“…Other enzymes, such as trypsin and papain, have also been used in collagen extraction. However, trypsin has been shown to degrade collagen [90][91][92], whilst papain was not as efficient (yield wise) in comparison to pepsin [93][94][95].…”

Collagen based devices are frequently associated with foreign body response. Although several pre-(e.g. species, state of animal, tissue) and post-(e.g. cross-linking, scaffold architecture) extraction method factors have a profound effect on foreign body response, little is known about which and how during the extraction process factors mediate foreign body response. In this study, we assessed the influence of acetic acid and hydrochloric acid and the utilisation or not of pepsin or salt precipitation during collagen extraction on the yield, purity, free amines, denaturation temperature, resistance to collagenase degradation and macrophage response. Acetic acid/pepsin extracted collagen exhibited the highest yield, purity and free amine content and the lowest denaturation temperature. No differences in resistance to collagenase digestion were detected between the groups. Although all treatments exhibited similar macrophage morphology comprised of round cells (M1 phenotype), elongated cells (M2 phenotype) and cell aggregates (foreign body response), significantly more elongated cells were observed on HC films. Although no differences in metabolic activity were observed between the groups, the DNA concentration was significantly lower for the hydrochloric acid treatments. Further, cytokine analysis revealed that hydrochloric acid treatments induced significantly higher IL-1β and TNF-α release with respect to acetic acid treatments. Salt precipitation did not influence the parameters assessed. Collectively, these data suggest that during the collagen extraction process variables should also be monitored as, evidently, they affect the physicochemical and biological properties of collagen preparations.

How Can SMEs Boost Trust Through Third-Party Means? Tracing the Multi-Dimensional Institutional Basis of Online Trust

Consumers are reluctant to engage in e-commerce, due in part, to a lack of trust in the emerchants, in the e-commerce technology and in the business process. Few prior studies investigating consumers' trust behaviour in relation to e-retailers have addressed different combinations of third-party services and third-party platforms. However, the importance of both of these to the cross-border ecommerce market is self-evident. This paper aims to explore the development of institutional trust in platforms based on the level of the third-party services provided and ultimately, to develop a complete study of online transaction intentions as driven by the platform institutions. An online survey was conducted to collect the data, and 445 respondents completed and returned the questionnaire. Based on the structure of the data, partial least squares structural equation modelling was used to assess the effects of specific factors on institutional trust and on initial trust. Preliminary findings suggest that third-party logistics, payments and certification significantly enhance consumers' trust in an online platform system and in turn, their trust in the e-retailers. Furthermore, the perceived usefulness of a platform and the trustworthiness of word-of-mouth comment can both significantly influence online trust. The study builds an extended online trust model to explore in greater detail. On the one hand, the model will enable platform management to understand users' demands for third-party services better and so improve the platform system. On the other hand, the model can help e-retailers to form a comprehensive understanding of the third-party platform system, and it can guide them in making use of a platform to improve their sales performance.
