Mobility of model proteins in hydrogels composed of oppositely charged dextran microspheres studied by protein release and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching.
In this paper, the release of proteins from a novel self-gelling hydrogel based on biodegradable dextran microspheres is investigated. The protein-loaded macroscopic gels are obtained by hydration of mixtures of oppositely charged hydroxyethyl methacrylate-derivatized dextran microspheres with a protein solution. In media of low ionic strength (100 mM Hepes pH 7.0) it was found that the release...
متن کاملIntracellular degradation of microspheres based on cross-linked dextran hydrogels or amphiphilic block copolymers: A comparative Raman microscopy study
Micro- and nanospheres composed of biodegradable polymers show promise as versatile devices for the controlled delivery of biopharmaceuticals. Whereas important properties such as drug release profiles, biocompatibility, and (bio)degradability have been determined for many types of biodegradable particles, information about particle degradation inside phagocytic cells is usually lacking. Here, ...
متن کاملElectrostatic interaction of oppositely charged double layers
We determined with anisotropic hypernetted chain theory the effective pressure and counterion excess of two oppositely charged surfaces immersed in an electrolyte solution. These thermodynamic properties are enhanced in surfaces with evenly smeared surface charges with respect to those containing confined mobile charges. For low surface charges and moderate reservoir salt concentration ions are...
متن کاملSelf-Assembled Charged Hydrogels Control the Alignment of Filamentous Actin
We demonstrate a novel route to control attachment of filamentous actin (F-actin) on hydrogel films. By incorporating an amine-terminated silane, the hydrogel surface charge and surface topography are varied. With increasing silane content, F-actin reorients from perpendicular to parallel to the hydrogel surface, ceases to wobble, and forms mainly elongated or cyclic structures. F-Actin coverag...
متن کاملProgrammable co-assembly of oppositely charged microgels.
Here we report the development of an aqueous, self-assembling system of oppositely charged colloids leading towards particle arrangements with controlled order. The colloidal system consists of two types of particles, each consisting of refractive index matched colloidal core-shell microgel particles, which are either negatively charged or amphoteric. By slowly decreasing the pH of our system b...
