UV-cured collagen-based hydrogels hold promise in skeletal muscle regeneration due to their soft elastic properties and porous architecture. However, the complex triple helix conformation of collagen environmental conditions, i.e., molecular oxygen, pose risks reaction controllability, wet-state integrity, reproducibility. To address this challenge, a photoclick hydrogel platform is presented t...

hydrogel nanocomposites based on alginate polysaccharide were prepared by graft copolymerization of acrylamide and itaconic acid in the presence of carbon nanotube, using methylene bisacrylamide and ammonium persulfate as crosslinker and initiator, respectively. the synthesized samples were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. the ...

in order to determine outcome of pregnancy with lui in patients with unexplained recurrent miscarriage whose husbands have low hypo-osmotic swelling test scores, a prospective clinical intervention was performed at a university referral clinic of recurrent abortion. out of 56 patients whose husbands had abnormal hypo-osmotic swelling tests, 43 patients underwent lui, from which only 14 patients...

The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of different dry matter content and addition of silage inoculant on the ruminal protein degradability. Alfalfa herbage was collected from two cuts and the fresh matter was sampled two times during each cut (with different dry matter content). During the preparation of experimental micro-silages, the chopped forage was treated with a microbia...

in this research, chemical composition, gas production characteristics, effective degradability and nutritive value index (nvi) of dm and cp by in situ method of treated walnut hull by nurospora sitophila were studied. three fistulated kermani ram were used for determination of walnut hull degradability. data were analysed using completely randomize design. by processing walnut hull with neuros...

A reactive oxygen species (ROS)-degradable scaffold is fabricated by crosslinking biocompatible, hydrolytically-degradable poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with a ROS-degradable oligoproline peptide, KP7K. The ROS-mediated degradability triggers favorable host responses of the scaffold including improved cell infiltration and angiogenesis in vivo, indicating its unique advantages for tissue engineeri...

the chemical composition, degradability coefficients (in situ) and ruminal-intestinal disappearance(mobile bag procedure) of dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp) were evaluated for olive cake (oc)silages treated (dm basis) with additives as follows: (1) untreated oc, (2) oc + 0.5% urea, (3) oc + 0.4%formic acid, (4) oc + 8% molasses, (5) oc + 0.5% urea + 8% molasses, (6) oc + 0.5% urea + 0.4%...

Amaranth ( sp.) is a C plant adapted to poor soils and regions with limited rainfall and high temperatures. The plant is characterized by a yield of up to 85 t/ha, CP concentration of up to 28.5% of DM, and DM digestibility of 59 to 79%, which may vary depending on the species and variety. The potential of this plant as a forage source for ruminants has not been completely considered. This stud...
