Stabilisation of Collagen Sponges by Glutaraldehyde Vapour Crosslinking
Glutaraldehyde is a well-recognised reagent for crosslinking and stabilising collagens and other protein-based materials, including gelatine. In some cases, however, the use of solutions can disrupt the structure of the material, for example, by causing rapid dispersion or distortions from surface interactions. An alternative approach that has been explored in a number of individual cases is th...
متن کاملThe physicochemical properties of collagen gel as the model for hide fiber cross-linked by glutaraldehyde
As the most common alternative tanning agent for chromium salts, glutaraldehyde (GTA) imparted softness, mellowness, perspiration resistance and a fair high shrinkage temperature to leather. To elucidate the interaction between GTA and hide at molecular level, the gels, which consist of collagen fibrils and possess three-dimensional network structure, were prepared as the model for hide fiber v...
متن کاملCollagen Crosslinking for Keratoconus
In this issue of JOVR, Derakhshan and co-authors 1 describe the results of crosslinking for patients with early keratoconus. Collagen crosslinking is a recently described technique of corneal tissue strengthening using riboflavin as a photosensitizer and ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation to promote the formation of intra-and interfibrillar covalent bonds by photosensitized oxidation. 2 To date, it ...
متن کاملGlutaraldehyde crosslinking of collagen substrates inhibits degradation in skin substitutes grafted to athymic mice.
Collagen-based implants have been described as vehicles for transplantation of cultured skin cells for treatment of burn wounds. To optimize vascularization and repair of connective tissue, collagen solubility and glutaraldehyde crosslinking were evaluated. Cultured skin substitutes consisted of human keratinocytes and fibroblasts attached to collagen-glycosaminoglycan substrates that were prep...
متن کاملControl of crosslinking for tailoring collagen-based scaffolds stability and mechanics
UNLABELLED We provide evidence to show that the standard reactant concentrations used in tissue engineering to cross-link collagen-based scaffolds are up to 100 times higher than required for mechanical integrity in service, and stability against degradation in an aqueous environment. We demonstrate this with a detailed and systematic study by comparing scaffolds made from (a) collagen from two...
