dc.description.abstract | La creciente incidencia de enfermedades neurodegenerativas representa un desafío para el sistema sanitario, destacando la necesidad urgente de terapias capaces de atravesar la barrera hematoencefálica (BHE). Los modelos in vitro actuales no logran replicar adecuadamente la complejidad de la BHE, lo que conduce a altas tasas de fracaso en el desarrollo de fármacos. Aunque los modelos dinámicos in vitro (DIV)-BHE ofrecen numerosas ventajas, su desarrollo comercial sigue siendo limitado. Esta tesis aborda retos clave para la implementación de membranas de fibra hueca en modelos DIV-BHE, centrándose en: i) un análisis crítico de sus limitaciones, ii) la inducción de la diferenciación celular mediante nanomateriales basados en grafeno, iii) la transición hacia estructuras 3D innovadoras a través de la síntesis de fibras huecas funcionalizadas de doble capa, y iv) el desarrollo de cocultivos dinámicos en biorreactores de perfusión. Estos avances abren nuevas vías hacia la validación de modelos DIV-BHE más fiables y eficientes. | es_ES |
dc.description.abstract | The rising incidence of neurodegenerative diseases presents a major challenge to healthcare, highlighting the urgent need for therapies that can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Current in vitro models fail to replicate the BBB complexity, leading to high failure rates in drug development. Despite dynamic in vitro (DIV)-BBB models show great potential, their commercial development remains limited. This thesis addresses key challenges towards the implementation of hollow fiber (HF) membranes in DIV-BBB models, by focusing on: i) a SWOT analysis of their limitations, ii) the induction of cell differentiation using graphene-based nanomaterials (GBNs), iii) the transition to innovative 3D structures through the synthesis of double-layered functionalized HFs, and iv) the development of dynamic cocultures in perfusion bioreactors. These advances pave the way for more reliable and efficient DIV-BBB models. | es_ES |
dc.description.sponsorship | This thesis was performed within the Environmental Technologies and Bioprocesses (ETB) Research Group, part of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, under the framework of the Doctoral Program in Chemical Engineering, Energy and Processes (BOE no. 16, January 19, 2015. RUCT: 5601000) at the University of Cantabria (UC). This research was financially supported by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 through the project PCI2018-092929, by the Marqués de Valdecilla Health Research Institute (IDIVAL) through the Innovation Project Support Program INNVAL17/20, and by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 via the grant PID2019-105827RB-I00. Additional funding was provided by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR via grants PDC2022-133704-I00 and TED2021-129844B-I00. The author gratefully acknowledges the predoctoral research grant “Concepción Arenal” PREUC-19-21 from the University of Cantabria, as well as the FPU19/02324 grant, funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and the “ESF Investing in your future”, which supported the research contract from 2020 to 2024. The author is also thankful for the opportunity to develop two international research stays. The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) awarded a scientific exchange grant (number 10016), enabling a three-month research stay at the Center for Health & Bioresources, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH in Vienna (Austria), from January to April 2023, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Winfried Neuhaus. A second research stay was conducted at the Institute on Membrane Technology, National Research Council of Italy (ITM-CNR) in Rende (Italy) from September to December 2023, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Loredana De Bartolo, with financial support from MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and the “ESF Investing in your future” (grant EST23/00678).
This work also greatly benefited from collaborations with various institutions, including the Carbon Science and Technology Institute (INCAR-CSIC, Spain) and the TECNALIA Research & Innovation (Donostia, Spain). Moreover, extensive cellular experimental work was developed in the facilities of the Cellular Biology of the Nucleus Research Group of the Marqués de Valdecilla Health Research Institute (IDIVAL) at the Faculty of Medicine (University of Cantabria). | es_ES |
