Tuning of diclofenac release was achieved through incorporation into four different wound dressing materials. Proposed specific material-drug combinations could greatly improve efficiency in treatment types.
Limitations in wound management have prompted scientists to introduce bioprinting techniques for creating constructs that can address clinical problems. The approach is renowned its ability spatially control the three-dimensional (3D) placement of cells, molecules, and biomaterials. These features provide new possibilities enhance homology native skin improve functional outcomes. However, value, development hydrogel bioink with refined printability bioactive properties needed. In this study,...
Despite the extensive utilization of polysaccharide hydrogels in regenerative medicine, current fabrication methods fail to produce mechanically stable scaffolds using only hydrogels. The recently developed hybrid extrusion-based bioprinting process promises resolve these issues by facilitating simultaneous printing stiff thermoplastic polymers and softer at different temperatures. Using layer-by-layer deposition, advantageous can be produced integrating hydrogel matrix into a stiffer...
An electrochemical sensor for the detection of insulin in a single drop (50 μL) was developed based on concept molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP). The synthetic MIP receptors were assembled screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) by electropolymerization pyrrole (Py) presence (the protein template) using cyclic voltammetry. After electropolymerization, removed from formed polypyrrole (Ppy) matrix to create imprinting cavities subsequent analysis analyte test samples. surface...
This study presents the development and characterisation of two novel bioactive coatings deposited on TiAlV AISI 316LVM substrates. The were prepared using 3D printing electrospinning. 3D-printed coating consisted cellulose nanofibril suspension, alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), while CMC polyethylene oxide used to prepare electrospun coating. Both loaded with antibiotic clindamycin (CLIN), which is a bacteriostatic lincosamide known for its activity against streptococci,...
Abstract Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have recently attracted considerable attention, mainly due to their unique magnetic properties and biocompatibility. Although MNPs been extensively studied for biomedical applications, there are still very few studies on them as part of three-dimensional (3D)-printed scaffolds. Thus, this review aims show the potential modulate various 3D-printed 3D Printing is itself a contemporary method in biomedicine, owing its ability produce versatile scaffolds...
Chronic wounds not only lower the quality of patient's life significantly, but also present a huge financial burden for healthcare systems around world. Treatment larger often requires use more complex materials, which can ensure successful renewal or replacement damaged destroyed tissues. Despite range advanced wound dressings that facilitate healing, there are still no clinically used effective local pain management. Herein, alginate (ALG) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), two most...
Despite medical advances, skin-associated disorders continue to pose a unique challenge physicians worldwide. Skin cancer is one of the most common forms cancer, with more than million new cases reported each year. Currently, surgical excision its primary treatment; however, this can be impractical or even contradictory in certain situations. An interesting potential alternative could lie topical treatment solutions. The goal our study was develop novel multilayer nanofilms consisting...
Different ways are presented of modifying cellulosic non-woven substrates, which can serve as potential wound dressings with satisfactory antimicrobial and hydrophilic properties. For safe attachment silver particles without a measurable release from the used materials, sol–gel derived process was used. Alkaline oxygen plasma treatments were to improve hydrophilicity materials. Their efficiency determined by measuring contact angles water retention values. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...
