Natural Biomaterials for Veterinary Regenerative Therapy

Natural and synthetic biomaterials play an important role in the treatment of different diseases. Current research is trying to obtain different biomaterials with optimized characteristics. Mesenchymal stem cells with biomaterial scaffolds can provide a promising strategy for tissue engineering and cellular delivery. Because these cells are key elements of cell therapy of various diseases, eval...

Immunomodulatory biomaterials and regenerative immunology

Organ damage and loss remain important clinical problems, where the current gold standard is transplantation. One of the main problems with transplants, even when they are successful, is the need to use immuno suppressants (IS) for preventing acute rejection. The use of IS entails several side effects such as increased risk of tumor formation, higher susceptibility to infections and IS-related ...
