Abstract
This research consolidates our group's advances in developing a therapeutic dressing with innovative enzymatic debridement, focusing on the physicochemical and in vitro biological properties of papain immobilized in wet oxidized bacterial cellulose (OxBC-Papain) dressing. OxBC membranes were produced with Komagataeibacter hansenii oxidized with NaIO4, and papain was immobilized on them. They were characterized in terms of enzyme stability (over 100 days), absorption capacity, water vapor transmission (WVT), hemocompatibility, cytotoxicity, and cell adhesion. The OxBC-Papain membrane showed 68.5% proteolytic activity after 100 days, demonstrating the benefit of using the OxBC wet membrane for papain stability. It had a WVT rate of 678 g/m2·24 h and cell viability of 99% and 86% for L929 and HaCat cells, respectively. The membranes exhibited non-hemolytic behavior and maintained 26% clotting capacity after 1 h. The wet OxBC-Papain membrane shows significant potential as a natural biomolecule-based therapeutic dressing for wound care, offering efficient debridement, moisture maintenance, exudate absorption, gas exchange, and hemostasis without cytotoxic effects or cell adhesion to the dressing. Further research, especially using in vivo models, is needed to assess its efficacy in inducing epithelialization. This study advances stomatherapy knowledge, providing a cost-effective solution for enzymatic debridement in healthcare.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bacterial cellulose (BC) has shown high capacity for the treatment of wounds and burns, providing a moisty environment. Calcium alginate can be associated with BC to create gels that aid in wound debridement and contribute to appropriate wound healing. This study is aimed at characterizing and evaluating the use of bacterial cellulose/alginate gel in skin burns in rats. METHODS Cellulose and cellulose/alginate gels were compared regarding the capacity of liquid absorption, moisture, viscosity, and potential cytotoxicity. The 2nd degree burns were produced using an aluminum metal plate (2.0cm) at 120ºC for 20s on the back of rats. The animals were divided into non-treated, CMC(Carboxymethylcellulose), Cellulose(CMC with bacterial cellulose), and Cellulose/alginate(CMC with bacterial cellulose and alginate). The animals received topical treatment 3 times/week. Biochemical (MPO, NAG and oxidative stress), histomorphometry and immunohistochemical assays (IL-1β IL-10 and VEGF) were conducted on the 14th, 21st, 28th, and 35th days. RESULTS Cellulose/Alginate gel showed higher absorption capacity and viscosity compared to Cellulose gel, with no cytotoxic effects. Cellulose/alginate presented lower MPO values, a higher percentage of IL-10, with greater and balanced oxidative stress profile. CONCLUSIONS The use of cellulose/alginate gel reduced neutrophils and macrophage activation and showed greater anti-inflammatory response, which can contribute to healing chronic wounds and burns.

Abstract
Achieving hemostasis is a necessary intervention to rapidly and effectively control bleeding. Conventional hemostatic materials currently used in clinical practice may aggravate the damage at the bleeding site due to factors such as poor adhesion and poor adaptation. Compared to most traditional hemostatic materials, polymer-based hemostatic materials have better biocompatibility and offer several advantages. They provide a more effective method of stopping bleeding and avoiding additional damage to the body in case of excessive blood loss. Various hemostatic materials with greater functionality have been developed in recent years for different organs using diverse design strategies. This article reviews the latest advances in the development of polymeric hemostatic materials. We introduce the coagulation cascade reaction after bleeding and then discuss the hemostatic mechanisms and advantages and disadvantages of various polymer materials, including natural, synthetic, and composite polymer hemostatic materials. We further focus on the design strategies, properties, and characterization of hemostatic materials, along with their applications in different organs. Finally, challenges and prospects for the application of hemostatic polymeric materials are summarized and discussed. We believe that this review can provide a reference for related research on hemostatic materials, contributing to the further development of polymer hemostatic materials.

[PMID: 38534606 DOI: 10.3390/gels10030188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Hydrogels are polymeric materials that possess a set of characteristics meeting various requirements of an ideal wound dressing, making them promising for wound care. These features include, among others, the ability to absorb and retain large amounts of water and the capacity to closely mimic native structures, such as the extracellular matrix, facilitating various cellular processes like proliferation and differentiation. The polymers used in hydrogel formulations exhibit a broad spectrum of properties, allowing them to be classified into two main categories: natural polymers like collagen and chitosan, and synthetic polymers such as polyurethane and polyethylene glycol. This review offers a comprehensive overview and critical analysis of the key polymers that can constitute hydrogels, beginning with a brief contextualization of the polymers. It delves into their function, origin, and chemical structure, highlighting key sources of extraction and obtaining. Additionally, this review encompasses the main intrinsic properties of these polymers and their roles in the wound healing process, accompanied, whenever available, by explanations of the underlying mechanisms of action. It also addresses limitations and describes some studies on the effectiveness of isolated polymers in promoting skin regeneration and wound healing. Subsequently, we briefly discuss some application strategies of hydrogels derived from their intrinsic potential to promote the wound healing process. This can be achieved due to their role in the stimulation of angiogenesis, for example, or through the incorporation of substances like growth factors or drugs, such as antimicrobials, imparting new properties to the hydrogels. In addition to substance incorporation, the potential of hydrogels is also related to their ability to serve as a three-dimensional matrix for cell culture, whether it involves loading cells into the hydrogel or recruiting cells to the wound site, where they proliferate on the scaffold to form new tissue. The latter strategy presupposes the incorporation of biosensors into the hydrogel for real-time monitoring of wound conditions, such as temperature and pH. Future prospects are then ultimately addressed. As far as we are aware, this manuscript represents the first comprehensive approach that brings together and critically analyzes fundamental aspects of both natural and synthetic polymers constituting hydrogels in the context of cutaneous wound healing. It will serve as a foundational point for future studies, aiming to contribute to the development of an effective and environmentally friendly dressing for wounds.

