  • Publication number: 20230310159
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a porous hierarchical scaffold characterized by internal pores organized according to a hierarchical structure, for the regeneration, replacement and/or simulation of a bone tissue, in particular of the trabecular and/or cortical bone tissue. The present invention further relates to the porous hierarchical scaffold obtainable by such process and to the uses thereof. The invention further relates to the use of a sacrificial hierarchical scaffold for the preparation of such porous hierarchical scaffold.

  • Publication number: 20210244677
    Abstract: The present invention relates to electro spun fibers for a local release in the central nervous system of an anti-inflammatory and a promyelinating agent over a defined time-window, in order to limit secondary neurodegeneration triggered by the glutamate release and supported by on-going inflammation. The combined treatment aimed to reduce inflammation and improve remyelination in the very early stage of the pathology improving the chronic clinical outcome of the lesion. In particular the present invention relates to electrospunpolymeric fibers, wherein said fibers are loaded with 3,3,5-Triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) and Ibuprofen.
