Innovative materials are needed to produce scaffolds for various tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) applications, including tissue models. Materials derived from natural sources that offer low production costs, easy availability, and...

Gelatin-based hemostats have been used in various surgical fields and showed advantageous effects on central aspects of wound healing when compared to cellulose-based hemostats. Nevertheless, the influence of gelatin-based hemostats on wound healing...

The present work reports the synthesis of efficient Ti–Au/zeolite Y photocatalysts by different processing of aluminosilicate gel and studies the effect of titania content on the structural, morphological, textural, and optical properties of th...

Temperature-Controlled-Cryoprinting (TCC) is a new 3D bioprinting technology that allows for the fabrication and cryopreservation of complex and large cell-laden scaffolds. During TCC, bioink is deposited on a freezing plate that descends further int...

Bile acid sequestrants (BASs) are non-systemic therapeutic agents used for the management of hypercholesterolemia. They are generally safe and not associated with serious systemic adverse effects. Usually, BASs are cationic polymeric gels that have t...

Magnetic hybrid hydrogels have exhibited remarkable efficacy in various areas, particularly in the biomedical sciences, where these inventive substances exhibit intriguing prospects for controlled drug delivery, tissue engineering, magnetic separatio...

UV-initiated green synthesis of metal nanoparticles by using plant extracts as photoreducing agents is of particular interest since it is an environmentally friendly, easy-to-maintain, and cost-effective method. Plant molecules that act as reducing a...

Polyacrylic Acid grafted Agar-agar (AAc-graf-Agar), and polyacrylamide grafted Agar-Agar (AAm-graf-Agar) have been synthesised by free radical polymerisation route initiated by ammonium peroxodisulphate (APS), the grafted polymers were characterised...

In recent years, during industrial development, the expanding discharge of harmful metallic ions from different industrial wastes (such as arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, silver, or zinc) into different wa...

Three-dimensional matrices are a new strategy used to tackle type I diabetes, a chronic metabolic disease characterized by the destruction of beta pancreatic cells. Type I collagen is an abundant extracellular matrix (ECM), a component that has been...
