Abstract
The experimental work of the bachelor thesis was focused on the application of the knowledge acquired in Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Biomaterials; which are branches within Biomedical Engineering. Particularly, it is concentrated on the study of rare skin diseases.
The project is divided in two experimental studies. The first is centered in the study of cytotoxic effects of UV radiation, specifically UV type B (UVB), over a photosensitive skin disorder named Xeroderma Pigmentosum.
The second experimental study goes a step further, in order to achieve an adhesion assay over different biomaterials to evaluate cell growth and cell attachment to these different matrices.
