Journal ArticleDOI
Biomimetic proteolipid vesicles for targeting inflamed tissues
Roberto Molinaro,Claudia Corbo,Jonathan O. Martinez,Francesca Taraballi,Michael Evangelopoulos,Silvia Minardi,Iman K. Yazdi,Picheng Zhao,E. De Rosa,Michael B. Sherman,A. De Vita,N. E. Toledano Furman,Xin Wang,Alessandro Parodi,Ennio Tasciotti +14 more
TL;DR: A method is described that leverages the advantages of bottom-up and top-down strategies to incorporate proteins derived from the leukocyte plasma membrane into lipid nanoparticles that retained the versatility and physicochemical properties typical of liposomal formulations and enabled the selective and effective delivery of dexamethasone to inflamed tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the osteoinductive potential of a bio-inspired scaffold mimicking the osteogenic niche for bone augmentation
Silvia Minardi,Bruna Corradetti,Francesca Taraballi,Monica Sandri,Jeffrey L. Van Eps,Fernando J. Cabrera,Bradley K. Weiner,Anna Tampieri,Ennio Tasciotti +8 more
TL;DR: A high level of structural mimicry by the scaffold to the composition and structure of human osteogenic niche that translated to faster and more efficient osteoinduction in vivo is confirmed, suggesting such a biomaterial may have great utility in future clinical applications where bone regeneration is required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Red blood cells affect the margination of microparticles in synthetic microcapillaries and intravital microcirculation as a function of their size and shape.
Rosa D'Apolito,Giovanna Tomaiuolo,Francesca Taraballi,Silvia Minardi,Dickson K. Kirui,Xuewu Liu,Armando Cevenini,Roberto Palomba,Mauro Ferrari,Francesco Salvatore,Ennio Tasciotti,Stefano Guido +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that margination, which is almost absent when particles are suspended in a cell-free medium, is drastically enhanced by RBCs, with larger spherical/discoid particles being more effectively marginated both in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chondroitin Sulfate Immobilized on a Biomimetic Scaffold Modulates Inflammation While Driving Chondrogenesis
Bruna Corradetti,Bruna Corradetti,Francesca Taraballi,Silvia Minardi,Jeffrey L. Van Eps,Fernando J. Cabrera,Lewis Francis,Salvatore A. Gazze,Mauro Ferrari,Mauro Ferrari,Bradley K. Weiner,Ennio Tasciotti +11 more
TL;DR: A chondroitin sulfate‐based biomimetic scaffold is proposed that recapitulates the physicochemical features of the chondrogenic niche and retains MSC immunosuppressive potential in vitro, which correlated with a greater upregulation of genes involved in inflammatory cell apoptotic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanostructured Biomaterials for Bone Regeneration.
TL;DR: This review article addresses the various aspects of nano-biomaterials used in or being pursued for the purpose of promoting bone regeneration and aims to provide a conceptual framework to guide further exploration and inform future product development.
