Abstract
Collagen's unique properties promise hemostatic potential, but its sponge form's stability and mechanics need improvement. In this study, we developed a series of homeostatic sponges by co-assembling collagen and curdlan at different ratios into hydrogels, followed by freeze-drying treatment. The incorporation of curdlan into collagen sponges has been found to significantly enhance the sponge's properties, including increased porosity, elevated water uptake, improved elasticity, and enhanced resistance to degradation. In vitro cytotoxicity and hemolysis assays have demonstrated the biocompatibility and nontoxicity of composite sponges. In mouse liver perforation and incision models, the composite sponges achieved rapid coagulation within 67 s and 75 s, respectively, outperforming gauze and gelatin sponge in reducing blood loss. Furthermore, composite sponges demonstrated superior wound healing potential in mice full-thickness skin defects model, with accelerated healing rates observed at days 3, 7, and 14 compared to the control group. Overall, collagen/curdlan composite sponge show promise for hemostasis and wound healing applications.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131233. [PMID: 38554907 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131233] [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: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
Full-thickness wounds are severe cutaneous damages with destroyed self-healing function, which need efficient clinical interventions. Inspired by the hierarchical structure of natural skin, we have for the first time developed a biomimetic tri-layered artificial skin (TLAS) comprising silica gel-collagen membrane-collagen porous scaffold for enhanced full-thickness wound healing. The TLAS with the thickness of 3-7 mm displays a hierarchical nanostructure consisting of the top homogeneous silica gel film, the middle compact collagen membrane, and the bottom porous collagen scaffold, exquisitely mimicking the epidermis, basement membrane and dermis of natural skin, respectively. The 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide/N-Hydroxysuccinimide-dehydrothermal (EDC/NHS-DHT) dual-crosslinked collagen composite bilayer, with a crosslinking degree of 79.5 %, displays remarkable biocompatibility, bioactivity, and biosafety with no risk of hemolysis and pyrogen reactions. Notably, the extra collagen membrane layer provides a robust barrier to block the penetration of silica gel into the collagen porous scaffold, leading to the TLAS with enhanced biocompatibility and bioactivity. The full-thickness wound rat model studies have indicated the TLAS significantly facilitates the regeneration of full-thickness defects by accelerating re-epithelization, collagen deposition and migration of skin appendages. The highly biocompatible and bioactive tri-layered artificial skin provides an improved treatment for full-thickness wounds, which has great potential in tissue engineering.

Emulgel based on fish skin collagen-microalgae-silver increased neovascularization and re-epithelialization of full thickness burn in rats. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2024; 112:e35399.

Abstract
Deep skin burn represents a global morbidity and mortality problem, and the limitation of topical treatment agents has motivated research to development new formulations capable of preventing infections and accelerating healing. The aim of this work was to develop and characterize an emulgel based on collagen (COL) and gelatin (GEL) extracted from fish skin associated with Chlorella vulgaris extract (CE) and silver nitrate (AgNO3). COL and GEL were characterized by physicochemical and thermal analyses; and CE by electrophoresis and its antioxidant capacity. Three emulgels formulations were developed: COL (0.5%) + GEL (2.5%) (E1), COL+GEL+CE (1%) (E2), and COL+GEL+CE + AgNO3 (0.1%) (E3). All formulations were characterized by physicochemical, rheology assays, and preclinical analyses: cytotoxicity (in vitro) and healing potential using a burn model in rats. COL and GEL showed typical physicochemical characteristics, and CE presented 1.3 mg/mL of proteins and antioxidant activity of 76%. Emulgels presented a coherent physicochemical profile and pseudoplastic behavior. Preclinical analysis showed concentration-dependent cytotoxicity against fibroblast and keratinocytes. In addition, all emulgels induced similar percentages of wound contraction and complete wound closure in 28 days. The histopathological analysis showed higher scores for polymorphonuclear cells to E1 and greater neovascularization and re-epithelialization to E3. Then, E3 formulation has potential to improve burn healing, although its use in a clinical setting requires further studies.

Abstract
Tissue engineered skin equivalents are increasingly recognized as potential alternatives to traditional skin models such as human ex vivo skin or animal skin models. However, most of the currently investigated human skin equivalents (HSEs) are constructed using mammalian collagen which can be expensive and difficult to extract. Fish skin is a waste product produced by fish processing industries and identified as a cost-efficient and sustainable source of type I collagen. In this work, we describe a method for generating highly stable HSEs based on fibrin fortified tilapia fish collagen. The fortified fish collagen (FFC) formulation is optimized to enable reproducible fabrication of full-thickness HSEs that undergo limited contraction, facilitating the incorporation of human donor-derived skin cells and formation of biomimetic dermal and epidermal layers. The morphology and barrier function of the FFC HSEs are compared with a commercial skin model and validated with immunohistochemical staining and transepithelial electrical resistance testing. Finally, the potential of a high throughput screening platform with FFC HSE is explored by scaling down its fabrication to 96-well format.

