Nanomaterials have unique properties compared to their bulk counterparts. For this reason, nanotechnology has attracted a great deal of attention from the scientific community. Metal oxide nanomaterials like ZnO and CuO been used industrially for several purposes, including cosmetics, paints, plastics, textiles. A common feature that these nanoparticles exhibit is antimicrobial behavior against pathogenic bacteria. In report, we demonstrate activity ZnO, CuO, Fe(2)O(3) Gram-positive...
Electrospinning is a versatile technique used to create native tissue-like fibrous scaffolds. Recently, it has gained large amount of attention for generation bioactive dressing materials suitable treatment both chronic and acute wounds. In this Review, we focus on the latest advances made in application electrospun scaffolds wound healing. We first provide brief overview healing process electrospinning approaches. then discuss fabrication from natural synthetic polymers via effective...
Abstract There exists a technological need for advanced materials with improved properties emerging biomedical applications. Recent developments in macroporous have demonstrated their applicability as indispensable tools research. Cryogels, which are 3D structure, produced result of controlled freezing during polymerization highly interconnected polymer network. Cryogels’ interest lies ability to address some the limitations hydrogel analogues. In this review, and cryogel basic concepts...
Elastin‐like polypeptides (ELPs) are promising for biomedical applications due to their unique thermoresponsive and elastic properties. ELP‐based hydrogels have been produced through chemical enzymatic crosslinking or photocrosslinking of modified ELPs. Herein, a photocrosslinked ELP gel using only canonical amino acids is presented. The inclusion thiols from pair cysteine residues in the sequence allows disulfide bond formation upon exposure UV light, leading highly hydrogel. physical...
We report the development of a nanoclay-rich bioactive hydrogel for bone regeneration therapy applications.
Muscle‐based biohybrid actuators have generated significant interest as the future of biorobotics but so far they move without having much control over their actuation behavior. Integration microelectrodes into backbone these systems may enable guidance during motion and allow precise with specific activation patterns. Here, this challenge is addressed by developing aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) forest microelectrode arrays incorporating them scaffolds for cell stimulation. Aligned CNTs are...
Delivery of drugs with controlled temporal profiles is essential for wound treatment and regenerative medicine applications. For example, bacterial infection a key challenge in the chronic deep wounds. Current strategies are based on systemic administration high doses antibiotics, which result side effects drug resistance. On-demand delivery profile highly desirable. Here, we have developed thermally controllable, antibiotic-releasing nanofibrous sheets. Poly(glycerol sebacate)-...
Polymeric scaffolds such as hydrogels can be engineered to restore, maintain, or improve impaired tissues and organs. However, most require surgical implantation that cause several complications infection damage adjacent tissues. Therefore, developing minimally invasive strategies is of critical importance for these purposes. Herein, we developed injectable cryogels made out hyaluronic acid gelatin tissue-engineering applications. The physicochemical properties combined with the intrinsic...
Microneedle arrays (MNAs) have been used for decades to deliver drugs transdermally and avoid the obstacles of other delivery routes. Hydrogels are another popular method delivering therapeutics because they provide tunable, controlled release their encapsulated payload. However, hydrogels not strong or stiff, cannot be formed into constructs that penetrate skin. Accordingly, it has so far impossible combine transdermal route provided by MNAs with therapeutic encapsulation potential...
For several biomedical applications, it is essential to develop novel bioactive materials. Such biomaterials could potentially improve wound healing, prevent infections, or be used in immunoengineering. example, materials that reduce oxidative stress without relying on antibiotics and other drugs beneficial. Hydrogel-based biomaterials, especially those derived from natural polymers, have been regarded as one of the most promising scaffolds for research. These multifunctional can exhibit...
