Multi-layer cell constructs produced in vitro are an innovative treatment option to support the growing demand for therapy in regenerative medicine. Our research introduces a novel construct integrating organ-derived decellularised extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogels and 3D-printed biodegradable polymer …

Melt electrowriting (MEW) enables precise scaffold fabrication for biomedical applications. With a limited number of processable materials with short and tunable degradation times, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) present an interesting option. Here, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and …

Nowadays, Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) are developing as innovative multifunctional tools to maximize urban ecosystem services such as storm water preservation, reduction of runoff and flood protection, groundwater pollution prevention, biodiversity enhancement, and microclimate control. Gdańsk is one …

PURPOSE: In 2018, the SARCUS working group published a first article on the standardization of the use of ultrasound to assess muscle. Recommendations were made for patient positioning, system settings and components to be measured. Also, shortcomings in knowledge were mentioned. An important issue that …

Genetic assays are very useful tools for clinical diagnostics and therapeutics. This thesis addresses the development of electrochemical microRNA genosensor, envisioned to be used as a clinical diagnostic tool. Dysregulation of numerous microRNAs have been reported to be closely associated to diseases. …