Abstract
Bone, a mineralized tissue, continuously undergoes remodeling. It is a process that engages the mineralization and demineralization of the bone matrix, orchestrated by the interactions among cells and cell-secreted biomolecules under the bone ionic microenvironment (BIE). The osteoinductive properties of the demineralized organic bone matrix and many biological factors have been well-investigated. However, the impact of the bone ionic environment on cell differentiation and osteogenesis remains largely unknown. In this study, we extracted and isolated inorganic bone components (bone-derived monetite, BM) using a low-temperature method and, for the first time, investigated whether the BIE could actively affect cell differentiation and regulate osteoimmune reactions. It was evidenced that the BIE could foster the osteogenesis of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) and promote hBMSCs mineralization without using osteogenic inductive agents. Interestingly, it was noted that BIE resulted in intracellular mineralization, evidenced by intracellular accumulation of carbonate hydroxyapatite similar to that oberved in osteoblasts cultured in osteoinductive media. Additionally, BIE was found to enhance osteogenesis by generating a favorable osteoimmune environment. In a rat calvarial bone defect model, the osteogenic capacity of BIE was evaluated using a collagen type I-impregnated BM (Col-BM) composite. It showed that Col-BM significantly promoted new bone formation in the critical-size bone defect areas. Taken together, this is the first study that investigated the influence of the BIE on osteogenesis, osteoimmunology, and in situ bone tissue engineering. The innate osteoinductive potential of inorganic bone components, both in vitro and in vivo, not only expands the understanding of the BIE on osteogenesis but also benefits future biomaterials engineering for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Membrane materials were widely used in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) to prevent fibroblast invasion and form a confined area for preferentially growing of osteoblast. A novel collagen-hyaluronate composite gradient membrane was prepared by Tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) skin collagen and sodium hyaluronate for potential GTR applications and their bioactivities were investigated by cellular viability. SEM results indicated the membrane showed a dense outer and a porous inner surface for effectively guiding the growth of bone tissue. Physicochemical and biosafety experiments showed the tensile strength of membrane was 466.57 ± 44.31 KPa and contact angle was 74.11°, and the membrane showed perfect biocompatibility and cytocompatibility as well, which met the requirements of GTR material. Cell morphology revealed that the membrane could facilitate the adherence and proliferation of fibroblast and osteoblast. The results of qRT-PCR and ELISA demonstrated that the membrane could effectively activate TGF-β/Smad pathway in fibroblast, and promote the expressions of TGF-β1, FN1 and VEGF. Remarkably, RUNX2 was stimulated in BMP2 pathway by the membrane to regulate osteoblast differentiation. In summary, the collagen-hyaluronate composite gradient membrane not only fulfills the prerequisites for use as a GTR material but also demonstrates substantial potential for practical applications in the field.

Abstract
The degradation of collagen in different body parts is a critical point for designing collagen-based biomedical products. Here, three kinds of collagens labeled by second near-infrared (NIR-II) quantum dots (QDs), including collagen with low crosslinking degree (LC), middle crosslinking degree (MC) and high crosslinking degree (HC), were injected into the subcutaneous tissue, muscle and joints of the mouse model, respectively, in order to investigate the in vivo degradation pattern of collagen by NIR-II live imaging. The results of NIR-II imaging indicated that all tested collagens could be fully degraded after 35 days in the subcutaneous tissue, muscle and joints of the mouse model. However, the average degradation rate of subcutaneous tissue (k = 0.13) and muscle (k = 0.23) was slower than that of the joints (shoulder: k = 0.42, knee: k = 0.55). Specifically, the degradation rate of HC (k = 0.13) was slower than LC (k = 0.30) in muscle, while HC showed the fastest degradation rate in the shoulder and knee joints. In summary, NIR-II imaging could precisely identify the in vivo degradation rate of collagen. Moreover, the degradation rate of collagen was more closely related to the implanted body parts rather than the crosslinking degree of collagen, which was slower in the subcutaneous tissue and muscle compared to the joints in the mouse model.

