Exogenous mineralization of cell-seeded and unseeded collagen-chitosan hydrogels using modified culture medium.
Induced biomineralization of materials has been employed as a strategy to increase integration with host tissue, and more recently as a method to control cell function in tissue engineering. However, mineralization is typically performed in the absence of cells, since hypertonic solutions that lack the nutrients and culture components required for the maintenance of cell viability are often use...
متن کاملMineralization of hydrogels for bone regeneration.
Hydrogels are an important class of highly hydrated polymers that are widely investigated for potential use in soft tissue engineering. Generally, however, hydrogels lack the ability to mineralize, preventing the formation of chemical bonds with hard tissues such as bone. A recent trend in tissue engineering involves the development of hydrogels that possess the capacity to mineralize. The stra...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Activity of Chitosan-Carbon Nanotube Hydrogels
In the present study, we have prepared chitosan-carbon nanotube (Chitosan-CNT) hydrogels by the freeze-lyophilization method and examined their antimicrobial activity. Different concentrations of CNT were used in the preparation of Chitosan-CNT hydrogels. These differently concentrated CNT hydrogels were chemically characterized using Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron M...
متن کاملEnzymatic coupling of phenol vapors onto chitosan.
Phenols are important industrial chemicals, and because they can be volatile, also appear as air pollutants. We examined the potential of tyrosinase to react with the volatile phenol p-cresol. Three lines of evidence support the conclusion that volatile phenols react with tyrosinase and are coupled (i.e., chemisorbed) onto chitosan films. First, phenol-trapping studies indicated that p-cresol c...
متن کاملProtein-mediated enamel mineralization.
Enamel is a hard nanocomposite bioceramic with significant resilience that protects the mammalian tooth from external physical and chemical damages. The remarkable mechanical properties of enamel are associated with its hierarchical structural organization and its thorough connection with underlying dentin. This dynamic mineralizing system offers scientists a wealth of information that allows t...