Int J Pharm 2024; 652:123851. [PMID: 38272194 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.123851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
The nanocellulose has unique characteristics, such as biocompatibility, good mechanical strength, and low cytotoxicity. The nanocellulose crystalline portion is responsible for good mechanical resistance, while the amorphous portion is responsible for flexibility. Such features make it a promising candidate for multiple applications related to the modulation of substance release: targeted cancer therapy, transdermal drug delivery, and controlled-release packaging materials. Thus, in this study, we discussed nanocellulose as a multipurpose material for drug delivery and bioactive compound carriers in controlled delivery systems with varied applications in pharmaceutic fields. Herein, we focus on understanding key factors such as i) polymer-drug interactions and surface modification strategies in controlled release rates, ii) therapeutic efficacy, and iii) biocompatibility aspects. The tunable chemistry surface plays a fundamental approach limiting the quick release of active substances in drug delivery systems. Several works on a pre-clinical stage of investigation were overviewed, reporting robust evidence on nanocellulose to design bioactive compounds/drug delivery carriers based on stimuli-responsive drug release and controlled delivery systems for higher efficiency in cancer therapies, purposing target therapy and reduced side effects. Nanocellulose was also identified as a solid candidate material in active packaging for pharmaceutical products. Cellulose nanocrystals and bacterial cellulose demonstrated strong potential to overcome the challenge of controlled release profile and open novel insights in advanced active packaging materials for pharmaceutics with controlled release of antioxidant and antimicrobial substances. Moreover, the concept overview in this work might be extended in active food packaging technologies to flavor-releasing/absorbing systems or antimicrobial/antioxidant carriers for extending the shelf life of foods.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to obtain antimicrobial dressings from bacterial cellulose loaded with nutmeg and of fir needle essential oils. The attractive properties of BC, such as biocompatibility, good physicochemical and mechanical stability, and high water absorption, led to the choice of this material to be used as a support. Essential oils have been added to provide antimicrobial properties to these dressings. The results confirmed the presence of oils in the structure of the bacterial cellulose membrane and the ability of the materials to inhibit the adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. By performing antibacterial tests on membranes loaded with fir needle essential oil, we demonstrated the ability of these membranes to inhibit bacterial adhesion to the substrate. The samples loaded with nutmeg essential oil exhibited the ability to inhibit the adhesion of bacteria to the surface of the materials, with the 5% sample showing a significant decrease. The binding of essential oils to the membrane was confirmed by thermal analysis and infrared characterization.

Abstract
Novel wound dressing materials are required to non-cytotoxic with a viable cell ratio of above 92%. Herein, the cytotoxicity of hyaluronic acid/chitosan/bacterial cellulose-based (BC(CS/HA)) membranes are evaluated and compared to that of alginate/chitosan/bacterial cellulose-based (BC(CS/Alg)) membranes was investigated. Multilayer membranes with up to ten CS/HA or CS/Alg layers were prepared using the layer-by-layer (LBL) method. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the diameters of the fibers in the BC(CS/Alg) and BC(CS/HA) membranes were larger than those in a BC membrane. The cytotoxicity was analyzed using BALB-3T3 clone A31 cells (mouse fibroblasts, 1 × 104 cells/well). The BC(CS/HA)5 and BC(CS/HA)10 membranes exhibited high biocompatibility, with the cell viabilities of 94% and 87% at 5 d, respectively, compared to just 82% for the BC(CS/Alg)5 and BC(CS/Alg)10 membranes with same numbers of layers. These results suggested that BC(CS/HA)5 is a promising material for wound dressings.

Abstract
In this study, a biocellulose (BC) sheet containing Aloe vera gel extract (AE) was developed for application in healing chronic wounds, such as diabetic wounds. The BC sheet was produced by Acetobacter xylinum and then lyophilized to obtain dried sheets. A. vera gel was extracted by precipitation in 35% ammonium sulfate, lyophilized, dried, and incorporated into the BC sheet. The protein content of the AE was 12.32 ± 3.4% w/w, with a molecular weight of ∼20 kDa. The release of TNF-α from lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW264.7 cells was reduced by treatment with AE in a dose-dependent manner. The physicochemical and biological properties of the developed sheet were investigated. Morphological examination of the BC/AE sheet using scanning electron microscopy revealed the 3D construction of nanofibrils, which showed high porosity. The BC/AE sheet exhibited water absorption at 74%, and the release of proteins in the AE reached 97.23% at 4 h. The BC sheet incorporated with proteins in the AE at 283.78 ± 7.7 μg/cm2 can promote the wound healing in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The recovering skin in diabetic wounds treated with the BC/AE sheet exhibited a normal cell arrangement without fibrosis, as revealed by histological staining. The research findings indicate that the BC/AE sheet has potential for applications in wound dressings.

Abstract
Abstract
Hemorrhage is the leading cause of trauma-related deaths, in hospital and pre-hospital settings. Hemostasis is a complex mechanism that involves a cascade of clotting factors and proteins that result in the formation of a strong clot. In certain surgical and emergency situations, hemostatic agents are needed to achieve faster blood coagulation to prevent the patient from experiencing a severe hemorrhagic shock. Therefore, it is critical to consider appropriate materials and designs for hemostatic agents. Many materials have been fabricated as hemostatic agents, including synthetic and naturally derived polymers. However, compared to synthetic polymers, natural polymers or biopolymers, which include polysaccharides and polypeptides, have greater biocompatibility, biodegradability, and processibility. Thus, in this review, we focus on biopolymer-based hemostatic agents of different forms, such as powder, particles, sponges, and hydrogels. Finally, we discuss biopolymer-based hemostats currently in clinical trials and offer insight into next-generation hemostats for clinical translation.

