Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of an enamel matrix protein derivative (Emdogain) on ex vivo dental plaque vitality.
TL;DR: Emdogain might have an antibacterial effect on the vitality of the ex vivo supragingival dental plaque flora, indicated by statistically highly significant reductions in terms of bacteria vitality when compared to water and EMD.
Journal ArticleDOI
New amphiphilic and pH-sensitive hydrogel for controlled release of a model poorly water-soluble drug.
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the establishment of clusters inside beads by intramolecular interactions between PCL grafts of 530 g mol(-1) in salt media allowed to retain the drug and to slow down its release considerably.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro and in vivo evaluation of alginate/sol-gel synthesized aminopropyl-silicate/alginate membrane for bioartificial pancreas.
TL;DR: The data show that the membrane had the molecular weight cut-off point of between 70 and 150 kDa, and hardly inhibited the permeation of glucose and insulin, and was more stable than the well-known Alg/poly-L-lysine (PLL)/Alg microcapsule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alginate microsphere filled with carbon nanotube as drug carrier.
TL;DR: The AL/CNT microspheres, with higher stability, less drug leakage and predominant sustaining release profile, showed the potential application as a drug delivery system to intestine and colon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strong calcium phosphate cement‐chitosan‐mesh construct containing cell‐encapsulating hydrogel beads for bone tissue engineering
TL;DR: Strong, in situ hardening, and cell-seeded hydroxyapatite cements may have potential for bone tissue engineering in moderate stress-bearing applications and the use of chitosan and mesh progressively improved the mechanical properties.
