Tissue engineering applications commonly encompass the use of three-dimensional (3D)
scaffolds to provide a suitable microenvironment for the incorporation of cells or growth …

Scaffolds are implants or injects, which are used to deliver cells, drugs, and genes into the
body. Different forms of polymeric scaffolds for cell/drug delivery are available:(1) a typical …

The metal gallium has enormous promise in fighting infections by disrupting bacterial iron
metabolism via a “Trojan horse” trick. It is well worth trying to study the potential of gallium …

Abstract 3D printing is recognized as a powerful tool to develop complex geometries for a

Probiotics exhibit many health benefits and a great potential for broad applications in
pharmaceutical fields, such as prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal tract diseases …

Abstract 3D bioprinting is usually implemented on flat surfaces, posing serious limitations in
the fabrication of multilayered curved constructs. 4D bioprinting, combining 3D bioprinting …

The present paper intends to overview a wide range of natural–origin polymers with special
focus on proteins and polysaccharides (the systems more inspired on the extracellular …

There has been an increasing interest in understanding how the mechanical properties of
the microenvironment influence stem cell fate. We describe studies of the proliferation and …

Alginate hydrogel beads are widely used as an encapsulation medium for biomedical,
bioprocessing, and pharmaceutical applications. The size and shape of the beads are often …

The aim of this work was to develop prediction models for shape and size of ca-alginate
macrobeads produced through extrusion–dripping method. The relationship between the …
