The use of keratin in biomedical applications.
Keratins are naturally derived proteins that can be fabricated into several biomaterials morphologies including films, sponges and hydrogels. As a physical matrix, keratin biomaterials have several advantages of both natural and synthetic materials that are useful in tissue engineering and controlled released applications. Like other naturally derived protein biomaterials, such as collagen, ker...
متن کاملSilk Materials Functionalized via Genetic Engineering for Biomedical Applications
The great mechanical properties, biocompatibility and biodegradability of silk-based materials make them applicable to the biomedical field. Genetic engineering enables the construction of synthetic equivalents of natural silks. Knowledge about the relationship between the structure and function of silk proteins enables the design of bioengineered silks that can serve as the foundation of new b...
متن کاملBiodegradable materials based on silk fibroin and keratin.
Wool and silk were dissolved and used for the preparation of blended films. Two systems are proposed: (1) blend films of silk fibroin and keratin aqueous solutions and (2) silk fibroin and keratin dissolved in formic acid. The FTIR spectra of pure films cast from aqueous solutions indicated that the keratin secondary structure mainly consists of alpha-helix and random coil conformations. The IR...
متن کامل2. Dextran-based materials for biomedical applications
Dextran is a bacterial polysaccharide consisting essentially of -1,6 linked glucopyranoside residues with a small percentage of -1,3 linked residues. In the first part of the chapter we discuss methodologies to chemically modify dextran. Taking into account our previous work, we focus our attention in the oxidation of dextran and in the transesterification of dextran by enzymatic means. We disc...
متن کاملGelatin-Based Materials in Ocular Tissue Engineering
Gelatin has been used for many years in pharmaceutical formulation, cell culture and tissue engineering on account of its excellent biocompatibility, ease of processing and availability at low cost. Over the last decade gelatin has been extensively evaluated for numerous ocular applications serving as cell-sheet carriers, bio-adhesives and bio-artificial grafts. These different applications nat...