Abstract
Modern wound treatment calls for hydroactive dressings. Among the variety of materials that have entered the field of wound care in recent years, the carbohydrate polymer bacterial cellulose (BC) represents one of the most promising candidates as the biomaterial features a high moisture-loading and donation capacity, mechanical stability, moldability, and breathability. Although BC has already gained increasing relevance in the treatment of burn wounds, its potential and clinical performance for "chronic wound" indications have not yet been sufficiently investigated. This article focuses on experimental and clinical data regarding the application of BC within the indications of chronic, non-healing wounds, especially venous and diabetic ulcers. A recent clinical observation study in a chronic wound setting clearly demonstrated its wound-cleansing properties and ability to induce healing in stalling wounds. Furthermore, the material parameters of BC dressings obtained through the static cultivation of Komagataeibacter xylinus were investigated for the first time in standardized tests and compared to various advanced wound-care products. Surprisingly, a free swell absorptive capacity of a BC dressing variant containing 97% moisture was found, which was higher than that of alginate or even hydrofiber dressings. We hypothesize that the fine-structured, open porous network and the resulting capillary forces are among the main reasons for this unexpected result.

Abstract
Hernia repairs are the most common abdominal wall elective procedures performed by general surgeons. Hernia-related postoperative infective complications occur with 10% frequency. To counteract the risk of infection emergence, the development of effective, biocompatible and antimicrobial mesh adjuvants is required. Therefore, the aim of our in vitro investigation was to evaluate the suitability of bacterial cellulose (BC) polymer coupled with gentamicin (GM) antibiotic as an absorbent layer of surgical mesh. Our research included the assessment of GM-BC-modified meshes’ cytotoxicity against fibroblasts ATCC CCL-1 and a 60-day duration cell colonisation measurement. The obtained results showed no cytotoxic effect of modified meshes. The quantified fibroblast cells levels resembled a bimodal distribution depending on the time of culturing and the type of mesh applied. The measured GM minimal inhibitory concentration was 0.47 µg/mL. Results obtained in the modified disc-diffusion method showed that GM-BC-modified meshes inhibited bacterial growth more effectively than non-coated meshes. The results of our study indicate that BC-modified hernia meshes, fortified with appropriate antimicrobial, may be applied as effective implants in hernia surgery, preventing risk of infection occurrence and providing a high level of biocompatibility with regard to fibroblast cells.

Abstract
Although new therapeutic approaches for surgery and wound healing have recently made a great progress, there is still need for application of better and use novel methods to enhance biocompatibility as well as recovery and healing process. Bacterial Cellulose (BC) is natural cellulose in the form of nanostructure which has the advantages of being used in human body. The medical application of BC in reconstructive, cardiac and vascular surgery as well as wound healing is still under development, but without proved success of repetitive results. A review of studies on Bacterial Cellulose (BC) since 2016 was performed, taking into account the latest reports on the clinical use of BC. In addition, data on the physicochemical properties of BC were used. In all the works, satisfactory results of using Bacterial Cellulose were obtained. In all presented studies various BC implants demonstrated their best performance. Additionally, the works show that BC has the capacity to reach physiological as well as mechanical properties of relevance for various tissue replacement and can be produced in surgeons as well as patient specific expectations such as ear frames, vascular tubes or heart valves as well as wound healing dressings. Results of those experiments conform to those of previous reports utilizing ADM (acellular dermal matrix) and demonstrate that the use of BC has no adverse effects such as ulceration or extrusion and possesses expected properties. Based on preliminary animal as well as the few clinical data BC fittings are promising implants for various reconstructive applications since they are biocompatible with properties allowing blood flow, attach easily to wound bed and remain in place until donor site is healed properly. Additionally, this review shows that BC can be fabricated into patient specific shapes and size, with capability to reach mechanical properties of relevance for heart valve, ear, and muscle replacement. Bacterial cellulose appears, as shown in the above review, to be one of the materials that allow extensive application in the reconstruction after soft tissue defects. Review was created to show the needs of surgeons and the possibilities of using BC through the eyes and knowledge of biotechnologists.

Abstract
The synthesis of bacterial cellulose (BC) by Komagataeibacter xylinus strain B-12068 was investigated on various C-substrates, under submerged conditions with stirring and in static surface cultures. We implemented the synthesis of BC on glycerol, glucose, beet molasses, sprat oil, and a mixture of glucose with sunflower oil. The most productive process was obtained during the production of inoculum in submerged culture and subsequent growth of large BC films (up to 0.2 m2 and more) in a static surface culture. The highest productivity of the BC synthesis process was obtained with the growth of bacteria on molasses and glycerol, 1.20 and 1.45 g/L per day, respectively. We obtained BC composites with silver nanoparticles (BC/AgNPs) and antibacterial drugs (chlorhexidine, baneocin, cefotaxime, and doripenem), and investigated the structure, physicochemical, and mechanical properties of composites. The disc-diffusion method showed pronounced antibacterial activity of BC composites against E. coli ATCC 25922 and S. aureus ATCC 25923.

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of bacterial cellulose hydrogel (BCH) incorporated into montmorillonite (MMT) and its underlying mechanisms of action on a skin wound healing mouse model following pressure injury model. Komagataeibacter hansenii was used to obtain 5 cm in diameter and 0.8 mm of thickness circular bacterial cellulose (BC) sheets, which were incorporated with MMT by deposition ex-site using a 0.1% MMT suspension (100 rpm for 24 h at 28 °C). Afterward, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the bacterial cellulose hydrogel incorporated into montmorillonite (BCH-MMT). The pressure injury model was assessed by macroscopic and histological analysis in male Swiss mice. Both, BC and BCH-MMT, showed a typical FTIR spectrum of cellulosic substrates with pronounces bands around 3344, 2920, 1637, and 1041 cm-1 while microparticles of MMT dispersed uniformly throughout BC were revealed by SEM photographs. Animals treated with BCH-MMT showed significant healing of pressure ulcers as demonstrated by reduced area of redness and spontaneous hyperalgesia, lower amounts of in-site inflammatory cells (to the same level as the positive control Dersani®) and ultimately, complete epidermis re-epithelialization and tissue regeneration. Altogether, these findings suggest that a modified BCH-MMT film could serve as scaffolding for skin tissue engineering and potentially as a novel dressing material for pressure injury.

