Advances on materials' research for tissue engineering (TE) applications have shown that animal cells respond directly to the material physical, chemical, mechanical, and electrical stimuli altering a variety of cell signaling cascades, which consequently result in phenotypic genotypic alterations. Gellan gum (GG) spongy-like hydrogels (SLH) with open microstructure, mechanical properties, performance promising results soft TE applications. Taking advantage intrinsic properties GG-SLH...
The ability of electroactive materials to influence and modulate cell behavior has been revealing great potential, especially in the field skeletal muscle tissue engineering. Herein, we propose PANi-GG spongy-like hydrogels as potential myoblast bioresponse. polyaniline (PANi) adds electroconductiviy gellan gum (GG) that hold a high resemblance extracellular matrix (ECM), is, water content, mechanical properties, microarchitecture, can be further tuned meet properties. For this purpose, were...
Abstract Vasculogenic mimicry process has generated great interest over the past decade. So far, however, there have been only a few matrices available that allow us to study in vitro . Here, we developed an innovative hydrogel platform with defined composition mimics structural architecture and biological functions of extracellular matrix for vasculogenic human melanoma cells (SK‐MEL‐28). We chemically immobilized IKVAV peptide on bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) fibers. BNC‐IKVAV was found...
Eumelanins are melanocyte-derived natural pigments with inherent electrical cues and outstanding physicochemical properties, which enhance the electroconductivity of synthetic polymeric scaffold, upon incorporation as nanoparticles. Electrospun nanofibrous meshes generated from such composite polymers great interest for muscle tissue engineering applications. In this study, we investigated feasibility fabricating scaffolds polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) incorporated eumelanin nanoparticles (EUNp)...
Nanocellulose (BNC) is a natural polymer produced by bacteria. Its structure has only glucose monomer, it various properties such as high water holding capacity, unique nanostructure, crystallinity and mechanical strength. Pure BNC or in combination with different components can be used for wide range of applications. Aloe vera medicinal plant polysaccharides its composition that potential tissue regeneration repair. The aim this study was to evaluate the effect incorporating (A. vera) into...
Abstract Currently, there is a great need for the development of three‐dimensional (3D) in vitro lung models. Particularly, production suitable 3D model pulmonary epithelium understanding pathophysiology diseases such as COVID‐19 must consider tissue architecture and presence, example, angiotensin‐converting enzyme‐2 (ACE‐2) cells. Different polymeric membranes are being used to support cell culturing, especially cells, however, still no information about culture these cells onto bacterial...
O estudo das interações entre células e seu substrato na engenharia de tecidos é grande importância para determinação propriedades biológicas dos implantes. A adesão ao influencia morfologia, proliferação viabilidade celular. Neste trabalho, foram avaliadas adesão, fibroblastos camundongo, linhagem L929, em suporte biopolimérico. Utilizaram-se membranas celulose bacteriana como a avaliação in vitro. As cultivadas sobre essas meio Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), suplementado com 10%...
