HIGHLIGHTS Marine collagen - spongin extract from specimens of the sponge Aplysina fulva. Spongin has physicochemical and morphological properties analogous to human collagen. is an alternative source for tissue engineering proposals.

Tissue engineering is defined as the designing and engineering of structures to rebuild and repair a body damaged tissue. Scaffolding Poly Hydroxy Butyrate Valraty (PHBV) has shown good biocompatibility and biodegradable properties. Nanofibers have improved the performance of biomaterials, and could be considered effective. One of the important methods for designing nanofiber scaffold is the el...

background autologous platelet concentrate has been used to improve the function and regeneration of injured tissues. tendinopathies are common in clinical practice, although long-term treatment is required. on the basis of lead time, we compared the effect of using platelet-rich plasma (prp) and platelet-rich fibrin (prf) in repairing rat achilles tendon. methods the effectiveness of using prp...

Collagen-Based Biomaterials Collagen-based biomaterials (CBBs) have been confirmed to prepare dressings and dermal substitutes, surgical sutures, plasma tissue-engineered scaffolds, etc. Article 2202042 by Xuechuan Wang, Huie Jiang, Xinhua Liu, co-workers, provides—in combination with the situation in China—thorough strides CBBs structures, cross-linking, forming technologies, real-world applic...

Abstract Large quantities of mussel byssus are generated annually as a co-product the mussel-processing industry. This fibrous material is rich source collagen, which when extracted has potential uses an alternative collagen for food applications. However, due complex structure material, extraction collagenous components using food-friendly strategies proved challenging to date. An enzyme-aided...

sulfated polysaccharides have shown promising effects on wound healing processes along with many other biological activities. the sulfated polysaccharides extracted from two algae species habitats in persian gulf were studied in vivo for their effects on collagen formation and epidermal regeneration. the polysaccharides were purified from aqueous extracts of p. tetrastromatica and p. boergeseni...

objective: biomaterial technology, when combined with emerging human induced pluripotent stem cell (hipsc) technology, provides a promising strategy for patient-specific tissue engineering. in this study, we have evaluated the physical effects of collagen scaffolds fabricated at various freezing temperatures on the behavior of hipsc-derived neural progenitors (hipsc-nps). in addition, the coati...

Abstract Collagen substrates in flexible electronics emerged as an alternative to the commonly used stretchable synthetic polymers such polyethylene terephthalate, polyether sulfone, polydimethylsiloxane etc., thanks their biocompatibility, flexibility and piezoelectric behaviour. Although researchers were successful manufacturing these flexible-electronics component, still, mismatch levels of ...
