Hydrogels–water swollen crosslinked networks–have demonstrated considerable promise
in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. However, ambiguity over …

The goal of this paper was the design, development, and characterization of some new
composites, based on collagen and dextran as natural polymers and zinc oxide as …

In this work, we investigate for the first time several issues involved in bio-adhesion process
for a new type of chemically modified titanium surfaces (in their initial form and after collagen …

The objective of this work was to investigate flow rheological properties of topical hydrophilic
gels, containing liposomes loading dill volatile oil. It is well known that rheological properties …

Biomaterials are considered those natural or artificial materials that can be used for any
period of time, as a whole or as part of a system which treats, augments or replaces a tissue …

Collagen-doxycycline matrices crosslinked with a natural polyphenol–tannic acid for the
treatment of infected wounds were obtained by the freeze-drying of the corresponding gels …

This study proposed a drug delivery system based on a series of formulations with chitosan
gels, designed for local, intra-pocket treatment of periodontal disease, containing two drugs …

Background Cross-linked networks of polymers are referred to as hydrogels because they
possess the ability to retain water within the interstitial spaces of the polymer chains. The …

Cellulose derivatives serve as a feasible alternative to the insoluble natural cellulose
considering their high solubility in the most frequent organic solvents and particularly in …

The aim of this study was to test the biocompatibility between collagen-doxycycline matrices
with various porosities and human endothelial cells. Collagen matrices were prepared by …
