Ovine mesenchymal stromal cells for osteochondral tissue engineering
(Elsevier, 2017-04)
Mesenchymal stem cell functionalization for enhanced therapeutic applications
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2019-02-14)
[Abstract] Culture expansion of MSCs has detrimental effects on various cell characteristics and attributes (e.g., phenotypic changes and senescence), which, in addition to inherent interdonor variability, negatively impact ...
Effect of balneotherapy in sulfurous water on an in vivo murine model of osteoarthritis
(Springer, 2019-11-01)
[Abstract] Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease that results in progressive cartilage destruction and subsequently joint dysfunction. Growing evidence indicates beneficial impact of balneological interventions ...
A Comparative Study of Doppler Ultrasound Against Temporal Artery Biopsy in the Diagnosis of Giant Cell Arteritis
(Elsevier, 2020-08-13)
[Abstract] Background. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a vasculitis that affects medium- and large-sized arteries. Temporal artery biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis. In view of the high demand for temporal biopsies, ...

The teaching of rheumatology at the university: the journey from teacher based to student-centered learning
(Elsevier, 2015-07)
[Abstract] In recent years, university education has undergone profound changes as a result of the creation of the European Space for Higher Education. It has gone from a teacher-centred model, based on the transmission ...
Alternative protocols to induce chondrogenic differentiation: transforming growth factor-β superfamily
(Springer, 2014-09-10)
[Abstract] Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an accepted candidate for cell-based therapy of multiple diseases. The interest in MSCs and their possible application in cell therapy have resulted in a better understanding ...
The experience of inflammatory bowel disease patients with healthcare: a survey with the IEXPAC instrument
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019-04)
[Abstract] To assess inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients' experience of chronic illness care and the relationship with demographic and healthcare-related characteristics.This cross-sectional survey used the Instrument ...
Ovine mesenchymal stromal cells: morphologic, phenotypic and functional characterization for osteochondral tissue engineering
(PLoS ONE, 2017-01-31)
[Abstract] Introduction. Knowledge of ovine mesenchymal stromal cells (oMSCs) is currently expanding. Tissue engineering combining scaffolding with oMSCs provides promising therapies for the treatment of osteochondral ...
