New developments in vertebroplasty materials
(Asociación de Químicos e Ingenieros del Instituto Químico de Sarrià, 2018-07)
Increasing life expectancy is leading to an increase in age-related diseases, like osteoporosis, which often involve the breakdown of bone. One of the main problems related with such disease is the ...
Zwitterionic 3D-printed non-immunogenic stealth microrobots
(Wiley, 2020-08)
Microrobots offer transformative solutions for non-invasive medical interventions due to their small size and untethered operation inside the human body. However, they must face the immune system as a ...
Designing Polyelectrolyte Microneedles Based on Borylated Poly(β-aminoester) Polymers To Enhance Transdermal pH-Controlled Delivery of Nucleic Acids
(American Chemical Society, 2024-06-24)
The use of transdermal delivery for nucleic acidadministration is an interesting approach to overcoming limitations ofsystemic administration routes, such as first-pass effects, the painfulneedle ...
Extracellular vesicles and their current role in cancer immunotherapy
(MDPI, 2021-05-10)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are natural particles formed by the lipid bilayer and released from almost all cell types to the extracellular environment both under physiological conditions and in presence ...
A new four-point probe design to measure conductivity in polymeric thin films
(Asociación de Químicos e Ingenieros del Instituto Químico de Sarrià, 2013-07)
En el desarrollo de nuevas aplicaciones de polímeros conductores, la medida de forma precisa de la conductividad es todavía un reto, especialmente para muestras muy delgadas como los obtenidos por CVD. ...
Pilas de combustible de membrana polimérica
(Asociación de Químicos e Ingenieros del Instituto Químico de Sarrià, 2011-07)
En este trabajo revisamos brevemente las pilas de combustible poliméricas (PEM) basadas en membranas de intercambio protónico y que constituyen la tecnología idónea de pilas de combustible de baja ...

(Wiley, 2023-10-05)
Flexible capacitive sensors based on silicone rubber have gained importance inboth academic and industrial fields due to their advantages, including lowpower consumption and high stability to temperature, ...
Electrostatic Coating of Viral Particles for Gene Delivery Applications in Muscular Dystrophies: Influence of Size on Stability and Antibody Protection
(IOS Press, 2021-09-14)
Background:Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is one of the most common muscular dystrophies, caused by mutated forms of the dystrophin gene. Currently, the only treatment available is symptoms management. ...
Biomineralization in Three-Dimensional Scaffolds Based on Bacterial Nanocellulose for Bone Tissue Engineering: Feature Characterization and Stem Cell Differentiation
(MDPI, 2023-05)
Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) has a negative surface charge in physiological environments, which allows the adsorption of calcium ions to initiate the nucleation of different calcium phosphate phases. ...
Nanomedicine in non-small cell lung cancer: from conventional treatments to immunotherapy
(MDPI, 2020-06)
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the most common cause of cancer-related mortality. The heterogeneous nature of this disease hinders its diagnosis and treatment, requiring continuous advances ...
