Over this decade, cell printing strategy has emerged as one of the promising approaches to
organize cells in two and three dimensional engineered tissues. High resolution and high …

Hybrid materials combining polyethylene terephthalate and different types of cells (endothelial
and osteoblastic cells) have been developed thanks to the covalent grafting of different …

Ten years ago brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), the second compound of a family of
polypeptide hormones named natriuretic peptides was identified. This peptide has great …

BACKGROUND: A pacemaker recipient may be hospitalized recurrently with an infection of
unknown origin despite detailed investigations. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was …

In patients requiring coronary or peripheral vascular bypass procedures, autogenous arterial
or vein grafts remain as the conduit of choice even in the case of redo patients. It is in this …

This article reviews the present state of small-diameter vascular substitution, the mechanisms
of graft failure and the ongoing matters of graft design, with particular attention to small-…

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the role of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)
positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scanning in identifying …

Surgical resection of the esophagus requires sacrificing a long portion of it. Its replacement
by the demanding gastric pull-up or colonic interposition techniques may be avoided by …

A hydrogel was prepared from polysaccharides (pullulan/dextran/fucoidan) and evaluated
as a novel biomaterial for Endothelial Progenitor Cell (EPC) culture. Using a cross-linking …

Polysaccharide‐based hydrogels are remarkable materials for the development of tissue
engineering strategies as they meet several critical requirements for such applications and they …
