A very small number of biomaterials investigated for bone regeneration was reported as able to prevent the oxidative stress. In this study beads based on alginate hydrogel and mesoporous glasses (MG) containing different amounts of cerium oxides (Ce3+/Ce4+) exhibiting antioxidant properties were investigated as a good approach to mimic the action o...

The objective of this study is to understand the effect of sustained release of vitamin C from β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffold on proliferation, viability and differentiation of human fetal osteoblast cells (hFOB). The influence of pH, drug concentration, and presence of polymer on the sustained release of vitamin C from polycaprolactone (P...

Microfiber yarns (MY) have been widely employed to construct tendon tissue grafts. However, suboptimal ultrastructure and inappropriate environments for cell interactions limit their clinical application. Herein, we designed a modified electrospinning device to coat poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) PLGA nanofibers onto polylactic acid (PLA) MY to gene...

A mixed nano-metal oxides of Cu-Ni-Co has been synthesized. Several characterization techniques (EDS, XRD, TEM, and SEM) have been used to provide insight into the nature and structure of the catalyst. The size of this mixed metal oxide is 22 nm. The SEM images indicate that the sample with spherical particles, of which spherical assembly is compri...

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a useful tool for the treatment of early gastric neoplasms, however post-ESD bleeding and perforation restrict its widespread application. In this study, we developed the chitosan/β-glycerophosphate/collagen (CS/GP/Col) thermo-sensitive systems to satisfy the requirements for the endoscopic treatment for ES...

Transition metals (TM) are essential microelements with various biological functions demanded in tissue regeneration applications. Little is known about therapeutic potential of TM within soft hydrogel biomaterials. The soluble divalent TM, such as Zn, Cu, Mn and Co, were stably incorporated into gelatin network during cryogelation. TM content in t...

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by M.tuberculosis (Mtb), has become a top killer among infectious diseases. Enhancing the ability of anti-TB drugs to kill intracellular Mtb in host cells remains a big challenge. Here, an innovative nano-system was developed to increase drug delivery and Mtb-killing efficacy in Mtb-infected macrophages. We employed mannos...

A series of germanium (Ge)-containing glasses were synthesized based on a starting glass composition of SiO2-ZnO-CaO-SrO-P2O5. Additions of GeO2 (6 and 12 mol%) were incorporated at the expense of SiO2, which retained the amorphous character, and each glass was processed to present similar particle size and surface area. Glass characterization usin...

The different lineage-specific biological properties of articular cartilage and subchondral bone present a great challenge in the construction of bi-lineage scaffolds for simultaneous osteochondral regeneration. To overcome this challenge, strontium incorporated calcium silicate (Sr-CS) ceramic was prepared for bi-lineage formation of scaffolds in ...
