Surface physical chemistry properties in coated bacterial cellulose membranes with calcium phosphate.

Bacterial cellulose has become established as a new biomaterial, and it can be used for medical applications. In addition, it has called attention due to the increasing interest in tissue engineering materials for wound care. In this work, the bacterial cellulose fermentation process was modified by the addition of chondroitin sulfate to the culture medium before the inoculation of the bacteria.

Novel chemically modified bacterial cellulose nanocomposite as potential biomaterial for stem cell therapy applications.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has become established as a remarkably versatile biomaterial and can be used in a wide variety of applied scientific applications, especially for medical devices. In this work, the bacterial cellulose fermentation process is modified by the addition of hyaluronic acid and gelatin (1% w/w) to the culture medium before the bacteria is inoculated. Hyaluronic acid and gelatin influence in bacterial cellulose was analyzed using Transmission Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

Human dental pulp stem cell behavior using natural nanotolith/bacterial cellulose scaffolds for regenerative medicine.

Adhesion and Viability study with human dental pulp stem cell using natural nanotolith/bacterial cellulose scaffolds for regenerative medicine are presented at first time in this work. Nanotolith, are osteoinductors, i.e.

Novel electrospun nanotholits/PHB scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration.

Nanotholits is an osteoinductor or be, stimulates the bone regeneration, enabling bigger migration of the cells for formation of the bone tissue regeneration mainly because nanotholits are rich in minerals considered essential to the bone mineralization process on a protein matrix (otolin) as hydroxiapatite. In order to improve its biodegrability and bioresorption in new platforms for tissue engineering, it was electrospun PHB/nanotholits from aqueous solutions of this polymer at concentrations of nanotholits 1% (w/v) and compared morphological and thermal properties with PHB/nanotholits casting films. Electrospun PHB/nanotholits mats presents more symmetric nanopore structure than casting films mats observed by SEM images mainly because the orientation of pores along the longitudinal direction of the electrospun fibers.
