The patented invention relates to the micro-fabrication of imprinted polymeric structures with well-defined geometry for the fabrication of bioactive scaffolds. The scaffolds can be used both as substrates for the study and fabrication of functional tissue substitutes and as biosensors.
The present technology is a prosthetic elevation device that allows a fixation of the new tympanic membrane for the creation of a larger sounding (tympanic) box after tympanoplasty surgery, without damaging the facial nerve.
The proposed technology is a system to recognize accidental falls reliably. The procedure is based on accelerometer data, to which characteristic indexes of motor activities are applied. Low power consumption and simplicity enable its implementation in non-invasive wearable devices of daily use.
The present invention concerns the development of catheters designed for navigation and stabilization of endovascular instrumentation close to a target to be reached with extreme precision.
The present invention relates to a device for the electrical characterization of cellular constructs, featured by electrodes solidly integrated within the culture chamber of the constructs.
The present invention concerns the synthesis of small molecules, obtained by a totally innovative process, characterized by a stimulatory effect on the secretion of GLP-1, a gastrointestinal hormone.
The present invention consists of a self-contained bioreactor that allows monitoring of cell activities exposed to various physical, chemical, and mechanical stimuli, both under isobaric conditions and in the presence of controlled flows.
The invention relates to a sensorized high throughput bioreactor, that can be placed in series and/or parallel with similar systems, to expose cultures of the same or different cell groups to mechanical stimuli, such as hydrodynamic pressure and shear stress, [...]
The invention relates to a sensorized high throughput bioreactor, that can be placed in series and/or parallel with similar systems, to subject vascular conduits of different sizes to chemical-physical, mechanical and electromagnetic stimuli, simulating physiological and pathological conditions present within an [...]
The invention consists of a method to activate cyclic AMP (cAMP)-mediated intracellular response in renal cells by triggering the beta-3 subtype adrenergic receptor (BAR3).
