Im Vergleich zu anderen Studien lag das Ziel auf der simultanen Gelierung und Mineralisation von Seidenfibroin-Scaffolds durch Einlegen von gefrorenen Seidenfibroin Monolithen in anges{\"a}uerte Calciumphophosphat L{\"o}sung, was zu einer Pr{\"a}zipitation von Monocalciumphosphat in der Seidenfibroinmatrix f{\"u}hrt.

In combination with a mineralization with different calcium phosphate phases, it can also be applied as material for bone regeneration. Here, we present a study which was performed to produce mineralized silk fibroin scaffolds with controlled macroporosity. In contrast to former studies, our approach focused on a simultaneous gelation and mineralization of silk fibroin by immersion of frozen silk fibroin monoliths in acidic calcium phosphate solutions. This was achieved by thawing frozen silk fibroin monoliths in acidic calcium phosphate solution, leading to the precipitation of monocalcium phosphate within the silk fibroin matrix. In the second approach, a conversion of incorporated -tricalcium phosphate particles into brushite was successfully achieved. Furthermore, a controlled cryostructuring process of silk fibroin scaffolds was carried out leading to the formation of parallel-oriented pores with diameters of 30-50 mu m.}, language = {en} } @article{AscheidBaumannFunkeetal.2023, author = {Ascheid, David and Baumann, Magdalena and Funke, Caroline and Volz, Julia and Pinnecker, J{\"u}rgen and Friedrich, Mike and H{\"o}hn, Marie and Nandigama, Rajender and Erg{\"u}n, S{\"u}leyman and Nieswandt, Bernhard and Heinze, Katrin G. and Henke, Erik}, title = {Image-based modeling of vascular organization to evaluate anti-angiogenic therapy}, series = {Biology Direct}, volume = {18}, journal = {Biology Direct}, doi = {10.1186/s13062-023-00365-x}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-357242}, year = {2023}, abstract = {In tumor therapy anti-angiogenic approaches have the potential to increase the efficacy of a wide variety of subsequently or co-administered agents, possibly by improving or normalizing the defective tumor vasculature. Successful implementation of the concept of vascular normalization under anti-angiogenic therapy, however, mandates a detailed understanding of key characteristics and a respective scoring metric that defines an improved vasculature and thus a successful attempt. Here, we show that beyond commonly used parameters such as vessel patency and maturation, anti-angiogenic approaches largely benefit if the complex vascular network with its vessel interconnections is both qualitatively and quantitatively assessed. To gain such deeper insight the organization of vascular networks, we introduce a multi-parametric evaluation of high-resolution angiographic images based on light-sheet fluorescence microscopy images of tumors. We first could pinpoint key correlations between vessel length, straightness and diameter to describe the regular, functional and organized structure observed under physiological conditions. We found that vascular networks from experimental tumors diverted from those in healthy organs, demonstrating the dysfunctionality of the tumor vasculature not only on the level of the individual vessel but also in terms of inadequate organization into larger structures. These parameters proofed effective in scoring the degree of disorganization in different tumor entities, and more importantly in grading a potential reversal under treatment with therapeutic agents. The presented vascular network analysis will support vascular normalization assessment and future optimization of anti-angiogenic therapy.}, language = {en} }
