Flexible Ceramics nanofibers for bone scaffolds
A new exciting study from our group shows how flexible ceramic nanofibers can be developed with different mechanical properties at the macro and nano scales, as well as with tailorable surface roughness. These scaffolds show to influence the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, thus holding potential for bone regenerative medicine applications

Scaffolds for Islets Vascularization
In a new study by Giulia Marchioli, former Ph.D. student of the Moroni Lab, we show how 3D printing can be used to created hybrid scaffolds that improve the recruitment of vessels in the site of implantation while preserving Islets functionality

Gradient Scaffolds
In a series of recent papers, Andrea Di Luca demonstrated how additive manufacturing can be used to design and fabricate scaffolds displaying a number of structural and physico-chemical gradients able to influence the differentiation of adult stem cells towards skeletal cells.
