oxidative and microbiological degradations are the main factors that determine the quality of food and the shelf life. color and moisture stability are important quality attributes that contribute to meat shelf life, salability and consumer acceptability. there is currently considerable interest in edible films coatings and natural antioxidants because of their potential to improve the quality ...

tissue engineering is defined as the designing and engineering of structures to rebuild and repair a body damaged tissue. scaffolding poly hydroxy butyrate valraty (phbv) has shown good biocompatibility and biodegradable properties. nanofibers have improved the performance of biomaterials, and could be considered effective. one of the important methods for designing nanofiber scaffold is the el...

Biocompatibility of biomedical devices can be improved by endothelialization of blood-contacting parts mimicking the vascular endothelium's function. Improved endothelialization might be obtained by using biomimetic coatings that allow local sustained release of biologically active molecules, e.g. anti-thrombotic and growth-inducing agents, from nanoliposomes. We aimed to test whether incorpora...

Novel scaffolds composed of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) skeleton covered with bonelike apatite or apatite/collagen composite were produced via a combined phase-separation technique and an accelerated biomimetic coating process. Saos-2 osteoblast-like cells were used to evaluate the cellular behaviors on these biomimetic coatings. Cell morphologies on the surfaces of PLLA scaffolds, PLLA scaffold...

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of collagen coating on titanium on the initial attachment of human gingival fibroblasts for the development of the implant with periimplant soft tissue attachment. The morphological changes of cultured human gingival fibroblasts were investigated by scanning electron microcopy (SEM). Four different surfaces, i.e. non-coated mirror-polished tita...

objective: biomaterial technology, when combined with emerging human induced pluripotent stem cell (hipsc) technology, provides a promising strategy for patient-specific tissue engineering. in this study, we have evaluated the physical effects of collagen scaffolds fabricated at various freezing temperatures on the behavior of hipsc-derived neural progenitors (hipsc-nps). in addition, the coati...

Collagen and apatite were coprecipitated as a composite coating on poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) in an accelerated biomimetic process. The incubation solution contained collagen (1 g/L) and simulated body fluid with 5 times inorganic ionic concentrations as human blood plasma. The coating formed on PLLA films and scaffolds after a 24-h incubation was characterized by using energy-dispersive X-ray s...

In this study, type I collagen was coated onto unmodified and modified microporous biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) scaffolds. Surface characterization using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a surface goniometer confirmed the modification of the BCP coating. The quantity of the collagen coating was investigated using Sirius Red staining, and quantitative assessment of the collagen coati...

Biomimetic coatings to increase endothelialization of blood-contacting materials in biomedical devices are promising to improve the biocompatibility of these devices. Although a stable extracellular matrix protein coating on a biomaterial's surface is a prerequisite for endothelial cell attachment, it also stimulates platelet adhesion. Therefore, antithrombotic additives, such as nitric oxide d...
