Article Synopsis
- There's a growing interest in using cellulose-based materials for biomedical purposes, but there's a lack of detailed studies on these materials from different sources and processing methods.
- This research tested the biocompatibility of various cellulose forms, including bacterial nanocellulose and regenerated cellulose, against synthetic options like polypropylene in a subcutaneous model.
- While regenerated cellulose showed promise as a safe alternative, fragmentation issues in cellulose nanofibril meshes indicate a need for better processing techniques to enhance their effectiveness.
Cage change and gavage are routine procedures in animal facilities, yet little is known about whether housing modifications change responses to these procedures. Telemetric activity and cardiovascular parameters were assessed in this experiment. BN and F344 male rats were housed in open or individually ventilated cages, each containing 3 rats, 1 of which had a transponder.
