Synthesis, physical properties, and biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles: a reviewProgress in Biomaterials - Tập 11 - Trang 347-372 - 2022
Sunita Keshri, Sonali Biswas
Recent innovations in nanotechnology have opened the applicability of multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs) in biomedical diagnosis and treatment. The examples of NPs which have attracted considerable attention in recent years are metals (e.g., Au, Ag, Mg), alloys (e.g., Fe–Co, Fe–Pd, Fe–Pt, Co–Pt), iron oxides (e.g., Fe2O3 and Fe3O4), substituted ferrites (e.g., MnFe2O4 and CoFe2O4), manganites (e....... hiện toàn bộ
Poly (ε-caprolactone)-based electrospun nano-featured substrate for tissue engineering applications: a reviewProgress in Biomaterials - Tập 10 - Trang 91-117 - 2021
B. Sowmya, A. B. Hemavathi, P. K. Panda
The restoration of normal functioning of damaged body tissues is one of the major objectives of tissue engineering. Scaffolds are generally used as artificial supports and as substrates for regenerating new tissues and should closely mimic natural extracellular matrix (ECM). The materials used for fabricating scaffolds must be biocompatible, non-cytotoxic and bioabsorbable/biodegradable. For this ...... hiện toàn bộ
An aorta ECM extracted hydrogel as a biomaterial in vascular tissue engineering applicationProgress in Biomaterials - Tập 11 - Trang 207-217 - 2022
Khadijeh Baaji, Mohamad Pezeshki-Modaress, Sarah Rajabi
Biological scaffolds have been undergoing significant growth in tissue engineering applications over the last years. Biopolymers extracted from ECM with various protein factors and other biological agents have been active in restoring damaged tissue. In the present study, bioactive scaffold is prepared from bovine aorta extracted natural polymeric hydrogel with advantages of availability and cost-...... hiện toàn bộ
Bone tissue engineering scaffolding: computer-aided scaffolding techniquesProgress in Biomaterials - Tập 3 - Trang 61-102 - 2014

Tissue engineering is essentially a technique for imitating nature. Natural tissues consist of three components: cells, signalling systems (e.g. growth factors) and extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM forms a scaffold for its cells. Hence, the engineered tissue construct is an artificial scaffold populated with living cells and signalling molecules. A huge effort has been invested in bone tissue e...... hiện toàn bộ
Chitosan/polyethylene glycol fumarate blend films for wound dressing application: in vitro biocompatibility and biodegradability assaysProgress in Biomaterials - Tập 7 - Trang 143-150 - 2018
Azadehsadat Hashemi Doulabi, Hamid Mirzadeh, Mohammad Imani, Shadab Bagheri-Khoulenjani
Blending is one of the effective approaches in preparing tailored materials with a wide range of properties. Thus, chitosan-based polymers have been fabricated and used as wound dressings since they possess better properties than those of the constituent materials. The objective of this work was to evaluate the biocompatibility and biodegradability of biodegradable blend films based on polyethylen...... hiện toàn bộ
Polyurethane synthesis for vascular applicationProgress in Biomaterials - Tập 7 - Trang 269-278 - 2018
Zahra Zaredar, Fahimeh Askari, Parvin Shokrolahi
Three polyurethane formulations were prepared on the basis of siloxane; two formulations contained 1% and 3% of a hydroxyl functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane [POSS (ROH)2] nano-particles (as a co-chain extender) and one was without nano-particle. Structures of the polyurethanes were characterized by FTIR and SEM. The effect of POSS nano-particles on properties of the synthesized P...... hiện toàn bộ
Different zeolite systems for colon cancer therapy: monitoring of ion release, cytotoxicity and drug release behaviorProgress in Biomaterials - Tập 8 - Trang 101-113 - 2019
A. G. Abd-Elsatar, M. M. Farag, H. F. Youssef, S. A. Salih, M. M. Mounier, E. El-Meliegy
Three types of oral administrated micronized zeolites [ZSM-5, zeolite A and Faujasite NaX (ZSM-5, ZA and ZX, respectively)] were prepared as anticancer 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) delivery systems for colon cancer treatment. They were prepared by economically widespread and cheap natural resource, kaolin, at low temperatures, using microwave advanced tool. The obtained powders were characterized by XRD,...... hiện toàn bộ
