Wound healing is a complex process involving an integrated response by many different cell types and growth factors in order to achieve rapid restoration of skin architecture function. The present study evaluated the applicability chitosan hydrogel (CH) as wound dressing. Scanning electron microscopy analysis was used characterize CH morphology. Fibroblast cells isolated from rat were assess cytotoxicity hydrogel. able promote adhesion proliferation. Cell viability studies showed that its...
Today, none of the wound dressings available on market is fully capable reproducing all features native skin. Herein, an asymmetric electrospun membrane was produced to mimic both layers It comprises a top dense layer (manufactured with polycaprolactone) that designed provide mechanical support and bottom porous (composed chitosan Aloe Vera) aimed improve bactericidal activity ultimately healing process. The results obtained revealed membranes displayed porosity, wettability, as well...
Blue: Biocompatible and biodegradable water-soluble dendrimers comprising ureas within the interior amino groups on periphery were synthesized in supercritical carbon dioxide (dendrimer of generation 1 shown picture). This novel class shows a pH-dependent intrinsic blue fluorescence at very low concentrations, which makes them potential polymeric fluorescent cell markers. Detailed facts importance to specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed,...
Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models of solid tumors are currently having a tremendous impact in the vitro screening candidate anti-tumoral therapies. These 3D provide more reliable results than those provided by standard 2D cultures. However, manufacturing techniques need to be further optimized order increase robustness these and data that can properly correlated with vivo situation. Therefore, present study parameters used for producing multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) liquid...
