Strongly bound excitons in anatase TiO2 single crystals and nanoparticles

Helmuth Berger, Majed Chergui, Marco Grioni, Arnaud Magrez, Simon Karl Moser, Edoardo Baldini, Gerald Auböck

Anatase TiO2 is among the most studied materials for light-energy conversion applications, but the nature of its fundamental charge excitations is still unknown. Yet it is crucial to establish whether light absorption creates uncorrelated electron-hole pai ...

Human fetal bone cells in delivery systems for bone engineering

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Sandra Jaccoud, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Nathalie Hirt-Burri

The aim of this study was to culture human fetal bone cells (dedicated cell banks of fetal bone derived from 14 week gestation femurs) within both hyaluronic acid gel and collagen foam, to compare the biocompatibility of both matrices as potential delivery ...

Chronic wound healing by fetal cell therapy may be explained by differential gene profiling observed in fetal versus old skin cells

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Nathalie Hirt-Burri

Engineering of fetal tissue has a high potential for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds of the skin in humans as these cells have high expansion capacity under simple culture conditions and one organ donation can produce Master Cell Banks which can ...

Consistency of fetal cell banks for research and clinical use

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate

Current restrictions for human cell-based therapies have been related to technological limitations with regards to cellular proliferation capacity and maintenance of differentiated phenotype for primary human cell culture. In our experience, we have seen t ...
