Fibrin biopolymer as scaffold candidate to treat bone defects in rats
Cassaro,Claudia Vilalva; Justulin Jr.,Luis Antonio; Lima,Patrícia Rodrigues de; Golim,Marjorie de Assis; Biscola,Natália PerussiABSTRACT Background: Bone tissue repair remains a challenge in tissue engineering. Currently, new materials are being applied and often integrated with live cells and biological scaffolds. The fibrin biopolymer (FBP) proposed in this study has hemostatic, sealant, adhesive, scaffolding and drug-delivery properties. The regenerative potential of an association of FBP, biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) and mesench...
Traceability of animal protein byproducts in ruminants by multivariate analysis...
Ferreira Jr.,Rui Seabra; Silva,Daniela Alessandra Fossato da; Biscola,Natália Perussi; Sartori,Maria Márcia Pereira; Denadai,Juliana CéliaAbstract Background: Ruminant feed containing animal byproduct proteins (ABPs) is prohibited in many countries due to its risk of transmitting prion diseases (PD). In most cases the entire herd is sacrificed, which causes great harm to the producer countries by preventing their exportation of ruminant derived-products. Methods: We used stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) of carbon (13C/12C) and nitrog...
