Extended release of proteins following encapsulation in hydroxyapatite/chitosan composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications.
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
Highlights:
Biocompatible, mechanically robust scaffold with an appropriate stability for bone healing when used with fixation device.
Proteins can be covalently attached to the scaffold.
Proteins are released for an ...
Electrospinning of hydrogels for biomedical applications
(Springer Nature, 2018)
The field of biomedical applications for hydrogels requires the development of nanostructures with specific controlled diameter and mechanical properties. Nanofibers are ideally candidates for these advanced requirements, ...
Photopolymerization for filling porous ceramic matrix: improvement of mechanical properties and drug delivering behaviour.
(Wiley, 2019-04)
This work presents the photopolymerisation of composite scaffolds where a prefabricated ceramic scaffold was impregnated with poly(ethylene) glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) macromonomer solution. The PEGDMA solution penetrates ...
Smart hydrogels: therapeutic advancements in hydrogel technology for smart drug delivery applications.
(Wiley, 2015-12)
Hydrogels are a fusion of solid and liquid phases which closely mimic biological tissue. As such they have enormous potential for drug delivery systems as they are biocompatible and may be tailored to specific applications. ...
The preparation of nanocomposite scaffolds for use in bone tissue engineering.
(AJBAS, 2013)
Bone is the second most frequently transplanted tissue in humans. There are 2.2 million
bone graft procedures annually, which have several disadvantages such as: donor site morbidity, risk of
disease transmission and a ...
Synthesis and in vivo behaviour of PVP/CMC/Agar hydrogel membranes impregnated with silver nanoparticles for wound healing applications.
(ACS, 2018)
The field of wound healing has seen an increase in research activity in wound care and hydrogel-based dressings have been targeted as a solution for these applications. Hydrogels with silver nanoparticles can present many ...
