An enduring in vitro wound healing phase recipient by bioactive glass-graphene oxide nanocomposites.

Bioactive glass (BG) is an interesting topic in soft tissue engineering because of its biocompatibility and bonding potential to increase fibroblast cell proliferation, synthesize growth factors, and stimulate granulation tissue development. The proposed BG with and without sodium (Na), prepared by the sol-gel method, is employed in wound healing studies. The BG/graphene oxide (GO) and BG (Na-free)/GO nanocomposites were investigated against fibroblast L929 cells in vitro; the 45S5 BG nanocomposites exhibited desired cell viability (80%), cell proliferation (30%), cell migration (25%), metabolic activity, and wound contraction due to extracellular matrix (ECM) production and enhanced protein release by fibroblast cells.

Water is a key factor to alter the structure and electrochemical properties of carboxylate-bridged dimanganese(II) complexes.

The synthesis and physical properties of dimanganese(II) compounds with varying numbers of water ligands housed in the four bulky carboxylate motifs, including the first complex with a parallelogram core {Mn2(μ-OH2)2(μ-O2CR)}(3+) unit, are described. The isolation of these complexes revealed how water could alter the structural and electrochemical properties of similar carboxylate-bridged dimanganese(II) cores that may occur in a variety of active sites of Mn-containing metalloenzymes. These studies support the notion that water molecules in coordination spheres of active sites of metalloproteins are not a simple spectator medium but the modulation factor of structures and functions.
