F.Lipnizki, inComprehensive Membrane Science and Engineering, 2010 4.06.3.4.2Gelatine Gelatine is a protein which forms a firm gel in aqueous media. Due to its high gelling strength, it is used not only in the food industry but also in the bulk biotech industry as a protective coating for...
This may be explained by the dissimilar cell uptake of free PTX and GePs/PTX. Free PTX might passively diffuse across the cell membrane due to a very steep concentration gradient, resulting in rapid cellular toxicity. On the other hand, the mechanism of cancer cell uptake for nanogels could ...
Prior studies (including gene therapies14 and cell transplantations15) have shown that the ILM is a major barrier to the retinal integration of exogenous RGCs. The ILM is a basement membrane mainly composed of collagen IV, laminin, and others ECM proteins16. Therefore, cellular interactions of ...
4 , 477 (2018)), a spherical microgel of gelatin prepared inside a lipid droplet was reported to have a higher surface elasticity than the bulk gel. In this study, we investigate the role of contact or lack of contact between gelatin and the lipid membrane as well as the micrometric conf...
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) is a versatile material for a wide range of bioapplications. There is an intense interest in developing effective chemical strategies to prepare GelMA with a high degree of batch-to-batch consistency and controllability in te
The mechanical properties of 17.8 mm× 26.6 mm membrane specimens with thicknesses of 220 μm were determined using a material testing system with electronic data evaluation (Zwick/Roell, BZ2.5/TS1S, Germany). Cell morphology, viability and proliferation in PCL/GT Membranes Membranes seeded with ...
Little information of incorporating CNC to boast the properties of widely accepted film-forming blends like PVA-gelatin has been reported in literature. Therefore, this work is based on the hypothesis that value can be added to a nuisance weed (water hyacinth) for easy degradation and packaging ...
Appendix 3 of supplementary material shows the elastic properties of collagen molecules at different structural conformations. It can be noticed that the stiffness of the gel-like structure is about 0.53 GPa. To validate the effect of surface tension on cavitation pressure, we have estimated the...
In the cell aggregate, the morphology of cells is similar to spherical chondrocytes, which are randomly spaced in the middle zone of articular cartilage [45,46], or like undifferentiated MSCs at a particular stage during limb development [37]. To assemble cells into a 3D scaffold and promote ...
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a natural scaffold of cells in the body. It has a complex structure comprising various proteins, such as collagen and hyaladherins, and polysaccharides such as hyaluronan (HA). Here, inspired by the crosslinked ECM struc
