Development of Porous Polysaccharides-Hydroxyapatite Composite Scaffolds via Freeze Drying Method and in vitro Osteoconductivity on MG 63 Cells

fMWCNT–amylopectin–HAP and fMWCNT–gellan gum–HAP were prepared and characterized and their in vitro cell proliferation and ALP activity were checked for the first time.

Development of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube-based polysaccharide–hydroxyapatite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) was isolated from the bones of sea bass (Lates calcarifer) fish by thermal calcination at 800°C. HAP-chitosan-coir pith composite was prepared with the isolated HAP, chitosan and coir pith. The prepared composite was characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), Fourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The composite prepared was crystalline with compressive strength of 13.96 ± 0.95 MPa, tensile strength of 1.51 ± 0.74 MPa and water absorption of 32.7%. It also exhibited slow biodegradation in soil burial test. © 2014 Copyright Taylor &amp; Francis Group, LLC.

Covalent conjugation of mechanically stiff graphene oxide flakes to three-dimensional collagen scaffolds for osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells

Curcumin loaded poly(2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate) p(HEMA) nanofiber were produced using electrospinning method and characterized. The nanofibrous scaffold supports good cell growth, attachment and retains its original morphology. Sustained and controlled release pattern of curcumin seen to be efficient against infectious disease caused by multidrug resistant organisms. Antibacterial activity of curcumin against Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and extended spectrum β lactamase (ESBL) proved to be a good alternate herbal compound for antibiotics. Hence the results indicate p(HEMA) nanofiber loaded with curcumin have potential to use as patch in wound healing of infectious disease caused by multidrug resistant organisms and excellent drug delivery vessel. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
