Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in biomedical applications of pectin gels
TL;DR: Pectin structure, sources and extraction procedures have been discussed focussing on the properties of the polysaccharide that can be tuned to optimize the gels for a desired application and possess a fundamental role in application of pectin in the biomedical field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pectin-based injectable biomaterials for bone tissue engineering.
Fabiola Munarin,Susana G. Guerreiro,Maritie Grellier,Maria Cristina Tanzi,Mário A. Barbosa,Paola Petrini,Pedro L. Granja +6 more
TL;DR: Not only did cells grow inside but also they were able to spread out from the microspheres and to organize themselves in 3D structures producing a mineralized extracellular matrix, suggesting that pectin can be proposed as an injectable cell vehicle for bone tissue regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical stability of polyether urethanes versus polycarbonate urethanes.
TL;DR: Overall data indicate that polycarbonate urethane presents a greater chemical stability than does polyetherurethane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silk fibroin/poly(carbonate)-urethane as a substrate for cell growth: in vitro interactions with human cells.
TL;DR: Results show that SF-coated PCU membranes represent a novel type of biomaterial that favors the adhesion, the growth and performance of specific metabolic tasks by normal human adult fibroblasts without eliciting any concurrent secretion of some of the chief proinflammatory cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Injectable pectin hydrogels produced by internal gelation: pH dependence of gelling and rheological properties
Helena R. Moreira,Fabiola Munarin,Roberta Gentilini,Livia Visai,Pedro L. Granja,Maria Cristina Tanzi,Paola Petrini +6 more
TL;DR: The investigated formulations represent interesting injectable systems providing an adequate microenvironment for cell, drug or bioactive molecules delivery, and provided evidence that the pH can be more precisely modulated with NaHCO3 than with NaOH.
