An advanced numerical treatment of EM absorption in human tissue
2020
The numerical computation of local electromagnetic absorption at points within the human tissue is proposed by avoiding the mesh generation in the problem domain. Recently, meshless numerical methods have been introduced as an alter- native computational approach to mesh based methods. This is an important feature to generate competitive procedure able to provide final evaluations for large data amounts in real time. In this paper the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method is considered to compute the electromagnetic absorption. First experiments are performed in two dimension at single frequencies by considering incident TM plane wave on 2D cylinder simulating a simplified model of human t…
In vitro and in vivo investigations of osteogenic differentiation ability of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSC…
2020
Thanks to the use of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), smart biomaterials and active biomolecules, Regenerative Medicine (RM) and Bone Tissue Engineering (BTE) can restore structure and function of injured tissues. Among the different sources of hMSCs, the oro-facial hMSCs have promising in vitro and in vivo regeneration potential; in particular, dental pulp and gingiva are valuable sources of autologous hMSCs. The aim of this PhD thesis is testing the in vitro and in vivo bone regeneration ability of hMSCs isolated from dental pulp and inflamed gingiva of periodontally-compromised teeth, up to now considered biological waste tissues and discarded during surgical procedures, on two comm…
