Gellan gum: a new biomaterial for cartilage tissue engineering applications.
Gellan gum is a polysaccharide manufactured by microbial fermentation of the Sphingomonas paucimobilis microorganism, being commonly used in the food and pharmaceutical industry. It can be dissolved in water, and when heated and mixed with mono or divalent cations, forms a gel upon lowering the temperature under mild conditions. In this work, gellan gum hydrogels were analyzed as cells supports...
متن کاملRapid purification of gold nanorods for biomedical applications
Small gold nanorods (GNRs) with longitudinal plasmon absorption in the near-infrared window (700-900 nm), are of great interest for in vivo optical applications (e.g., photothermal therapy) and for their high-payload-to-carrier ratio for drug delivery. Common synthetic strategies for GNR production afford spherical and cubical nanoparticles in addition to the desired GNRS. Thus, several methods...
متن کاملGellan Gum: Fermentative Production, Downstream Processing and Applications
The microbial exopolysaccharides are water-soluble polymers secreted by microorganisms during fermentation. The biopolymer gellan gum is a relatively recent addition to the family of microbial polysaccharides that is gaining much importance in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries due to its novel properties. It is commercially produced by C. P. Kelco in Japan and the USA. Further resear...
متن کاملSynthesis of Peculiar Structure of Hydroxyapatite Nanorods by Hydrothermal Condition for Biomedical Applications
In the present work, the effect of Ca(NO3)2.4H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 primary solutions as the beginning materials in synthesis of a calcium phosphate phase, was examined. So, we investigated the wet chemical reactions in solution at different temperatures by a hydrothermal condition aimed at hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO<su...
متن کاملReady-to-use protein G-conjugated gold nanorods for biosensing and biomedical applications
BACKGROUND Gold nanorods (GNRs) display unique capacity to absorb and scatter near infrared light, which arises from their peculiar composition of surface plasmon resonances. For this reason, GNRs have become an innovative material of great hope in nanomedicine, in particular for imaging and therapy of cancer, as well as in photonic sensing of biological agents and toxic compounds for e.g. biom...
