Preparation and characterization of wound healing hydrogel based on fish skin collagen and chitosan cross-linked by dialdehyde starch.

Hydrogels due to high water absorption capacity, flexibility, biodegradability properties and also the ability to provide a moist environment, same as native extracellular, are widely used for wound healing applications. Developing multifunctional hydrogels using biomaterial is an emerging approach in this area. Collagen and chitosan are known as excellent biomaterials due to their properties, functionality, and sustainable sources.

Isolation and Identification of Mycoplasma agalactiae by Culture and Polymerase Chain Reaction Methods in the Sheep Herds in Guilan Province, Iran.

Contagious agalactia is an infectious syndrome of sheep that is characterized by mastitis with reduction of milk production, arthritis, abortion, and keratoconjunctivitis. The disease is rapidly spread by the contact of the infected animals with the healthy ones. Domestic sheep and goats of both sexes can be infected at an equivalent frequency.

The Effects of Zataria multiflora Boiss Essential Oil and Nisin on Chemical Characteristics of Rainbow Trout Fillet Stored at 4 °C.