Abstract
A new strain of bacteria producing cellulose was isolated from Kombucha and identified as Komagataeibacter hansenii, named SI1. In static conditions, the strain synthesises bacterial nanocellulose with an improved ability to stretch. In this study, utilisation of various carbon and nitrogen sources and the impact of initial pH was assessed in terms of bacterial nanocellulose yield and properties. K. hansenii SI1 produces cellulose efficiently in glycerol medium at pH 5.0-6.0 with a yield of 3.20-3.60 g/L. Glucose medium led to the synthesis of membrane characterised by a strain of 77%, which is a higher value than in the case of another Komagataeibacter species. Supplementation of medium with vitamin C results in an enhanced porosity and improves the ability of bacterial nanocellulose to stretch (up to 123%). The properties of modified membranes were studied by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and mechanical tests. The results show that bacterial nanocellulose produced in SH medium and vitamin C-supplemented medium has unique properties (porosity, tensile strength and strain) without changing the chemical composition of cellulose. The method of production BNC with altered properties was the issue of Polish patent application no. P.431265.

Abstract
Significance: Wound dressings are frequently used for wound covering and healing. Ideal wound dressings should provide a moist environment for wounds and actively promote wound healing and skin recovery. The materials used as ideal wound dressings should possess specific properties, thus accelerating skin tissue regeneration process. Recent Advances: Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer synthesized by some bacteria. As a kind of natural biopolymer, BC shows good biological activity, biodegradability, and biological adaptability. It has many unique physical, chemical, and biological properties, such as ultrafine nanofiber network, high crystallinity, high water absorption and retention capacity, and high tensile strength and elastic modulus. These excellent properties of BC have laid the foundation for its application as dressing in wound healing. Critical Issues: To optimize the biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity of BC, different methods including microbial fermentation, physical modification, chemical modification, and compound modification have been adopted to modify BC to ensure a better application in wound healing. BC-based wound dressings have been applied in infected wounds, acute traumatic injuries, burns, and diabetic wounds, showing remarkable therapeutic effects on promoting wound healing. Furthermore, there have been some commercial BC-based dressings and they have been utilized in clinical practice. Future Directions: Because of its excellent physicochemical characteristics and biological properties, BC shows high clinical value to be used as a wound dressing for skin tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Nanocelluloses (NCs), with their remarkable characteristics, have proven to be one of the most promising "green" materials of our times and have received special attention from researchers in nanomaterials. A diversity of new functional materials with a wide range of biomedical applications has been designed based on the most desirable properties of NCs, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and their special physicochemical properties. In this context and under the pressure of rapid development of this field, it is imperative to synthesize the successes and the new requirements in a comprehensive review. The first part of this work provides a brief review of the characteristics of the NCs (cellulose nanocrystals-CNC, cellulose nanofibrils-CNF, and bacterial nanocellulose-BNC), as well as of the main functional materials based on NCs (hydrogels, nanogels, and nanocomposites). The second part presents an extensive review of research over the past five years on promising pharmaceutical and medical applications of nanocellulose-based materials, which have been discussed in three important areas: drug-delivery systems, materials for wound-healing applications, as well as tissue engineering. Finally, an in-depth assessment of the in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity of NCs-based materials, as well as the challenges related to their biodegradability, is performed.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC), which can be produced by microorganisms, is an ideal biomaterial especially for tissue engineering and drug delivery systems thanks to its properties of high purity, biocompatibility, high mechanical strength, high crystallinity, 3 D nanofiber structure, porosity and high-water holding capacity. Therefore, wide ranges of researches have been done on the BC production process and its structural and physical modifications to make it more suitable for certain targeted biomedical applications thoroughly. BC's properties such as mechanical strength, pore diameter and porosity can be tuned in situ or ex situ processes by using various polymer and compounds. Besides, different organic or inorganic compounds that support cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation or provide functions such as antimicrobial effectiveness can be gained to its structure for targeted application. These processes not only increase the usage options of BC but also provide success for mimicking the natural tissue microenvironment, especially in tissue engineering applications. In this review article, the studies on optimisation of BC production in the last decade and the BC modification and functionalisation studies conducted for the three main perspectives as tissue engineering, drug delivery and wound dressing with diverse approaches are summarized.

Abstract
The blood-clotting performance and characteristics of hemostatic materials are critical for their development and actual application. Based on the theory of porous media and characteristics of a non-Newtonian fluid, this study proposed an adsorption factor to characterize the porosity generation and blood coagulation process of hemostatic materials. On this basis, we constructed a physical model of blood coagulation in a porous medium integrated with the power-law fluid model to study the proposed poly(vinyl alcohol)-chitosan (PVA-CS) composite hemostatic material. Moreover, we simulated the dynamic blood flow process and blood coagulation process in the PVA-CS hemostatic material by introducing the physical model. The simulation results show that the blood begins to coagulate, which affects the porosity and permeability of the blood-containing area, resulting in changing the porosity after blood flowed into the hemostatic material. The porosity, permeability, and blood flow rate will approach zero until the generated blood coagulation entirely blocked the porous medium. Besides, simulation can provide the pressure and velocity distribution varying in the coagulation process of hemostatic materials. The temperature will also influence the hemostatic performance of the PVA-CS material. In all, the proposed simulation method enabled the coagulation mechanism of PVA-CS to be revealed from the perspective of blood flow in porous media combined with the adsorption factor.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has received immense interest in medical, pharmaceutical, and other related fields owing to its intrinsic physical, mechanical, and biological features. Its structural features offer an ideal environment for developing composites, thereby further extending its areas of applications. BC was initially used in wound dressing, artificial blood vessels, organ development, and tissue regeneration; however, the recent focus has switched to 3D printing techniques. BC can serve as suitable material for treating different cancers due to unique liquid absorbing and drug loading properties. BC-based scaffolds have been synthesized and tested for in vitro culturing of cancer cells to simulate tumor microenvironments. These scaffolds support normal growth of cancer cells, particularly breast and ovarian cancer cells, showing significant adhesion, proliferation, ingrowth, and differentiation. This review describes the different approaches of manipulating BC for use in medicine, with particular focus on the applications of BC composites in cancer treatment. A detailed discussion about various formulations of BC in multiple cancer therapeutics is summarized.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC), chitosan (Chi), and collagen (Col) are known as biopolymers which have met some properties that are required as wound dressing. This study focused on investigating the fabrication of BC-based wound dressing with chitosan and collagen, since chitosan has red blood cells binding and anti-bacterial properties, while collagen can support cell and tissue growth for skin wounds. The BC-based wound dressing was prepared by impregnating BC fibers in the chitosan and/or collagen solution for 24 h. FTIR was used to confirm the intermolecular interaction of amine and hydroxyl group of chitosan and/or collagen in BC-based wound dressing. Furthermore, the XRD diffractogram of the wound dressing show broader peaks at 14.2°, 16.6°, and 22.4° due to the presence of chitosan and collagen molecules in BC fibers. These results were then supported by SEM images which confirmed that chitosan and collagen were well penetrated into BC fibers. TGA curves revealed that BC/Chi/Col has better thermal properties based on the Tmax compare to BC/Col/Chi. Feasibility of the mats to be applied as wound dressing was also supported by other tests, i.e., water content, porosity, and hemocompatibility, which indicates that the wound dressing is classified as nonhemolytic materials. However, BC/Col/Chi was considered a more potential wound dressing to be applied compared to BC/Chi/Col since it has larger pores and showed better antibacterial properties (larger zones of inhibition) against S. aureus and E. coli via disk diffusion tests.

