Soft tissue engineering and microbial infections

Classification of Biomaterial Functionality

“…In ection resistant biomaterials are one o the latest strategies that are being experimented to reduce microbial in ections [178] ollowing the ocus over the last decades on antibiotic techniques, control o clinical sterility [179]. Despite the utmost care clinical hygiene procedures, in ections associated with biomaterials and associated surgical procedures have been challenging…”

Microbial biofilm in human health - an updated theoretical and practical insight

“…The treatment of biofilm-related infections remains on the agenda of researchers worldwide, with certain experimental model treatments linked to molecular biology state-of-the-art techniques (54,55). The major challenge is represented by the antibiotic resistance of bacteria growing in biofilms (56).…”

Effect of the Hemin Molecular Complexes on the Structure and Properties of the Composite Electrospun Materials Based on Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)

“…In recent years, composite polymer materials modified with metal complexes of porphyrins have been widely used in various fields: electrically conductive fibers [1][2][3], fiberoptic sensors [4,5], materials for photonics [6,7], gene therapy [8,9] or biomedicine [10][11][12]. The creation of such composites with controlled functional properties is an actual scientific direction [13][14][15]. One of the reasons for the dynamic growth of interest in metal complexes of tetrapyrrolic macrocycles is the advances in the chemical synthesis and chemistry of tetrapyrroles, which make it possible to obtain numerous analogues of natural systems (porphyrins, texaphyrins, chlorins, corroles and others) for biomedical purposes [16][17][18][19][20].…”
