Primary hepatocyte is probably the preferred cell for cell therapy in liver regeneration. However, its non-ideal proliferation capacity and rapid loss of phenotype during 2D culture compromises the quality and quantity of the transplanted hepatocytes, resulting in variable success rates of this
BACKGROUND
Complexes of Genipin and different water-soluble adjuvant polysaccharides, such as arabinogalactane, hydroxyethyl starch, fibergum, and oligosaccharides β-CD and HP-β-CD, were synthesized as drug delivery system using mechanochemical technology.
METHODS
We have investigated
Peritoneal adhesions are a common complication after abdominal surgery. They cause small bowel obstruction, female infertility and chronic abdominal pain. Peritoneal adhesions also hamper uniform drug distribution in the peritoneal cavity, thereby reducing the efficacy of intraperitoneal
(1) Background: Intervertebral disc (IVD) repair represents a major challenge. Using functionalised biomaterials such as silk combined with enforced hydrogels might be a promising approach for disc repair. We aimed to test an IVD repair approach by combining a genipin-enhanced fibrin hydrogel with
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of dentin collagen modifications induced by various cross-linkers on the stability of collagen matrix and the inhibition of root caries.
METHODS
The following cross-linkers were tested: 5% glutaraldehyde (GA), 0.5% proanthocyanidin (PA), 0.625% genipin (GE). In the
Drug administration via buccal mucosa is an attractive drug delivery strategy due to good patient compliance, prolonged localized drug effect, and avoidance of gastrointestinal drug metabolism and first-pass elimination. Buccal drug delivery systems need to maintain an intimate contact with the
BACKGROUND
We previously showed that nano-hydroxyapatite/carboxymethyl chitosan (n-Ha/CMCS) displayed excellent mechanical properties, good degradation rates and exceptional biocompatibility, with negligible toxicity. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the same composite with
We combined topographical and chemical surface modifications of Ti-6Al-4V (TA6V) to improve its osteogenic potential. By acid-etching, we first generated topomimetic surface features resembling, in size and roughness, bone cavities left by osteoclasts. Next, we coated these surfaces with biomimetic
Chinese giant salamander (CGS) has high medicinal value and long history of clinical use in ancient China. In this study, CGS skin (CGSS) collagen was extracted and purified to prepare collagen sponge by freeze-drying. TEMPO oxidized microfibrillated cellulose (TEMPO-MFC) and genipin were adopted to
Angiogenic therapies may need to select a stable agent to be delivered. In the study, a nonpeptide angiogenic agent, ginsenoside Rg(1) (Rg(1)), was encapsulated in the gelatin microspheres (MSs) crosslinked with genipin and intramuscularly injected into a rat model with infarcted myocardium. bFGF
We previously developed a biomaterial scaffold that could effectively provide seed cells to a lesion cavity resulting from traumatic brain injury. However, we subsequently found that few transplanted human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) are able to migrate from the scaffold to the