Effects of Bacterial Nanocellulose Loaded with Curcumin and Its Degradation Products on Human Dermal Fibroblasts. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13214759.

Abstract
Bacterial nanocellulose has found applications in tissue engineering, in skin tissue repair, and in wound healing. Its large surface area enables the adsorption of various substances. Bacterial nanocellulose with adsorbed substances can serve as a substrate for drug-delivery of specific bioactive healing agents into wounds. In this study, we loaded a bacterial nanocellulose hydrogel with curcumin, i.e., an important anti-bacterial and healing agent, and its degradation products. These products were prepared by thermal decomposition of curcumin (DC) at a temperature of 180 °C (DC 180) or of 300 °C (DC 300). The main thermal decomposition products were tumerone, vanillin, and feruloylmethane. Curcumin and its degradation products were loaded into the bacterial nanocellulose by an autoclaving process. The increased temperature during autoclaving enhanced the solubility and the penetration of the agents into the nanocellulose. The aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxicity and the antimicrobial activity of pure curcumin, its degradation products, and finally of bacterial nanocellulose loaded with these agents. In vitro tests performed on human dermal fibroblasts revealed that the degradation products of curcumin, i.e., DC 180 and DC 300, were more cytotoxic than pure curcumin. However, if DC 300 was loaded into nanocellulose, the cytotoxic effect was not as strong as in the case of DC 300 powder added into the culture medium. DC 300 was found to be the least soluble product in water, which probably resulted in the poor loading of this agent into the nanocellulose. Nanocellulose loaded with pure curcumin or DC 180 exhibited more antibacterial activity than pristine nanocellulose.

Abstract
Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is a nanofibrillar polymer that possesses unique characteristics such as high chemical purity, mechanical strength, flexibility, and absorbency. In addition, different bacterial strains can form nanocellulose (NC) in multiple shapes and sizes. This study describes the first report of a marine Bacillus strain that is able to synthesize NC. The strain identified as B. velezensis SMR based on 16S rDNA sequencing, produced highly structured NC, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopic Analysis (SEM). In Hestrin-Schramm (HS) medium, B. velezensis SMR produced twice the quantity of BNC in comparison to the reference strain, G. xylinus ATCC 10245. The ability of B. velezensis SMR to produce NC using different industrial waste materials as growth media was tested. Growth in Ulva seaweed extract supported a 2.5-fold increase of NC production by B. velezensis SMR and a threefold increase in NC production by G. xylinus ATCC 10245. As proof of principle for the usability of NC from B. velezensis SMR, we successfully fabricated a BNC-based polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel (BNC-PVA) system, a promising material used in different fields of application such as medicine, food, and agriculture.

Abstract
Rapid hemostasis and formation of stable blood clots are very important to prevent massive blood loss from the excessive bleeding for living body, but their own clotting process cannot be completed in time for effective hemostasis without the help of hemostatic materials. In general, traditionally suturing and stapling techniques for wound closure are prone to cause the additional damages to the tissues, activated inflammatory responses, short usage periods and inevitable second operations in clinical applications. Especially for the large wounds that require the urgent closure of fluids or gases, these conventional closure methods are far from enough. To address these problems, various tissue adhesives, sealants and hemostatic materials are placed great expectation. In this review, we focused on the development of two main categories of tissue adhesive materials: synthetic polymeric adhesives and naturally derived polysaccharide adhesives. Research of the high performance of hemostatic adhesives with strong adhesion, better biocompatibility, easy usability and cheap price is highly demanded for both scientists and clinicians, and this review is also intended to provide a comprehensive summarization and inspiration for pursuit of more advanced hemostatic adhesives for biological fields.

