Abstract Gellan gum is a polysaccharide manufactured by microbial fermentation of the Sphingomonas paucimobilis microorganism, being commonly used in food and pharmaceutical industry. It can be dissolved water, when heated mixed with mono or divalent cations, forms gel upon lowering temperature under mild conditions. In this work, gellan hydrogels were analyzed as cells supports context cartilage regeneration. hydrogel discs characterized terms mechanical structural properties....
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) combined with cobalt ferrite (CFO) particles is one of the most common and effective polymeric magnetoelectric composites. Processing PVDF into its electroactive phase a mandatory condition for featuring behavior specific (post)processing may be needed to achieve this state, although crystallization favored at processing temperatures below 60 °C. Different techniques are used process PVDF-CFO nanocomposite structures microspheres high CFO dispersion,...
O tráfico de animais silvestres no Brasil é o terceiro maior mercado ilegal mundial, prejudicando a biodiversidade e saúde pública. IBAMA lidera fiscalização, CETAS trata os apreendidos. Veterinários identificam doenças promovem animal. A legislação precisa ser fortalecida, apesar dos desafios, continua apreendendo contrabandeados.
The development of three-dimensional environments to mimic the in vivo cellular response is a problem building disease models. This study aimed synthesize and validate support for culturing monoclonal plasma cells (mPCs) as model multiple myeloma. environment biomimetic microgel formed by alginate microspheres produced on microfluidic device whose surface has been functionalized layer-by-layer process with components bone marrow's extracellular matrix, which will interact mPC. As proof...
In order to tailor dielectric response and electrical conductivity, novel polymer blends based on poly(vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) different fillers composed by poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), PEDOT:PSS/ionic liquids (ILs): PEDOT:PSS/N-ethyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide ([C2mpyr][FSI]) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([C2mpyr][TFSI]), with PEDOT:PSS/IL contents (10, 20 40 wt%) were prepared through solvent casting. The morphological,...
Alginate hydrogels can be used to develop a three-dimensional environment in which various cell types grown. Cross-linking the alginate chains using reversible ionic bonds opens up great possibilities for encapsulation and subsequent release of cells or drugs. However, also has drawback that its structure is not very stable culture medium with cellular activity. This work explored stability microspheres functionalised by grafting specific biomolecules onto their surface form microgels...
The combination of poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with ionic liquids (ILs) is increasingly being studied for the development smart materials. Together functional response provided by IL, its incorporation into PVDF allows to nucleate specific electroactive phases polymer, depending on processing conditions. Thus, isothermal crystallization incorporating different contents magnetic liquid bis(1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium) tetrathiocyanatocobaltate ([Emim]2 [Co(SCN)4]) reported in this work....
Abstract The suitable simulation of a tissue’s native environment is one the elemental premises tissue engineering. Although various attempts have been made to induce human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) into an osteogenic pathway, they are still far from widespread clinical application. Most strategies mainly focus on providing specific type cue, replicating complexity bone microenvironment. By applying magnetoelectric microspheres composed poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and cobalt...
