Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro evaluation of the inflammatory potential of the silk fibroin.
TL;DR: The results achieved in this study demonstrate that the interactions of fibroin with the humoral components of the inflammatory system were comparable with those of the two model surfaces while the degree of activation and adhesion of the immunocompetent cells appeared more limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue-like self-assembly in cocultures of endothelial cells and osteoblasts and the formation of microcapillary-like structures on three-dimensional porous biomaterials.
Ronald E. Unger,Anne Sartoris,Kirsten Peters,Antonella Motta,Claudio Migliaresi,Martin Kunkel,Ulrike Bulnheim,Joachim Rychly,C. James Kirkpatrick +8 more
TL;DR: The results underline the necessity to take into account the in situ production of growth factors by invading mesenchymal cells in the regenerative niche and raise important questions concerning the exact nature of pro-angiogenic drug- or gene-delivery systems to be incorporated into scaffolds.
Book ChapterDOI
Scaffolds for tissue engineering and 3D cell culture.
TL;DR: This chapter reviews the principal polymeric materials that are used for the fabrication of scaffolds and the scaffold fabrication processes, with examples of properties and selected applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
The healing of confined critical size cancellous defects in the presence of silk fibroin hydrogel
Milena Fini,Antonella Motta,Paola Torricelli,Gianluca Giavaresi,N. Nicoli Aldini,Matilde Tschon,Roberto Giardino,Claudio Migliaresi +7 more
TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo behaviour of an injectable silk fibroin (SF) hydrogel was studied through osteoblast cultures and after implantation in critical-size defects of rabbit distal femurs, confirming that SF hydrogels accelerated remodelling processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Genipin-Cross-Linked Chitosan/Silk Fibroin Sponges for Cartilage Engineering Strategies
Simone S. Silva,Antonella Motta,Márcia T. Rodrigues,Ana F. M. Pinheiro,Manuela E. Gomes,João F. Mano,Rui L. Reis,Claudio Migliaresi +7 more
TL;DR: Sponges' intrinsic properties and biological results suggest that CSG sponges may be potential candidates for cartilage tissue engineering strategies, and the cytotoxicity of CSG sponge extracts is investigated.
