Journal ArticleDOI
Composite scaffolds for controlled drug release: Role of the polyurethane nanoparticles on the physical properties and cell behaviour
Piergiorgio Gentile,Piergiorgio Gentile,Devis Bellucci,Antonella Sola,Clara Mattu,Valeria Cannillo,Gianluca Ciardelli +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that NPs incorporation into the gelatin coating of the composite scaffolds had not changed significantly the micro-architecture of the scaffolds in terms of mean pore diameter and pore size distribution, and increased the compressive modulus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanostructured scaffold with biomimetic and antibacterial properties for wound healing produced by 'green electrospinning'.
Chiara Tonda-Turo,Francesca Ruini,Chiara Ceresa,Piergiorgio Gentile,Patrícia Varela,Ana Marina Ferreira,Letizia Fracchia,Gianluca Ciardelli +7 more
TL;DR: G gelatin cross-linked nanofibers (GL-nanofibres), with diameters ranging from 200 to 300 nm, were prepared via a "green electrospinning technique" to mimic the structure and composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM), and promote the normal skin wound healing process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processing and characterization of innovative scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
Devis Bellucci,Federica Chiellini,Gianluca Ciardelli,Matteo Gazzarri,Piergiorgio Gentile,Antonella Sola,Valeria Cannillo +6 more
TL;DR: Preliminary biological evaluations suggested a promising role of the shell scaffolds for applications in bone tissue regeneration, as proved by compression tests performed before and after immersion in SBF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymatically-Modified Melt-Extruded Guides for Peripheral Nerve Repair
Valeria Chiono,Valeria Chiono,Gianluca Ciardelli,Gianluca Ciardelli,Giovanni Vozzi,J. Cortez,Niccoletta Barbani,Piergiorgio Gentile,Paolo Giusti +8 more
TL;DR: In this work, melt‐extruded guides for peripheral nerve repair were produced, based on blends between poly‐(ϵ‐caprolactone) and gelatin with a low gelatin amount, with the aim of combining the good melt process ability of the synthetic polymer with the optimal biocompatibility of the natural polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoactive chitosan switching on bone-like apatite deposition.
Valeria Chiono,Piergiorgio Gentile,Francesca Boccafoschi,Irene Carmagnola,Momchil Ninov,Ventsislava T. Georgieva,George Georgiev,Gianluca Ciardelli +7 more
TL;DR: The use of photoactive biocompatible conjugate polymer, such as CHFL, may lead to new therapeutic options in the field of bone/dental repair, exploiting the photoexcitation mechanism as a tool for biomineralization.
