The ability to control the alignment and organization of cell populations has great potential for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. A variety of approaches such as nano …
The study of controlling the molecular self-assembly of aqueous soft matter is a fundamental scheme across multiple disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, and materials …
We have previously shown the suitability of aerogels as scaffolds for neuronal cells. Here, we report on the use of superelastic shape memory polyurethane aerogels (SSMPA) …
Previous works from our laboratory have firmly established that aerogels are a suitable substrate to elicit accelerated neurite extension. On non-conducting aerogels, in the …
The complex and highly tortuous microstructure of aerogels has led to the superior insulating capabilities that aerogels are known for. This open cell microstructure has also …

Attenuated Total Reflectance Infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy and texture measurements based on nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms are combined to characterize silica …
Cell behaviour is influenced by external factors including the physical properties of the substrate such as its surface topography and stiffness. Recent studies have demonstrated …
Medical implants are routinely tracked and monitored using different techniques, such as MRI, X-ray, and ultrasound. Due to the need for ionizing radiation, the two former methods …
Polyurea-crosslinked calcium alginate (X-Ca-Alg) aerogels were investigated under physiological relevant conditions and showed signs of degradation. Geometric and spectral …
