Journal ArticleDOI
Strategies for the chemical and biological functionalization of scaffolds for cardiac tissue engineering: a review.
Marwa Tallawi,Elisabetta Rosellini,Niccoletta Barbani,Maria Grazia Cascone,Ranjana Rai,Guillaume Saint-Pierre,Aldo R. Boccaccini +6 more
TL;DR: Recent studies reported in the literature to functionalize scaffolds in the context of CTE, are discussed and the results of novel promising strategies and techniques are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blends of synthetic and natural polymers as drug delivery systems for growth hormone
TL;DR: Results show that GH can be released from HA/PAA sponges and from HA-PVA and C/PVA hydrogels, and the rate and quantity of GH released was significantly dependent on the HA or C content of the polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioartificial polymeric materials based on polysaccharides.
Maria Grazia Cascone,Niccoletta Barbani,Caterina Cristallini,Paolo Giusti,Gianluca Ciardelli,Luigi Lazzeri +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that while Dextran is perfectly miscible with PAA, dextran/PVA, chitosan/P VA, starch/PV, and gellan-PVAblends behave mainly as two-phase systems, although interactions can occur between the components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gelatin nanoparticles produced by a simple W/O emulsion as delivery system for methotrexate.
TL;DR: Biodegradable hydrophilic gelatin nanoparticles, containing different initial amounts of methotrexate (MTX), were prepared using a simple solvent evaporation technique based on a single water-in-oil emulsion and stabilized by the use of glutaraldehyde as cross-linking agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoblast responses to collagen-PVA bioartificial polymers in vitro: the effects of cross-linking method and collagen content
TL;DR: There was an inverse relationship between collagen content of gluataraldehyde cross-linked films and the extent of cell proliferation on them, and the DHT cross-link method is a preferable alternative to the use of glutaraldehyde.
