Journal ArticleDOI
Sutureless repair of corneal injuries using naturally derived bioadhesive hydrogels
Ehsan Shirzaei Sani,Ahmad Kheirkhah,Devyesh Rana,Zhongmou Sun,William Foulsham,Amir Sheikhi,Amir Sheikhi,Ali Khademhosseini,Reza Dana,Nasim Annabi,Nasim Annabi +10 more
TL;DR: In vivo experiments showed that bioadhesive could effectively seal corneal defects and induce stromal regeneration and re-epithelialization, and GelCORE has many advantages including low cost and ease of production and use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gelatin-polysaccharide composite scaffolds for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering: Towards natural therapeutics.
Samson Afewerki,Samson Afewerki,Amir Sheikhi,Soundarapandian Kannan,Soundarapandian Kannan,Soundarapandian Kannan,Samad Ahadian,Ali Khademhosseini +7 more
TL;DR: G gelatin–polysaccharide biomaterials benefit from mechanical resilience, high stability, low thermal expansion, improved hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, antimicrobial and anti‐inflammatory properties, and wound healing potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
