Laminated multifunctional bacterial cellulose nanocomposite with a millefeuille topographic distribution of inorganic nanoparticles.
Bacterial nanocellulose exhibits valuable properties to act as a corneal bandage material in terms of conformability, suturability, durability and ease manipulation ophthalmological environments.
Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is usually produced as randomly-organized highly pure cellulose nanofibers films. Its high water-holding capacity, porosity, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility make it unique. Ordered structures are found in nature the properties appearing upon aligning polymers fibers inspire everyone to achieve aligned BNC (A-BNC) This work takes advantage of natural bacteria biosynthesis a reproducible straightforward approach. Bacteria confined statically incubated...
The biopolymer bacterial nanocellulose presents attractive mechanical and anti-adherent properties for innovative hernia repair solutions.
Integrating multimodal imaging modalities in PLGA protein carriers.
Abstract Limbal stem cells (LSCs) are already used in cell‐based treatments for ocular surface disorders. Clinical translation of LSCs‐based therapies critically depends on the successful delivery, survival, and retention these therapeutic to desired region. Such a major bottleneck could be overcome by using an appropriate carrier provide anchoring sites structural support LSC culture transplantation. Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is appealing, yet unexplored, candidate this application...
Carrier-assisted cell transplantation offers new strategies to improve the clinical outcomes of cellular therapies. Bacterial nanocellulose (BC) is an emerging biopolymer that might be great value in development animal-free, customizable, and temperature-stable novel carriers. Moreover, BC exhibits a myriad modification possibilities incorporate additional functionalities. Here, we have synthesized BC-titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanocomposites (BC/TiO2) evaluate compare suitability not only but...
Abstract Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is usually produced as films of randomly-organized highly pure cellulose nanofibers and its properties such high water-holding capacity porosity, tunable morphology, mechanical strength, biocompatibility make it a unique material. As result, BNC has attracted interest in the paper food industry, biotechnology, photonics optoelectronics. Ordered structures found nature, reed leaf, potential appearing upon aligning polymers fibers (piezoelectricity,...
Abstract Purpose To compare bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) patches produced by K.xylinus, against the amniotic membrane (AM) as a bandage material for ocular surface disorders. Based on previous structural characterizations of our BNC patches, and detailed cytocompatibility tests with human dermal fibroblasts; we hypothesise that is viable corneal Methods We tested mechanical resistance ( n = 6) AM 5) samples using progressively weighted sutures to tear samples. In order test stability, 6...
Due to its molecular structure, cellulose shows both hydrophilic and lipophilic behaviour. However, the relative importance of affinities extend which can be considered amphiphillic remains subject conflicting opposite views. We address this question by considering behaviour when exposed immiscible solvents, water apolar solvents (toluene or decane). have performed dynamics (MD) simulations competition between water/toluene water/decane cellulose. consider two surfaces (from different...
