(5-30%) leads to more hydrophilic, but still insoluble, polymers. After exposure to water, a hydrogel-like structure develops inside the polymer.Block polymerswith a low percentage of PEG are usually not suitable for controlling the release of small hydrophilic drugs, but provide a controlled ...
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...
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
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...
However, in native skeletal muscle, muscle fibers connect to collagen primarily through the glycoprotein laminin, which is the dominant component of the basement membrane19. In agreement with this finding, studies have shown that both mouse C2C12 and human skeletal myotube formation is enhanced on ...
(0.1 mL at 3 μg/μL) was directly treated into the cell/hydrogel mixture. Simultaneous treatment of each group withd-luciferin was carried out using a multipipette. The luciferase intensity was measured using a microplate luminometer (TR717, Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA, USA) with an ...
Subsequently, 9.66 mL of MA were added dropwise to HA solution and the pH was adjusted to 7.5–8.5 using 5 M NaOH during MA addition. The reaction was proceeded for 4 h, by maintaining the reaction mixture in the ice-water bath and monitoring the pH, dialyzed, frozen, lyophilized, and ...
It is well known that the extracellular side of the cell membrane carries a net negative charge due to the dense and confluent negatively charged network of proteoglycans, glycolipids, and glycoproteins that contribute to intercellular recognition, communication, and adhesion. Conductive polymers, as ...

There was no indication of cell membrane damage after treatment with PVA (3% and 5%), which clearly showed viability equivalent to the gelatin hydrogel. Based on Figure 7a,b, the cells were shown to be viable and, on GPVA3_GNP and GPVA5_GNP, with no significant toxicity. This clearly ...
