Journal ArticleDOI
Collagen VI regulates satellite cell self-renewal and muscle regeneration
Anna Urciuolo,Marco Quarta,Valeria Morbidoni,Francesca Gattazzo,Sibilla Molon,Paolo Grumati,Francesca Montemurro,Francesco Tedesco,Bert Blaauw,Giulio Cossu,Giovanni Vozzi,Thomas A. Rando,Paolo Bonaldo +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the extracellular matrix protein collagen VI is a key component of the satellite cell niche and establishes a critical role for an extracllular matrix molecule in satellite cell self-renewal and open new venues for therapies of collagen VI-related muscle diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endothelial cells support osteogenesis in an in vitro vascularized bone model developed by 3D bioprinting.
Irene Chiesa,Carmelo De Maria,Anna Lapomarda,Gabriele Maria Fortunato,Francesca Montemurro,Roberto Di Gesù,Roberto Di Gesù,Rocky S. Tuan,Rocky S. Tuan,Giovanni Vozzi,Riccardo Gottardi +10 more
TL;DR: An in vitro vascularized bone model, using a gelatin-nanohydroxyapatite (gel-nHA) 3D bioprinted scaffold, simulating de novo morphogenesis of capillary vessels occurring during tissue development and highlighting how the inclusion of endothelial cells more realistically supports osteogenesis is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pectin-GPTMS-Based Biomaterial: toward a Sustainable Bioprinting of 3D scaffolds for Tissue Engineering Application.
Anna Lapomarda,Aurora De Acutis,Irene Chiesa,Irene Chiesa,Gabriele Maria Fortunato,Francesca Montemurro,Carmelo De Maria,Monica Mattioli Belmonte,Riccardo Gottardi,Giovanni Vozzi +9 more
TL;DR: The results show the great potential of using pectin crosslinked with GPTMS as biomaterial ink to fabricate patient specific scaffolds, which could be used to promote tissue regeneration in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simplified cell culture method for the diagnosis of atypical primary ciliary dyskinesia
Massimo Pifferi,Francesca Montemurro,A.M. Cangiotti,Vincenzo Ragazzo,M.E. Di Cicco,Bruna Vinci,Giovanni Vozzi,Pierantonio Macchia,A. L. Boner +8 more
TL;DR: Ciliogenesis in culture allowed the diagnosis of PCD in four of these patients, it was indicative of a secondary defect in two subjects, and it was not helpful in the remaining three patients, nevertheless it may offer diagnostic help in doubtful cases ofPCD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone scaffolds with homogeneous and discrete gradient mechanical properties.
C. Jelen,Giorgio Mattei,Francesca Montemurro,C. De Maria,Monica Mattioli-Belmonte,Giovanni Vozzi +5 more
TL;DR: Bone TE uses a scaffold either to induce bone formation from surrounding tissue or to act as a carrier or template for implanted bone cells or other agents, and develops discrete functionally graded scaffolds (discrete FGSs) in order to mimic the graded structure of bone tissue.
