Biotech-Educated Platelets: Beyond Tissue Regeneration 2.0.

The increasing discoveries regarding the biology and functions of platelets in the last decade undoubtedly show that these cells are one of the most biotechnological human cells. This review summarizes new advances in platelet biology, functions, and new concepts of biotech-educated platelets that connect advanced biomimetic science to platelet-based additive manufacturing for tissue regeneration. As highly responsive and secretory cells, platelets could be explored to develop solutions that alter injured microenvironments through platelet-based synthetic biomaterials with instructive extracellular cues for morphogenesis in tissue engineering beyond tissue regeneration 2.

[Effect of an urodynamic study on women with urinary incontinence].

Objective: The purpose was to evaluate tolerance of patients with urinary incontinence undergoing an urodynamic study.

Methods: Forty nine patients with lower urinary tract symptoms submitted to an urodynamic study were evaluated..
