-dimensional constructs with clinically appropriate size and structural integrity. This paper pres...
A mobile solution to help visually impaired people in public transports and in ...
Brito, D.; Viana, T.; Sousa, D.; Lourenço, A.; Paiva, SaraPromoting social inclusion is a field of active research and an emergent topic that relates to blind and visually impaired people. They face plenty of problems in their daily routines and solutions to increase their independence are important. Among the difficulties they face, we discuss two that aim to help them in the use of public transport and the carrying out of walking routes between strategic points such...
Choosing sheep (Ovis aries) as animal model for temporomandibular joint researc...
Angelo, D.F.; Morouço, P.; Alves, N.; Viana, T.; Santos, F.; González, R.; Monje, F.; Macias, D.; Carrapiço, B.; Sousa, R.; Cavaco-Gonçalves, S.Preclinical trials are essential to the development of scientific technologies. Remarkable molecular and cellular research has been done using small animal models. However, significant differences exist regarding the articular behavior between these models and humans. Thus, large animal models may be more appropriate to perform trials involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The aim of this work was to make...
