Vitamin C (VC) is an essential supplement that plays a vital role in cellular processes and functions has been applied for therapeutic purposes many years. The beneficial effects of VC on peripheral nerve regeneration have gained lots attention. In this study, electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL)/polyglycerol sebacate (PGS) fibers incorporated with different concentrations (5, 10, 15 wt.%) were d...

Diethyl sebacate is used in topical medicaments in United States and Japan. We described a case of allergic contact dermatitis from diethyl sebacate in a topical antimycotic medicament. Allergic reaction to diethyl sebacate is likely more common because our group has found three of eight sensitized cases. We believe that an investigation regarding the sensitized frequency to diethyl sebacate wo...

CMS, core-multishell; NR, Nile red; MTX, methotrexate; mPEG, methoxypoly(ethylene glycol); PG, polyglycerol; dPG, dendritic polyglycerol; PEG, poly(ethylene glycol); CMS-mPEG, coremultishell nanocarrier with a mPEG outer shell; EPR, enhanced permeation and retention; PG[G1], polyglycerol dendron of generation 1; PG[G2], polyglycerol dendron of generation 2; CMS-G1, core-multishell nanocarrier w...

Electroconductive scaffolds can be a promising approach to repair conductive tissues when natural healing fails. Recently, nerve tissue engineering constructs have been widely investigated due the challenges in creating structure with optimized physiochemical and mechanical properties close native tissue. The goal of current study was fabricate graphene-containing polycaprolactone/gelatin/polyp...

The development of biomaterials for cardiac tissue engineering (CTE) is challenging, primarily owing to the requirement of achieving a surface with favourable characteristics that enhances cell attachment and maturation. The biomaterial surface plays a crucial role as it forms the interface between the scaffold (or cardiac patch) and the cells. In the field of CTE, synthetic polymers (polyglyce...

Herein we report the synthesis of water-soluble polyglycerol-dendronized perylenediimides with a single reactive group that undergoes high-yielding click reactions. Single-molecule studies and target-specific biolabeling are reported, including the highly specific labeling of proteins on the surface of living bacterial and mammalian cells.

The estrogenic activity of phthalate esters for dental use as plasticizers was concerned. To study the feasibility of candidate chemicals for phthalate tissue conditioners, three candidate plasticizers, di-n-butyl sebacate, acetyl tributyl citrate and tri-n-butyl phosphate together with conventional plasticizers were examined for estrogenic activity and cytotoxicity using three estrogenicity as...
