In Vitro Testing of Modified Collagen/ Hyaluronan/beta-glucan Scaffold

چکیده
Cells and scaffolds belong to main components of tissue engineering. In this study we have performed in vitro cytotoxicity and biocompatibility testing of modified collagen/hyaluronan/beta-glucan scaffold. We used direct contact assay as well as MTT test. Human adipose tissue-derived stem cells were used as biological model. According to obtained results, we can summarize, that modified collagen/hyaluronan/beta-glucan scaffold is non-toxic and biocompatible and after further testing it should be used as carrier of various types of cells.

In vitro Co-Culture of Human Skin Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts on a Biocompatible and Biodegradable Scaffold
Background: Extensive full-thickness burns require replacement of both epidermis and dermis. In designing skin replacements, the goal has been to re-create this model and make a product which has both essential components. Methods: In the present study, we developed procedures for establishing confluent, stratified layers of cultured human keratinocytes on the surface of modified collagen-chito...

Background and Objective: Umbilical Cord blood (UCB) hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation is a therapeutic approach for the treatment of malignant and non-malignant hematologic disorders due to ease of collection, lack of risk for donors and lower levels of infection. Moreover, it is considered a good alternative for bone marrow HSC transplantation. The main limitation of their use is ...
متن کاملExpanded human meniscus-derived cells in 3-D polymer-hyaluronan scaffolds for meniscus repair.
Treatment options for lesions of the avascular region of the meniscus using regenerative medicine approaches based on resorbable scaffolds are rare. Recent approaches using scaffold-based techniques for tissue regeneration known from cartilage repair may be a promising treatment option for meniscal tears. The aim of the study was the investigation of meniscus matrix formation of in vitro expand...
متن کاملMitochondrial Toxicity of Depleted Uranium: Protection by Beta-Glucan
Considerable evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the toxicity of uranyl acetate (UA), a soluble salt of depleted uranium (DU). We examined the ability of the two antioxidants, beta-glucan and butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT), to prevent UA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction using rat-isolated kidney mitochondria. Beta-glucan (150 nM) and BHT (20 nM) attenuated UA-indu...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenicfungus that attacks more than 400 plant species of them medicinal plant. In this study the extract obtained from basal stalk rot of Helianthus annuus L., attacked by S. sclerotiorum, was subjected to the analysis of FTIR to identify the presence of beta-glucan. FT-IR spectrum showed four ranges of bands in 890 cm-1, two overlap band in 1047 and 1078 ...