Abstract
Background::
Biosensors are widely applied for the detection of bio-molecules in blood
glucose , cholesterol, and gene. Cellulose as the most dominating natural polymer has attracted
more and more interest, especially in the field of medicine such as advanced medical diagnosis.
Cellulose could endow biosensors with improved biocompatibility, biodegradability and nontoxicity,
which could help in medical diagnosis. This mini-review summarizes the current development
of cellulose-based biosensors as well as their applications in medical diagnosis in recent
years.
Methods:
After reviewing recent years’ publications we can say that, there are several kinds of
cellulose used in biosensors including different cellulose derivatives, bacterial cellulose and nanocellulose.
Different types of cellulose-based biosensors, such as membrane, nano-cellulose and
others were briefly described in addition to the detection principle. Cellulose-based biosensors
were summarized as in the previous papers. The description of various methods used for preparing
cellulose-based biosensors was also provided.
Results:
Cellulose and its derivatives with their unique chemical structure proved to be versatile
materials providing a good platform for achieving immobilizing bioactive molecules in biosensors.
These cellulose-based biosensors possess various desirable properties such as accuracy, sensitivity,
convenience, low cost and fast response. Among them, cellulose paper-based biosensors
have the advantages of low cost and easy operation. Nano-cellulose has unique properties such as
a large aspect ratio, good dispersing ability and high absorption capacity.
Conclusion:
Cellulose displays a promising application in biosensors which could be used to detect
different bio-molecules such as glucose, lactate, urea, gene, cell, amino acid, cholesterol, protein
and hydroquinone. In future, the attention will be focused on designing miniaturized, multifunctional,
intelligent and integrated biosensors. Creation of low cost and environmentally
friendly biosensors is also very important.

[PMID: 32919624 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2020.111246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2018] [Revised: 05/18/2020] [Accepted: 06/28/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
To evaluate the advantages and mechanisms involved in repairing rabbit dural defect with a novel electrospun bacterial cellulose (EBC) membrane, a series of experiments were carried out in vitro and in vivo. Compared with common bacterial cellulose (BC) membrane, a more dispersed and regular fiber structure and a better porosity and water holding capacity were found in the EBC membrane, which also had superior degradability. However, the biomechanical properties were slightly decreased. The results demonstrated that BC and EBC membranes had little effect on proliferation and apoptosis of mouse fibroblast cells. There were no complications such as infection, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, epilepsy and brain swelling after BC and EBC membrane repairs in rabbit models. Using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot, the early inflammatory reactions in the EBC group were shown to be lower than in the BC group, and were close to the autologous dura mater group. Histological observations and western blot revealed more collagen fibers evenly distributed on the outer side of EBC membranes than in the BC and unpatched groups, and fewer brain tissue adhesions and epidural scars were found in the EBC group. Compared with common BC membrane, the EBC membrane had better biophysical properties and biocompatibility. It is expected to be a suitable alternative material for the repair of damaged dura mater.

Crystal and Supramolecular Structure of Bacterial Cellulose Hydrolyzed by Cellobiohydrolase from Scytalidium Candidum 3C: A Basis for Development of Biodegradable Wound Dressings. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13092087. [PMID: 32369952 PMCID: PMC7254194 DOI: 10.3390/ma13092087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2020] [Revised: 04/20/2020] [Accepted: 04/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The crystal and supramolecular structure of the bacterial cellulose (BC) has been studied at different stages of cellobiohydrolase hydrolysis using various physical and microscopic methods. Enzymatic hydrolysis significantly affected the crystal and supramolecular structure of native BC, in which the 3D polymer network consisted of nanoribbons with a thickness T ≈ 8 nm and a width W ≈ 50 nm, and with a developed specific surface SBET ≈ 260 m2·g−1. Biodegradation for 24 h led to a ten percent decrease in the mean crystal size Dhkl of BC, to two-fold increase in the sizes of nanoribbons, and in the specific surface area SBET up to ≈ 100 m2·g−1. Atomic force and scanning electron microscopy images showed BC microstructure “loosening“after enzymatic treatment, as well as the formation and accumulation of submicron particles in the cells of the 3D polymer network. Experiments in vitro and in vivo did not reveal cytotoxic effect by the enzyme addition to BC dressings and showed a generally positive influence on the treatment of extensive III-degree burns, significantly accelerating wound healing in rats. Thus, in our opinion, the results obtained can serve as a basis for further development of effective biodegradable dressings for wound healing.

Abstract
Corneal trauma and ulcerations are leading causes of corneal blindness around the world. These lesions require attentive medical monitoring since improper healing or infection has serious consequences in vision and quality of life. Amniotic membrane grafts represent the common solution to treat severe corneal wounds. However, amniotic membrane's availability remains limited by the dependency on donor tissues, its high price and short shelf life. Consequently, there is an active quest for biomaterials to treat injured corneal tissues. Nanocellulose synthetized by bacteria (BNC) is an emergent biopolymer with vast clinical potential for skin tissue regeneration. BNC also exhibits appealing characteristics to act as an alternative corneal bandage such as; high liquid holding capacity, biocompatibility, flexibility, natural - but animal free-origin and a myriad of functionalization opportunities. Here, we present an initial study aiming at testing the suitability of BNC as corneal bandage regarding preclinical requirements and using amniotic membrane as a benchmark. Bacterial nanocellulose exhibits higher mechanical resistance to sutures and slightly longer stability under in vitro and ex vivo simulated physiological conditions than amniotic membrane. Additionally, bacterial nanocellulose offers good conformability to the shape of the eye globe and easy manipulation in medical settings. These excellent attributes accompanied by the facts that bacterial nanocellulose is stable at room temperature for long periods, can be heat-sterilized and is easy to produce, reinforce the potential of bacterial nanocellulose as a more accessible ocular surface bandage.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose membrane (BCM) has been recently recognized as a new generation of carbohydrate-based nanomaterial that possesses a great potential in tissue engineering applications. This research aims to develop an active non-resorbable guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane from BCM by conjugating with plant-derived recombinant human osteopontin (p-rhOPN), an economically produced and RGD-containing biomolecule. The BCM was initially grafted with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) brushes to form poly(acrylic acid)-grafted BCM. Multiple carboxyl groups introduced to the BCM by PAA can serve as active anchoring points for p-rhOPN conjugation and yielded p-rhOPN-BCM. All chemically modified BCMs were characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, while their surface morphology was evaluated by field emission-scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy analyses. The amount of p-rhOPN adhered on the membrane was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The immunocytochemistry, two-stage quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and in vitro mineralization analyses strongly suggested that p-rhOPN-BCM could elicit biological functions leading to the enhancement of osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells as effective as BCM conjugated with commercially available rhOPN from mammalian cells (rhOPN-BCM), suggesting its potential to be used as GTR membrane to promote bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Tissue engineering promotes tissue regeneration through biomaterials that have excellent properties and have the potential to replace tissues. Many studies show that bacterial cellulose (BC) might ensure tissue regeneration and substitution, being used for the bioengineering of hard, cartilaginous and soft tissues. Bacterial cellulose is extensively used as wound dressing material and results show that BC is a promising tissue scaffold (bone, cardiovascular, urinary tissue). It can be combined with polymeric and non-polymeric compounds to acquire antimicrobial, cell-adhesion and proliferation properties. To ensure proper tissue regeneration, the material has to be: biocompatible, with minimum tissue reaction and biodegradability; bio-absorbable, to promote tissue development, cellular interaction and grow; resistant to support the weight of the newly formed tissue. Its versatile structure, physical and biochemical properties can be adjusted by adapting the bacteria culturing conditions. The main biomedical applications seem to be as hard (bone, dental), fibrocartilaginous (meniscal) and soft tissue (skin, cardiovascular, urinary) substituents. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge, challenges and future applications of BC and its biomedical potential in veterinary medicine. It was focused on the main uses in regeneration and scaffold tissue replacement and, although BC showed promising results, there is a lack of successful results of BC use in clinical practice. Most studies were performed only at experimental level and further research is needed for BC to enter clinical veterinary practice.

