The osteogenesis of bacterial cellulose scaffold loaded with fisetin
Objective(s): Bacterial cellulose (BC) has applications in medical science, it is easily synthesized, economic and purer compared to plant cellulose. The present study aimed to evaluate BC, a biocompatible natural polymer, as a scaffold for the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) loaded with fisetin, a phytoestrogen.Materials and Methods: BC hydrogel scaffold was prepared from Gluconacet...
متن کاملMechanical Properties of Bacterial Cellulose Implants
Cellulose is a biopolymer that has long been used as a biomaterial and its different sources, as Bacterial Cellulose (BC), have shown to possess impressive mechanical properties, which can lead to the development of new biomedical implants. Bacterial Cellulose is a polysaccharide secreted by bacteria as Gluconacetobacter xylinus: BC is composed of highly hydrated nanofibrils and it is character...
متن کاملAnti-Bacterial Property and Cytotoxicity of Allium Sativum and Myrtus Communis Extracts against Nosocomial Bacterial Infections
Background: Microbial infections and the resistance to antibacterial drugs are on the rise, and scientists are in search of the safest and most effective approach to overcome them. Medicinal plants are potentially effective against many microorganisms. Therefore, this study was planned to examine the antibacterial properties and cytotoxicity of the extracts of Allium sativum and Myrtus communis...
متن کاملPreparation of Esterified Bacterial Cellulose for Improved Mechanical Properties and the Microstructure of Isotactic Polypropylene/Bacterial Cellulose Composites
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has great potential to be used as a new filler to reinforce isotactic polypropylene (iPP) due to its high crystallinity, biodegradability, and efficient mechanical properties. In this study, esterification was used to modify BC, which improved the surface compatibility of the iPP and BC. The results indicated that the cellulose octoate (CO) changed the surface propertie...
متن کاملFluid Dynamic Properties of Bacterial Cellulose and Application
The purpose of this study was to develop a new use for microbial cellulose produced by the bacterium, Acetobacter xylinum. There is a potential application of bacterial cellulose to construct a nano-scale laminar flow reactor. Small particles (i.e. enzymes or solid phase reactants) can be embedded in a growing cellulose matrix with geographic specificity. A fluid containing a substrate can then...
