This paper provides an extensive overview of published studies on the development and
applications of three-dimensional bone tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds with potential …

Despite considerable research and development efforts, the problem of infections related to
biomedical devices and implants persists. Bacteria evidently can readily colonize surfaces of …

Infection is defined as a homeostatic imbalance between the host tissue and the presence of
microorganisms. It is associated with a large variety of wound occurrences ranging from …

Electrospinning of collagen and chitosan blend solutions in a 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-
hexafluoroisopropanol/trifluoroacetic acid (v/v, 90/10) mixture was investigated for the …

Silica–collagen type I nanocomposite hydrogels are evaluated as medicated dressings to
prevent infection in chronic wounds. Two antibiotics, gentamicin and rifamycin, are …

Advanced scaffolds used in tissue regenerating applications should be designed to address
clinically relevant complications such as surgical site infection associated with surgical …

The repair of critical-sized bone defects is still challenging in the fields of implantology,
maxillofacial surgery and orthopaedics. Current therapies such as autografts and allografts …

Fibrous scaffolds for tissue engineering were fabricated using collagen extracted from Nile
tilapia skin and polycaprolactone (PCL) by electrospinning. The scaffolds were …

Galactosylated and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled polycaprolactone-g-dextran
(Gal-PCL-g-Dex-FITC) polymers were synthesized. The grafted polymers can self-assemble …

Publisher Summary The flexibility in polymer processing plays an important role in the
development of controlled delivery devices for a range of applications related to drugs, food …
