[ 1 ] - Implants modified with polymeric nanofibers coating containing the antibiotic vancomycin

Objective(S): Implant-related infections are disastrous complications in the clinic. One recent strategy to reduce the rate of infection is using the bioactive coating with an antibiotic. The purpose of these bioactive surfaces is to prevent bacterial adhesion to the implant and, consequently, the development of biofilm. In this study, vancomycin-loaded polymeric coating on imp...

[ 2 ] - Hemocompatibility assessment and drug release kinetics investigation from materials based on electrospun nanofibers

Objective(s): Polymeric nanofiber has a huge potential for a various biomedical applications such as wound healing and orthopedic implant. Since most of the future applications of therapeutic nanofiber are interacting with human blood components, it is important to investigate hemocompatibility. Methods: In this study, nanofibers with antibacterial properties were synthesizedby elec...

[ 3 ] - Preparation and Biomedical properties of transparent chitosan/gelatin/honey/aloe vera nanocomposite

Objective(s): Biodegradable polymers are featured with notable potentials for biotechnology and bioengineering purposes. Still, there are limitations in their applicability so that in many cases composite forms are used. The present study is focused on chitosan (CS), gelatin (GEL), honey (H) and aloe vera (AV) for preparation of thin films.Methods: To prepare the thin film, CS and GEL wit...
