Demand for skin replacements is rapidly increasing as burn and full-thickness wounds are difficult to repair due the low regeneration capability of innate tissues, well physical drawbacks associated with currently available substitutes. To address this need, an emerging 3D printing technique, melt-electrowriting (MEW) was used create novel bioactive scaffolds promote regeneration. Polycaprolactone (PCL), a bioresorbable biocompatible, synthetic polymer Food Drug Administration approval use...
To date, lack of functional hydrogel inks has limited 3D printing applications in tissue engineering. This study developed a series photocurable based on chitooligosaccharide (COS)-polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) for extrusion-based bone scaffolds. The scaffolds were prepared by aza-Michael addition COS and PEGDA followed photopolymerisation unreacted PEGDA. showed sufficient shear thinning properties required extrusion printing. printed exhibited excellent shape fidelity fine...
The most common mycotoxins found in rice are aflatoxins (AF), fumonisin (FB), ochratoxin (OTA), and deoxynivalenol (DON). Rice is particularly susceptible to mycotoxin contamination due its high starch content the fact that it often stored warm, humid conditions, which ideal for fungal growth. Mycotoxin causes health problems consumers, food safety, quality issues, economic losses. This systematic review meta-analysis aimed estimate prevalence concentration of from markets globally. A search...
Abstract Collagen is the most abundant protein found in humans and fundamental to tissue structure function. products used biomedical research are primarily derived from mammals, despite being mainly responsible for providing strength native connective tissue, collagen hydrogels have comparatively low mechanical properties without use of additional cross‐linking strategies. Alternative sources collagen, like fish emerging as key biomaterials engineering regenerative medicine (TERM). By...
The demand for eco-friendly and natural food packaging materials has sparked considerable interest in the research development of sustainable active materials. In this study, a chitosan-based film was developed using glycerol as plasticiser, chitooligosaccharide (COS) an additive, gallic acid cross-linking agent. physical, barrier, mechanical, morphological, thermal, functional properties fabricated films were measured. bio-composite showed significantly lower moisture content (from 24.28 to...
Sutures are commonly used in surgical procedures and have immense potential for direct drug delivery into the wound site. However, incorporating active pharmaceutical ingredients sutures has always been challenging as their mechanical strength deteriorates. This study proposes a new method to produce microspheres-embedded that offer adequate properties effective healing applications. The curcumin, bioactive compound found turmeric, model due its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-bacterial...
Abstract A surgical suture is a critical medical device used to close and secure body tissues following surgery, injury, or other procedures, but it often associated with the risk of site infections (SSIs). To mitigate this risk, drug‐eluting sutures antimicrobial anti‐inflammatory properties have been developed. However, incorporation active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) frequently compromises mechanical sutures. address these challenges, curcumin‐loaded microspheres were first produced...
Reconstituted keratin-hydroxyapatite (K-HA) composites have shown potential as nonload-bearing bone graft substitute material. This in vivo study investigated the regeneration response of keratin plus 40% HA composite materials comparison to collagen counterparts and an unfilled defect site. The implantation site was a noncritical size created long bones (tibia) sheep, with observations made at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 weeks postimplantation. Porous K-HA displayed excellent biocompatibility similar...
A rational design and facile synthesis approach were used for the construction of novel magnetically separating MONs with potential to efficiently adsorb polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water samples.
In the event of excessive damage to bone tissue, self-healing process alone is not sufficient restore integrity. Three-dimensional (3D) printing, as an advanced additive manufacturing technology, can create implantable scaffolds with accurate geometry and internal architecture, facilitating regeneration. This study aims develop optimise hydroxyapatite-polyethylene glycol diacrylate (HA-PEGDA) hydrogel inks for extrusion 3D printing tissue scaffolds. Different concentrations HA were mixed...
