Multifunctional chondroitin sulphate for cartilage tissue-biomaterial integration.
A biologically active, high-strength tissue adhesive is needed for numerous medical applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Integration of biomaterials or implants with surrounding native tissue is crucial for both immediate functionality and long-term performance of the tissue. Here, we use the biopolymer chondroitin sulphate (CS), one of the major components of cartilage...
متن کاملEfficacy of a new multifunctional surfactant-based biomaterial dressing with 1% silver sulphadiazine in chronic wounds.
Chronic wounds represent a large and growing segment of health care and add considerably to human suffering and economic burden as populations age. More effective materials, especially those promoting ease of use and economy, are needed to treat this increasing number of patients. A case series conducted at a European outpatient tertiary wound centre used a novel surfactant-based biomaterial dr...
متن کاملMultifunctional Delivery Systems for Cancer Gene Therapy
This chapter examines key concepts with respect to cancer gene therapy and the cur‐ rent issues with respect to non-viral delivery. The biological and molecular barriers that need to be overcome before effective non-viral delivery systems can be appropri‐ ately designed for oncology applications are highlighted and ways to overcome these are discussed. Strategies developed to evade the immune r...
متن کاملMultifunctional Structure-Power for Electric Unmanned Systems
We provide an overview of recent US Naval Research Laboratory research and development on multifunctional structure-power materials/components for enhancing the performance of unmanned systems through reduction of parasitic (unifunctional) structure mass/volume. Design rules & tools for composite multifunctional materials and three multifunctional structure-power concepts: structure-battery, au...
متن کاملMultifunctional actuation systems responding to chemical gradients †
The ability to manipulate the movement of surface microstructures is essential for the development of dynamic, responsive materials. We demonstrate that in addition to bulk actuation upon drying, a unique type of highly localized, directional actuation can be achieved when microstructures embedded in pH responsive gel are exposed to pH gradients. Theory and modelling elucidates the underlying m...
