Abstract: The present invention refers to a composition comprising a solution which in turn comprises an amino acidic chain gelatin polymer derived from natural sources of cold-adapted marine species, at a concentration from 1% to 20% (w/v), which optionally further comprises a polymerizing initiator such as a photoinitiator, and is chemically functionalized to become reactive to polymerization or crosslinking in presence of free radicals. This composition is especially useful for 3D printing, extrusion systems (additive fabrication), spray systems, casting, micro- and nano fibers fabrication systems (electrospinning, solution blow spinning) or microfluidics.

Abstract: The present invention offers a solution to the lack of an effective alternative method to those already known to treat angiogenesis. In particular, the present invention is the first to show that a substantially pure population of exosomes derived from MenSCs have capacity to reduce tumor angiogenesis in diseases such as prostate cancer, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. In this sense, the present invention shows that a substantially pure population of MenSCs-derived exosomes reduce the endogenous levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells and the expression of pro-angiogenic factors such as VEGF, NF-KB, FGF and HIF? in the treated tumors. Overall, the invention offers a promising alternative method to treat angiogenesis. Since it is principally composed of exosomes produced by the Stem cells present in menstrual fluid, the invention provides an ease access and repeated sampling in a non-invasive manner. Such attributes allow the rapid production of the treatment.

Abstract: Devices are for assessing the migration response in the presence of a stable encapsulated gradient of a factor or factor combination, and quantifying the adherence response inside micro-channels in the presence of different factors. A platform is for obtaining information relating to migration score or the quantification of adhered cells through use of the devices, and it allows this information to be used to assess therapeutic potential. A method quantifies the cells migration response and the cell adherence response.

Abstract: The present invention overcomes all the above drawbacks and provides a versatile method for the fabrication of multilayer hollow tubes that uses a layer-by-layer rod dipping approach using different biomaterials. The device enables fine control over fabrication parameters, such as ascending/descending speeds, rod rotational velocity, and crosslinking or polymerization time. All these technologies allows the generation of more complex multilayer hollow tubes such as vessel-like structures, urethral grafting, prostate grafting and the like.
