Microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity: a green extraction technology for phenyle...

Watercress is a cruciferous vegetable and the primary natural source of phenylethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a powerful health-promoting agent. Conventional extraction of PEITC relies on harmful solvents, which limits sustainability. This study introduces a novel, solvent-free method—microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity (MHG)—to extract PEITC from watercress by-products (WCBP). Results showed that freezing WCBP ...

Cutting-edge hybrid dressings: combining silk medical textiles and decellulariz...

Aim: Burns affect 11 million people globally each year, with 180,000 fatalities [1]. This study investigates a multilayer burn dressing combining silk fibroin (SF) fabric with highly- preserved decellularized porcine small intestine (dPSI) to support tissue regeneration and wound integration [2]. A silk sericin (SS) hydrogel is included as interface for structural integrity and anti-inflammatory benefits, enhan...

Biohybrid dressings: integrating silk fibroin textiles with decellularized biol...

Burns affect 11 million people globally each year with 180,000 associated fatalities. This study proposes a multilayer hybrid dressing combining a silk fibroin (SF) textile with decellularized porcine small intestine (dPSI) capable of simultaneously provide wound protection and tissue regeneration. A silk sericin (SS) hydrogel was embedded into the decellularized tissue ensuring the integration with the textile...

Exploring rabbit skin as a novel decellularized dermal substitute for burn woun...

Aim: Burn wounds represent a significant medical challenge. Autografts remain the standard treatment, however, are unsuitable for deep or extensive burns(1). Decellularized skin xenografts offer a viable alternative, having significantly reduced immunogenicity, still there is currently no skin-derived decellularized xenografic matrix due to its low resemblance to human skin (2)(3). This study proposes decellula...

Novel knee implant fixation technology: 3D printed foamed bioactive screw/elect...

Introduction: Musculoskeletal injuries, widespread across all ages, genders, and sociodemographic groups1, are prevalent in the knee joint. Besides the conservative treatments and physiotherapy, several degenerative and traumatic knee injuries require surgical intervention2. To address one of the most significant challenges in surgical orthopaedic procedures, long-term implant fixation3, an innovative solution ...

Hydrogel-forming potential of sulphated exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Porphyridi...

Introduction: Gel-like materials have been on the forefront of biomedical research due to their properties such as easily adaptable shape, water-holding ability, and their adjustable degrading rate. Hydrogels from natural origin are gaining attention both for its growing popularity as “green” materials, and due to their many useful properties as compared to synthetic ones, as they are often biocompatible, and b...

Porphyridium cruentum: a factory for the production of a new polysaccharide-bas...

Marine algae and their metabolites have been widely recognized for their bioactive properties with applications in various industries, such as nutraceutical, cosmetical, and pharmaceutical. In this study, the best strategy for the extraction and processing of the exopolysaccharides (EPS) from Poryphydium cruentum for a laboratory scale was discussed, and the collected, purified EPS fraction was extensively char...

Streamlining skin regeneration: a ready-to-use silk bilayer wound dressing

Silk proteins have been highlighted in the past decade for tissue engineering (TE) and skin regeneration due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and exceptional mechanical properties. While silk fibroin (SF) has high structural and mechanical stability with high potential as an external protective layer, traditionally discarded sericin (SS) has shown great potential as a natural-based hydrogel, promoti...
