Journal ArticleDOI
Nanofat Grafting: Basic Research and Clinical Applications
Patrick Tonnard,Alexis Verpaele,Geert Peeters,Moustapha Hamdi,Maria Cornelissen,Heidi Declercq +5 more
TL;DR: In clinical situations, nanofat seems to be suitable for skin rejuvenation purposes, and might become a new concept in the lipofilling area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased fibroblast proliferation induced by light emitting diode and low power laser irradiation.
TL;DR: LED and LLL irradiation resulted in an increased fibroblast proliferation in vitro, postulates possible stimulatory effects on wound healing in vivo at the applied dosimetric parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation, proliferation and differentiation of osteoblastic cells to study cell/biomaterial interactions: comparison of different isolation techniques and source.
Heidi Declercq,Natasja Van den Vreken,Erna A. P. De Maeyer,Ronald Verbeeck,Etienne Schacht,Leo De Ridder,Maria Cornelissen +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that considering the isolation method, proliferation capacity and the osteogenic potential, the enzymatically released fetal calvaria cells are most satisfactory to study cell/biomaterial interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcification as an indicator of osteoinductive capacity of biomaterials in osteoblastic cell cultures.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that dystrophic calcification can not be distinguished from cell-mediated calcification with von Kossa, FTIR and X-ray diffractometry and primary osteoblastic cells capable of forming nodules are recommended to evaluate the osteoinductive properties of biomaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of endothelial cells in the vasculopathy of systemic sclerosis: A systematic review
Yora Mostmans,Yora Mostmans,Maurizio Cutolo,C Giddelo,Saskia Decuman,Karin Melsens,Heidi Declercq,Els Vandecasteele,F De Keyser,Oliver Distler,Jan Gutermuth,Vanessa Smith +11 more
TL;DR: This systematic review emphasizes the growing evidence that SSc is primarily a vascular disease where EC dysfunction is present and prominent in different aspects of cell survival, angiogenesis and vasculogenesis and where disturbed interactions between ECs and various other cells contribute to SSc vasculopathy.
