INTRODUCTION Within the last decades, collagen types I and III have been established as a sufficient biomaterial for GBR and GTR procedures. They might also be an adequate matrix for soft tissue augmentations. However, collagen materials differ significantly regarding resorption time, biodegradation pattern and the invasion of inflammatory cells.The aim of the present study was to compare the b...

BACKGROUND Proteases play an important role in virulence of many human, plant and insect pathogens. The proteinaceous protease inhibitors of plant origin have been reported widely from many plant species. The inhibitors may potentially be used for multiple therapeutic applications in viral, bacterial, fungal diseases and physiological disorders. In traditional Indian medicine system, Cassia tor...

Background: Plastination is a technique of long-term preservation of the natural tissues without the typical problems related to wet specimens. Plastinated specimens are durable, dry, and flexible. In this process, the water and fat in biological tissues are substituted by a curable polymeric resin, i.e., subsequently cured. In this study, a new unsaturated polyester resin (P96) was synthesized...

Contrary to many other illness, for patients with end-stage organ failure there is a lifesaving yet inaccessible cure—transplant. The median survival time of adult recipients can be three fourfold longer as compared on the waiting list.1 Despite success transplantation, 730 000 annual deaths attributable disease in United States, less than 40 receive an because serious donor shortage crisis.2, ...

Free radicals are well documented for playing a dual role in our body as both deleterious and beneficial species. In low/mode...

introduction: proteins are vital substances for health since they provide nitrogen, amino acids and the energy required for normal body performance. however, the applications of proteins are limited due to their certain properties, such as their low solubility. the enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins is an extensively used approach to produce bioactive peptides and promote the chemical, functional...
