Abstract In tissue engineering, bioactive materials play an important role, providing structural support, cell regulation and establishing a suitable microenvironment to promote regeneration. As the main component of extracellular matrix, collagen is natural material it has been widely used in scientific research clinical applications. Collagen available from wide range animal origin, can be pr...

The effect of carcass weight, age at slaughter and sex on some chemical components was evaluated in twenty-two Boutsiko lambs (twelve females and ten males). Chemical composition of meat was expressed as percentage of fat, protein, collagen and moisture content. Measures of the four chemical components were taken by carcass cuts included shoulder, leg, racks, kidney, rear flank, breast ribs and...

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...

This paper reports the characteristics and hemostatic ability of collagen/ginsenoside Rb1 composites with different ginsenoside content, in which, collagen was extracted from fresh water fish scales Panax notoginseng. Glucose glutaraldehyde were used as crosslinking agents for molecules. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) applied to assess functional ...

Abstract Native collagen molecules usually contract upon dehydration, but the details of their interaction with water are poorly understood. Previous molecular modeling studies indicated a spatially inhomogeneous response, combination local axial expansion and contraction. Such sequence-dependent effects difficult to study native collagen. In this article, we use collagen-mimetic peptides (CMPs...

Red djulis (Chenopodium formosanum) is a native grain plant, and shows that it has anti-oxidant anti-inflammatory effects. However, was still unclear whether unhulled red extracts promoted collagen production anti-aging. This study aimed to explore the had anti-aging properties. Using treat human fibroblasts for functional analysis, used HPLC analyze effective components of djulis. found can in...

Collagen, the main protein of body, is extracted in different forms and used as reservoir for drug delivery. The aim this work was to obtain adrug delivery systems based on collagen-dextran matrices cross-linked with glutaraldehyde support flufenamic acid and/or microcapsules drug. encapsulated polymeric consisting gelatin, alginate sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. morphology determined by water...
