Hopes for Medical and Biological Engineering Cooperation

Recombinant proteins: hopes for tissue engineering.

Proteins constitute a group of key molecules with many applications in tissue engineering. Use of proteins provided from natural sources has several limitations which are overcome by the use of recombinant proteins. So far, the recombinant forms of many proteins with tissue engineering applications have been developed including structural proteins, growth factors and cytokines. This technology ...

Isolation and Evaluation of Collagen from the Fish (Thunnus Tonggol) Skin: A Biological Material for Medical Tissue Engineering

Introduction: Collagen bears many applications in pharmacy and medicine, health and cosmetic products as well as food industry. In recent years, much attention has been paid to separation of collagen from marine organisms arising from the fact that its use in the diet is not restricted and triggers no risk of contagious diseases as well as religious restrictions. Moreover, fish collagen is uniq...
