Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) prevent the onset of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in
animal models, an effect that seems to be mediated by their secreted extracellular vesicles (…

Muscle tissue engineering can provide support to large congenital skeletal muscle defects
using scaffolds able to allow cell migration, proliferation and differentiation. Acellular …

Early therapeutic effect of intratracheally (IT)-administered extracellular vesicles secreted by
mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) has been demonstrated in a rat model of …

Background Treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains as yet an unmet clinical
need and recently stem cells have been proposed as a therapeutic tool in animal models. …

The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of ureteral stenosis in a life‐supporting
human decay‐accelerating factor (hDAF) transgenic pig‐to‐cynomolgus monkey kidney …

Hydrogels are biomaterials that, thanks to their unique hydrophilic and biomimetic characteristics,
are used to support cell growth and attachment and promote tissue regeneration. The …

Interstitial cells of the adult rat heart were characterized with respect to i) expression of cardiac
markers of commitment and differentiation, ii) myogenic potential in vitro and iii) ability to …

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a neonatal defect in which the diaphragm muscle
does not develop properly, thereby raising abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity and …

Skeletal muscle tissue engineering (TE) aims to efficiently repair large congenital and
acquired defects. Biological acellular scaffolds are considered a good tool for TE, as …

Background Moderate normobaric hyperoxia causes alveolar and vascular lung derangement
in the newborn rat. Endogenous nitric oxide (NO), which promotes lung growth, is …
