1. Structural and Functional Stabilization of Sericin from Bombyx mori Cocoons in a Biopolysaccharide Film: Bioorigami for Skin Regeneration
Development and optimization of a bioorigami film with silk sericin was pursued for skin regeneration. Several formulations were produced, with varying integrated sericin contents, viz. 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 mgsericin mLfilm-1. The physico-chemical characteristics of the bioorigami films produced were evaluated via infrared spectrophotometry, X-ray diffr

2. Water-uptake properties of a fish protein-based superabsorbent hydrogel chemically modified with ethanol
Abstract Hydrophilic polymers can form hydrogels, which are able to absorb and retain as much water as one hundred times their weight. Polymers based on natural products have been drawing attention since they are biocompatible, biodegradable and nontoxic. The aims of this study were to produce and to characterize a biopolymer with superabsorbent properties

3. Poly(vinyl alcohol)-hyaluronic Acid Membranes for Wound Dressing Applications: Synthesis and
in vitro Bio-EvaluationsPhysically crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol)-hyaluronic acid (PVA-HA) hydrogel membranes composed of different amounts of HA were prepared by freeze-thawing (F-T) method. F-T cycle was repeated for three consecutive cycles. HA was chosen and routinely utilized in the local treatment of chronic wounds, because of its advantages as, HA is endogenous and biode

4. Synthesis and characterization of poly (vinyl alcohol) hydrogels and hybrids for rMPB70 protein adsorption
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PVA crosslinked with glutaraldehyde hydrogels (PVA/GA), PVA with tetraethylorthosilicate (PVA/TEOS) and PVA/GA/TEOS hybrids with recombinant MPB70 protein (rMPB70) incorporated were chemically characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR spectra of PVA hydrogel samples showed the absorption regions of the spe

5. New nuclear magnetic resonance methods for studying slow dynamics in organic solids: applications to polymers and proteins / Novas metodologias de ressonância magnética nuclear para o estudo da dinâmica lenta em materiais orgânicos no estado sólido: aplicações em polímeros e proteínas
Solid-State Exchange NMR is an important method to characterize details of dynamic process in materials science. However, the application of these techniques to study complex materials has been limited. In this work new solid-state Exchange NMR techniques, which allows efficient analysis of molecular motions in the millisecond time scale, are presented. The

6. Vortex-Induced Injectable Silk Fibroin Hydrogels
A novel, to our knowledge, technique was developed to control the rate of β-sheet formation and resulting hydrogelation kinetics of aqueous, native silk solutions. Circular dichroism spectroscopy indicated that vortexing aqueous solutions of silkworm silk lead to a transition from an overall protein structure that is initially rich in random coil to one tha

7. Synthetic matrix metalloproteinase-sensitive hydrogels for the conduction of tissue regeneration: Engineering cell-invasion characteristics
Synthetic hydrogels have been molecularly engineered to mimic the invasive characteristics of native provisional extracellular matrices: a combination of integrin-binding sites and substrates for matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) was required to render the networks degradable and invasive by cells via cell-secreted MMPs. Degradation of gels was engineered star

8. Transdermal photopolymerization for minimally invasive implantation
Photopolymerizations are widely used in medicine to create polymer networks for use in applications such as bone restorations and coatings for artificial implants. These photopolymerizations occur by directly exposing materials to light in “open” environments such as the oral cavity or during invasive procedures such as surgery. We hypothesized that ligh
