Biohybrid dressings: integrating silk fibroin textiles with decellularized biol...
Sousa, Teresa; Vale, Inês; Rosadas, Marta; Silva, Inês V.; Ribeiro, Viviana P.; Oliveira, Ana L.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...
Contemporary strategies for the structural design of multi-story modular timber...
Tenório, Marina; Ferreira, Rui Pedro de Sousa Guimarães; Barros, Victor Vieira Belafonte; Sousa, Filipe Soares; Meireis, CláudioModular timber construction embodies a pioneering and eco-friendly methodology within the building sector. With the notable progress made in manufacturing technologies and the advent of engineered wood products, timber has evolved into a promising substitute for conventional materials such as concrete, masonry, and steel. Beyond its structural attributes, timber brings environmental advantages, including its in...
Integrating decellularized small intestine matrices and silk-based textiles for...
Vale, Inês; Silva, Inês V.; Rosadas, Marta; Oliveira, Ana L.; Ribeiro, Viviana P.Medical textiles are frequently utilized in implants and other medical devices. But even though they are successful in providing structural support for the transplanted organs, they typically exhibit an inert nature that hinders the tissues' or organs' ability to repair or regenerate (1). Decellularized biological tissues, on the other hand, have a remarkable biological character because they include all the na...
