Hydroxyapatite is one of the materials of choice for tissue engineering bone scaffolds manufacturing. Vat photopolymerization (VPP) is a promising Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology capable of producing scaffolds with high resolution micro-architecture and complex shapes. However, mechanical reliability of ceramic scaffolds can be achieved if a high fidelity printing process is obtained and if knowledge of the intrinsic mechanical properties of the constituent material is available.

- - Cor pulmonale is a heart condition affecting the right ventricle due to lung diseases or issues with pulmonary circulation, which can be classified as acute or chronic based on how quickly it develops.
- - Echocardiography is crucial for diagnosing and managing cor pulmonale due to its non-invasive nature, and it helps monitor right ventricular function over time, assessing patient stability and treatment effectiveness.
- - The review discusses current echocardiographic evaluation standards for both acute and chronic cor pulmonale and highlights findings related to common underlying conditions causing the disease.
Platinum-based chemotherapy is the therapy of choice for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Acquired resistance to platinum (PT) is a frequent event that leads to disease progression and predicts poor prognosis. To understand possible mechanisms underlying acquired PT-resistance, we have recently generated and characterized three PT-resistant isogenic EOC cell lines.
