Microstructural characterization of edible films by microscopy techniques and textural features
The microstructural study of edible films is of great importance because it provides information about the structural arrangement and morphology of the films. Several microscopy techniques are employed for structural characterization of edible films; however, most of these only provide qualitative information. The aim of this study was to characterize the surface microstructure of alginate, chi...
متن کاملChitosan-alginate Microfibers Generation on a Microfluidic Chip and Encapsulation of Hepg2 Cells
The successful encapsulation of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells would assist applications in tissue engineering. In this paper, we have developed a method to produce chitosan-alginate microfibers within a microfluidic chip. Also, by suspending cells in the mixing solution, we fabricated HepG2 cell-laden fibers. The encapsulated HepG2 cells in the chitosan–alginate fibers were more ...
متن کاملPolystyrene microsphere and 5-fluorouracil release from custom-designed wound dressing films
Custom-designed wound dressing films of chitosan and alginate have been prepared by a casting/solvent evaporation method for hydrophobic therapeutic agent encapsulation. In this parametric study, the propylene glycol (PG) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) concentrations were varied for chitosan and alginate films, respectively. Mechanical and chemical inter-related responses under observations inclu...
متن کاملBiofabrication with biopolymers and enzymes: potential for constructing scaffolds from soft matter.
PURPOSE Regenerative medicine will benefit from technologies capable of fabricating soft matter to have appropriate architectures and that provide the necessary physical, chemical and biological cues to recruit cells and guide their development. The goal of this report is to review an emerging set of biofabrication techniques and suggest how these techniques could be applied for the fabrication...
متن کاملSelf-assembled Biodegradable Nanoparticles and Polysaccharides as Biomimetic ECM Nanostructures for the Synergistic effect of RGD and BMP-2 on Bone Formation
Producing biomimetic extracellular matrix (ECM) is an effective approach to improve biocompatibility of medical devices. In this study, biomimetic ECM nanostructures are constructed through layer-by-layer self-assembling positively charged chitosan (Chi), negatively charged oxidized sodium alginate (OAlg), and positively charged bovine serum albumin (BSA)-based nanoparticles. The BSA-based nano...