Abstract
Background Developing an ideal wound dressing that meets the multiple demands of safe and practical, good biocompatibility, superior mechanical property and excellent antibacterial activity is highly desirable for wound healing. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is one of such promising class of biopolymers since it can control wound exudates and can provide moist environment to a wound resulting in better wound healing. However, the lack of antibacterial activity has limited its application. Methods and Results We prepared a flexible dressing based on a bacterial cellulose membrane and then modified it by chemical crosslinking to prepare in situ synthesis of nZnO/BCM via a facile and eco-friendly approach. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results indicated that nZnO/BCM membranes were characterized by an ideal porous structure (pore size: 30~ 90 μm), forming a unique string-beaded morphology. The average water vapor transmission of nZnO/BCM was 2856.60 g/m2/day, which improved the moist environment of nZnO/BCM. ATR-FITR further confirmed the stepwise deposition of nano-zinc oxide. Tensile testing indicated that our nanocomposites were flexible, comfortable and resilient. Bacterial suspension assay and plate counting methods demonstrated that 5wt. % nZnO/BCM possessed excellent antibacterial activity against S.aureus and E. coli, while MTT assay demonstrated that they had no measurable cytotoxicity toward mammalian cells. Moreover, skin irritation test and histocompatibility examination supported that 5wt. % nZnO/BCM had no stimulation to skin and had acceptable biocompatibility with little infiltration of the inflammatory cells. Finally, by using a bacteria-infected (S. aureus and E. coli) murine wound model, we found that nZnO/BCM could prevent in vivo bacterial infections and promote wound healing via accelerating the re-epithelialization and wound contraction, and these membranes had no obvious toxicity toward normal tissues. Conclusion Therefore, the constructed nZnO/BCM has great potential for biomedical applications as an efficient antibacterial wound dressing.

Abstract
The interest in developing new materials intended for food packaging based on bacterial cellulose is growing in the recent years. Flexible and transparent films from bacterial cellulose-chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol have shown excellent UV-barrier properties. However, this material interacts with ambient moisture modifying its water activity due to its hydrophilic nature. In this work, a study was carried out to evaluate the changes caused by the water activity. Results showed a plasticizing effect of water molecules increasing the water vapor permeability of the samples from 1.86 × 10-12 to 1.17 × 10-11 g/m·s·Pa, percentage of elongation from 3.25 to 36.55%, and distance to burst from 0.64 to 5.12 mm. The increase of the water activity decreased the Young's modulus and tensile strength. The values of the UV-barrier were maintained at the wide range of water activity. Consequently, water molecules do not affect the UV-barrier properties of the films.

Abstract
A biocomposite composed of bacterial cellulose (BC) gel-film and Bacillus subtilis (BS) cells was obtained and characterized with a view to future biomedical applications. The inclusion of functional ingredient (1010/g viable BS cells) in the composite was carried out by their joint aggregation with the BC gel-film. Immobilized BS cells displayed high antagonistic activity towards causative agents of wound infections such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Application of the BC/BS-biocomposite for the treatment of excision wounds, performed on laboratory animals, stimulated reparative processes and shortened the healing time. Possible mechanisms of the wound-healing effect of BC/BS gel films are discussed. In this work we claim that the developed BC/BS-material can be positioned as a universal wound coating and sanitary-hygienic product.

Abstract
Bacterial Cellulose (BC) has over recent decades shown great versatility in wound healing dressings, but is difficult to spin fibers with at high concentrations. An investigation into the preparation of bandage-like fibrous meshes is carried out to determine the optimal blend of polycaprolactone (PCL) and polylactic acid (PLA) as a suitable carrier for BC. Using a simple centrifugal spinning setup, polymer blends of PCL, PLA and BC are investigated as a ternary system to determine the most suitable composition with a focus on achieving maximal BC concentration. It is found that BC content in the fibers above 10 wt % reduced product yield. By creating blends of PLA-PCL fibers, we can create a more suitable system in terms of yield and mechanical properties. The fibrous samples are examined for yield, fiber morphology using scanning electron microscopy, mechanical properties using tensile testing and chemical characteristics using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. A fibrous scaffold with > 30 wt % BC was produced with enhanced mechanical properties owing to the blending of PLA and PCL.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no cure. While there are many hypotheses, the exact mechanism causing this pathology is still unknown. Among many other features, AD is characterized by brain hypometabolism and decreased sugar availability, to which neurons eventually succumb. In light of this aspect of the disease, we hypothesized that boosting fuel supply to neurons may help them survive or at least alleviate some of the symptoms. Here we demonstrate that live moss Physcomitrella patens cells can be safely co-cultured with human fibroblasts in vitro and thus have a potential for providing human cells with energy and other vital biomolecules. These data may form the foundation for the development of novel approaches to metabolic bioengineering and treatment of diseased cells based on live plants. In addition, by providing alternative energy sources to human tissues, the biotechnological potential of this interkingdom setup could also serve as a springboard to foster innovative dietary processes addressing current challenges of mankind such as famine or supporting long-haul space flight.

