Abstract:

Biopolymers are polymers produced by living organisms. A more broad classification would embrace also those polymers synthesized from renewable sources which are able to display biodegradability. The demand of biopolymers has been continuously growing along these last decades. The main reason for such increasing interest is their sustainability; the renewable origin of biopolymers makes them inexhaustible in contrast with synthetic polymers produced from finite fossil sources. Biodegradability is a second advantage; due to the presence in the nature of enzymes able to degrade biopolymers under

Abstract:

The heart does not regenerate new functional tissue when myocardium dies following coronary artery occlusion, or is defective. Ventricular restoration involves excising the infarct and replacing it with a cardiac patch to restore the heart to a more efficient condition.

A basic design was developed that is composed of 3D microfibrous mats that house mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from umbilical cord matrix (Wharton&rsquo<br>s Jelly) aligned parallel to each other, and biodegradable macroporous

Abstract:

Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) [PLGA] is the most exploited biodegradable and biocompatible material in the pharmaceutical field for the preparation of long- acting parenteral formulations, despite there are limitations related to the PLGA itself or to the final product to face with. These mainly include the limited ability in encapsulating hydrophilic compounds, the physical and chemical instabilities in aqueous media, the detrimental effect of the sterilization methods and the drop off in the micro-environmental pH upon degradation. Hence, there is the need to find new strategies for their overc
