Thin natural gelatin/chitosan nanofibrous scaffolds for retinal pigment epithelium cells

Metallic SPIONP/AgNP synthesis using a novel natural source and their antifungal activities

“…where, s is the crystallite size (nm), K is the crystallite shape coefficient (0.9), l is the X-ray generator wavelength (0.154 nm), b is the FWHM, and q is the diffraction angle. Transmission electron microscopy was used to determine the size, shape, and distribution of the synthesized nanoparticles, 29 and the results (Fig. 3) show that both of the synthesized NPs are spherical particles and have an average size of less than 50 nm.…”

Applications of nano-materials in diverse dentistry regimes

“…The sedimentation process is performed at the ambient temperature in a reaction chamber via the combination of gas molecules wherein chemical reaction takes place when a heated substrate communicates with the fused gas. 8 The reaction results in the formation of a thin layer of product on the substrate surface, which is recyclable and reusable. The temperature of the substrate is one of the factors affecting CVD.…”

“…This massive increase in the surface area can be applied for different purposes. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Teeth within the oral cavity have various parts such as dentin, enamel, cementum, pulp, and periodontal ligament. Teeth cut and crush food to make it easy to swallow and digest.…”

Recent developments in regenerative ophthalmology

“…(4) Gelatin use in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) Several studies have investigated the use of gelatin or gelatin scaffolds as an RPE sheet carrier. Initial success revealed that gelatin-based absorbable sandwich-like membranes survived well and developed laminar structures (Xiang et al, 2014;Rahmani et al, 2018;Noorani et al, 2018;Park et al, 2019). A novel ultrathin and porous nanofibrous film fabricated using regenerated wild Antheraeapernyi silk fibroin, polycaprolactone, and gelatin was found to mimic Bruch's membrane, wherein retinal pigment epithelial cells grow with excellent biocompatibility in vivo and cytocompatibility in vitro (Xiang et al, 2014).…”
