Quality assurance

The UDC International Doctoral School (EIDUDC) is subject to an Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS) which governs all UDC PhD programmes ratified by Royal Decree-Law 99/2011, in compliance with EU Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the EHEA. For more information, see documentation relating to the UDC International Doctoral School Internal Quality Assurance System (Regulations for the implementation and administration of the International Doctoral School SGIC for UDC PhD programmes ratified under RD 99/2011; International Doctoral School IQAS Manual; International Doctoral School IQASProcedures).

Guidelines for the monitoring and supervision of the student learning process and outcomes are established in the IQAS Procedures document. The bodies and mechanisms responsible for the coordination, evaluation and continuous improvement of the programme of study are as follows:

Academic Committee for PhD Programmes (CAPD): university body responsible for the academic coordination of PhD programmes and academic decisions regarding PhD degree and degree candidates. The CAPD establishes the guidelines and procedures for the programme coordinator and all individuals involved in the degree. A UDC coordinator is appointed for all UDC PhD programmes ratified under RD 99/2011, including inter-university programmes operated by partner universities.

EIDUDC Quality Assurance Committee (CGC): body responsible for formulating and monitoring the SGIC and PhD degree programmes. The CGC also fulfils an internal communication role within the EIDUDC in relation to its objectives, plans, programmes and responsibilities. An annual monitoring report is produced by the EIDUDC Permanent Committee, acting in the name of the CGC.

Learning outcomes

The International Doctoral School IQAS sets out the standards and indicators applied by Academic Committees in relation to UDC PhD programmes for the measurement and analysis of learning outcomes and academic standards.

These indicators include the number of doctoral theses defended, ‘International Doctorate’ certifications awarded, PhDs completed within the published time scale (3-4 years), PhDs awarded and PhDs abandoned, in addition to the average timescale for completion of the degree.

Quality assurance

To ensure that the title is developed in accordance with the verification report presented the center conducts an annual monitoring report in accordance with the procedures of the center IQAS and results. This report is reviewed by the ACSUG, external evaluation agency.

The outcome of this analysis will emerge corrective actions and improvement proposals that achieve the intended objectives and the improvement of the degree.

Committees

In order to ensure proper standards and quality at UDC, a specific academic management committee of the PhD programme will be established.

(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2162253123000690) Abstract: Senescence is a process characterized by a prolonged irreversible cell-cycle arrest. The accumulation of senescent cells in tissues is related to aging and to the development of age-related diseases. Recently, gene therapy has emerged as a powerful tool for treating age-associated diseases by the transference of specific genes into the target cell population. However, the high sensitivity of senescent cells significantly precludes their genetic modification via classical viral and non-viral systems. Niosomes are self-assembled non-viral nanocarriers that exhibit important advantages due to their elevated cytocompatibility, versatility, and cost-efficiency, arising as a new alternative for genetic modification of senescent cells. In this work, we explore for the first time the use of niosomes for genetic modification of senescent umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells. We report that niosome composition greatly affected transfection efficiency; those formulations prepared in medium with sucrose and containing cholesterol as helper lipid being the most suitable to transfect senescent cells. Moreover, resulting niosome formulations exhibited a superior transfection efficiency with a markedly less cytotoxicity than the commercial reagent Lipofectamine. These findings highlight the potentiality of niosomes as effective vectors for genetic modification of senescent cells, providing new tools for the prevention and/or treatment of age-related diseases.

Despite the tri-lineage multipotency, proliferative properties, and potent immunomodulatory effects of hMSCs, their clinical potential is hindered by donor variations, limiting their use in medical settings. To address this challenge, gene delivery technologies have emerged as a promising approach to modulate the phenotype and commitment of hMSCs towards specific cell lineages, thereby enhancing osteochondral repair strategies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current non-viral gene delivery approaches used to engineer MSCs, highlighting key factors such as the choice of nucleic acid or delivery vector, transfection strategies, and experimental parameters. Additionally, it outlines various protocols and methods for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of their therapeutic potential as a delivery system in osteochondral regenerative applications. In summary, this technical review offers a practical guide for optimizing non-viral systems in osteochondral regenerative approaches.

Gene transfer to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provides a powerful approach to treat these lesions by promoting their chondrogenic differentiation into the appropriate cartilage phenotype. Non-viral vectors constitute the safest gene transfer tools, as they avoid important concerns of viral systems including immunogenicity and insertional mutagenesis. However, non-viral gene transfer usually led to lower transfection efficiencies when compared with their viral counterparts. Biomaterial-guided gene delivery has emerged as a promising alternative to increase non-viral gene transfer efficiency by achieving sustained delivery of the candidate gene into cellular microenvironment. In the present study, we designed hyaluronic acid-based gene-activated cryogels (HACGs) encapsulating a novel formulation of non-viral vectors based on niosomes (P80PX) to promote MSCs in situ transfection. The developed HACG P80PX systems showed suitable physicochemical properties to promote MSCs in situ transfection with very low cytotoxicity. Incorporation of a plasmid encoding for the transcription factor SOX9 (psox9) into HACG P80PX systems led to an effective MSCs chondrogenic differentiation with reduced expression of fibrocartilage and hypertrophic markers. The capacity of the developed systems to restore cartilage extracellular matrix was further confirmed in an ex vivo model of chondral defect.