Abstract
Hybrid wound dressings have been constructed using two biomaterials: bacterial cellulose (BC) and copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyric and 4-hydroxybutyric acids [P(3HB/4HB)] - a biodegradable polymer of microbial origin. Some of the experimental membranes were loaded with drugs promoting wound healing and epidermal cells differentiated from multipotent adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. A study has been carried out to investigate the structure and physical/mechanical properties of the membranes. The in vitro study showed that the most effective scaffolds for growing fibroblasts were composite BC/P(3HB/4HB) films loaded with actovegin. Two types of the experimental biotechnological wound dressings - BC/P(3HB/4HB)/actovegin and BC/P(3HB/4HB)/fibroblasts - were tested in vivo, on laboratory animals with model third-degree skin burns. Wound planimetry, histological examination, and biochemical and molecular methods of detecting factors of angiogenesis, inflammation, type I collagen, and keratin 10 and 14 were used to monitor wound healing. Experimental wound dressings promoted healing more effectively than VoskoPran - a commercial wound dressing.

Abstract
To mimic the natural structure of tissue extracellular matrix, a novel silk fibroin (SF)/hyaluronic acid (HA)/sodium alginate (SA) composite scaffold (92% in porosity) was prepared by freeze-drying. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectra indicated interactions among SF, HA, and SA molecules. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the prepared SF/HA/SA scaffold had soft, elastic characteristics, with an average pore diameter of 93 μm. Mechanical property, thermogravimetric analyses and degradation results indicated that the SF/HA/SA scaffold had good physical stability in body fluid and mechanical movement-related environments. Cell proliferation, morphological, and live-dead analyses showed that NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells were better able to attach, grow, and proliferate on the SF/HA/SA scaffold compared with SF, SF/HA, and SF/SA scaffolds. We evaluated the wound healing effects in a rat full-thickness burn model. The hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and Masson's trichrome staining results from SF/HA/SA scaffold showed that improved re-epithelialization, enhanced extracellular matrix remodeling. Our findings showed that the prepared SF/HA/SA scaffold can provide a potential way as a wound dressing for skin repair.

NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9020164. [PMID: 30699947 PMCID: PMC6410160 DOI: 10.3390/nano9020164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 148] [Impact Index Per Article: 29.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2018] [Revised: 01/08/2019] [Accepted: 01/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Nanocellulose is cellulose in the form of nanostructures, i.e., features not exceeding 100 nm at least in one dimension. These nanostructures include nanofibrils, found in bacterial cellulose; nanofibers, present particularly in electrospun matrices; and nanowhiskers, nanocrystals, nanorods, and nanoballs. These structures can be further assembled into bigger two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) nano-, micro-, and macro-structures, such as nanoplatelets, membranes, films, microparticles, and porous macroscopic matrices. There are four main sources of nanocellulose: bacteria (Gluconacetobacter), plants (trees, shrubs, herbs), algae (Cladophora), and animals (Tunicata). Nanocellulose has emerged for a wide range of industrial, technology, and biomedical applications, namely for adsorption, ultrafiltration, packaging, conservation of historical artifacts, thermal insulation and fire retardation, energy extraction and storage, acoustics, sensorics, controlled drug delivery, and particularly for tissue engineering. Nanocellulose is promising for use in scaffolds for engineering of blood vessels, neural tissue, bone, cartilage, liver, adipose tissue, urethra and dura mater, for repairing connective tissue and congenital heart defects, and for constructing contact lenses and protective barriers. This review is focused on applications of nanocellulose in skin tissue engineering and wound healing as a scaffold for cell growth, for delivering cells into wounds, and as a material for advanced wound dressings coupled with drug delivery, transparency and sensorics. Potential cytotoxicity and immunogenicity of nanocellulose are also discussed.

Abstract
In this mini-review, we highlight the potential of the biopolymer bacterial cellulose to treat damaged epithelial tissues. Epithelial tissues are cell sheets that delimitate both the external body surfaces and the internal cavities and organs. Epithelia serve as physical protection to underlying organs, regulate the diffusion of molecules and ions, secrete substances and filtrate body fluids, among other vital functions. Because of their continuous exposure to environmental stressors, damage to epithelial tissues is highly prevalent. Here, we first compare the properties of bacterial cellulose to the current gold standard, collagen, and then we examine the use of bacterial cellulose patches to heal specific epithelial tissues; the outer skin, the ocular surface, the oral mucosa and other epithelial surfaces. Special emphasis is made on the dermis since, to date, this is the most widespread medical use of bacterial cellulose. It is important to note that some epithelial tissues represent only the outermost layer of more complex structures such as the skin or the cornea. In these situations, depending on the penetration of the lesion, bacterial cellulose might also be involved in the regeneration of, for instance, inner connective tissue.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has shown high potential as innovative wound dressing and drug delivery system. Bringing both together, drug-loaded BC was investigated for applications in dental therapies such as dental extraction or mucosal transplantation. Both applications would benefit from a material which degrades under physiological conditions, and from an antibiotic environment. Consequently, periodate-oxidation of BC was investigated to facilitate modified degradation behaviour. A periodate concentration of 0.14 mol/L at ϑ = 25 °C and t = 8 h resulted in a material loss of <10%, but at the same time a sufficient degree of degradation. Additionally, native and oxidised BC loaded with doxycycline was tested for prophylaxis against infection. An in vitro-toxicity test (MTT assay) provided a first confirmation of biocompatibility, whereas agar diffusion tests proved antibiotic efficiency against pathogenic oral bacteria. Release studies of the drug from native and oxidised BC confirmed a comparative biphasic release behaviour.
