Production and Characterization of Poly (Lactic Acid)/Nanostructured Carboapatite for 3D Printing of Bioactive Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering.

Biocompatible scaffolds are porous matrices that are bone substitutes with great potential in tissue regeneration. For this, these scaffolds need to have bioactivity and biodegradability. From this perspective, 3D printing presents itself as one of the techniques with the greatest potential for scaffold manufacturing with porosity and established structure, based on 3D digital modeling.

The oil-resin of the tropical rainforest tree Copaifera langsdorffii reduces cell viability, changes cell morphology and induces cell death in human endometriotic stromal cultures.

Objectives: The hormonal treatment for endometriosis frequently fails to completely eradicate endometriotic implants. A new therapeutic treatment is needed. This study investigates the in-vitro effect of Copaifera langsdorffii oil-resin on human eutopic and ectopic endometrium stromal cell cultures (EuESCs and EctESCs).
