Disruption of the continuous cutaneous membrane in the integumentary system is
considered a health problem of high cost for any nation. Several attempts have been made …

Collagen–polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) superabsorbent hydrogels were synthesized by γ–
irradiation in the absence of oxygen, using high molecular weight PVP and acidic collagen …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogels are water-swollen fibrillary three-dimensional (3D)
networks where collagen type I is the major component. The hierarchical network formed by …