Abstract
Common commercial porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) products take the form of a thin membrane. Given its dense structure, delaying vascularization after implantation remains an issue to be solved. In addition, overlaying multiple sheets to address deep wounds and large tissue defects that are difficult to repair by self-tissues could hinder tissue ingrowth, angiogenesis, and integration. Here, we creatively prepared PADM microparticles through a homogenizing treatment and crosslinked them to ADM sponges by thermal crosslinking (VT-ADM) and thermal-glutaraldehyde crosslinking (GA-ADM). The resulting VT-ADM was thicker than GA-ADM, and both maintained the natural dermal matrix microstructure and thermal stability. The porosity of GA-ADM (mean 82%) was lower than that of VT-ADM (mean 90.2%), but the mechanical strength and hydrophilicity were significantly higher. The two types of ADM sponges showed no obvious difference in cell adhesion and proliferation without cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the human adipose stem cells were co-cultured with ADM sponges which promoted proliferation, tube formation, and migration of endothelial cells, and the GA-ADM group exhibited better migration behavior. There were no markable differences among expressions of pro-angiogenesis genes, including vascular endothelial growth factor, insulin-like growth factor-1, and epidermal growth factor. In a nude mouse model, the VT-ADM and GA-ADM pre-cultured with human adipose stem cells for 1 week in advance were implanted subcutaneously. The VT-ADM and the GA-ADM showed great histocompatibility without local redness, swelling, or necrosis. The vascular density of the local skin flap above the material was visualized using indocyanine green and showed no statistical difference between the two groups. The collagen tissue deposition in the pores and vessel formation within the sponges increased with time. Although VT-ADM had a higher degradation rate in vivo, the integrity of the two scaffolds was preserved. Collectively, the VT-ADM and the GA-ADM retained a natural matrix structure and presented biocompatibility. Thus, the above-mentioned two crosslinking methods for ADM sponges are safe and practicable. The novel ADM sponges with good physicochemical and biological properties are no longer limited to membrane tissue regeneration but could also realize structure remodeling where they act as scaffolds for a soft tissue filler and three-dimensional reconstruction of the tissue with strength requirements.

Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 213:639-650. [PMID: 35671907 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.06.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2022] [Revised: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Chemical cross-linking is an important step to grant satisfying properties to collagen-based materials. However, there are few comparative studies on crossing-linking of collagen-based fibrillar gels which are preferred biomaterials for similar properties to native tissues with different cross-linking agents. In this study, a fibrillar gel was fabricated with tilapia collagen and hyaluronic acid, and cross-linking conditions with EDC/NHS and genipin were discussed. Genipin gave gels much higher equilibrium cross-linking degree than EDC/NHS. ATR-FTIR and XPS showed EDC/NHS offered short-range cross-linking formed by amino and carboxyl groups in fibrils, while genipin induced long-range cross-linking by nucleophilic reaction through attack of amino groups in fibrils on carbon atoms at C-3 as well as ester groups in genipin, besides improved hydrogen bonds. XRD and SEM revealed the structural integrity of gels was strengthened after cross-linking, whereas fibril bundles disaggregated into thin fibrils. Consequently, swelling capacity and anti-degraded property were enhanced significantly, while thermal stability weakened. The fibrillar gels had good biocompatibility, but interestingly the appearance and migration of L929 fibroblasts were influenced by cross-linking degree. These results demonstrated that aquatic collagen-based fibrillar gel cross-linked by genipin had greater potential in biomaterials than EDC/NHS, whereas the cross-linking degree should be controlled.

Abstract
Wound healing-associated difficulties continue to drive biotechnological creativeness into complex grounds. The sophisticated architecture of skin wound sites and the intricate processes involved in the response to the use of regenerative devices play a critical role in successful skin regeneration approaches and their possible outcomes. Due to a plethora of complications involved in wound healing processes as well as the coordination of various cellular mechanisms, biomimetic approaches seems to be the most promising starting ground. This study evaluates the behavior of a crosslinked, porous collagen scaffold obtained by lyophilization and dehydrothermal reticulation (DHT). We address the key physio-chemical and mechanical factors, such as swelling, density and porosity, mechano-dynamic properties, SEM and TG-DSC, as well as important biological outcomes regarding scaffold biocompatibility and cellular metabolic activity, cytokine expression in inflammation, apoptosis and necrosis, as well as hemocompatibility and biodegradation. The mechanical and visco-elastic behavior are correlated, with the samples found to present similar thermal behavior and increased rigidity after DHT treatment. High biocompatibility rates were obtained, with no inflammatory stimulation and a reduction in necrotic cells. Higher percentages of cellular early apoptosis were observed. The hemocompatibility rate was under 2%, coagulation effects expressed after 4 min, and the DHT scaffold was more resistant to the biodegradation of collagenase compared with the untreated sample.

Abstract
Despite increasing potentials as a skin regeneration template (DRT) to guide tissue healing, acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is still challenged by issues (like dense architecture, low cellular adhesion and poor vascularization), contributing to necrosis and shedding of upper transplanted skins. Modified with polydopamine (PDA), a novel and porous DRT capable of drug delivery was designed using porcine-derived ADM (PADMS) gels, termed PDA-PADMS. However, it was unclear whether it could efficiently deliver human acidic fibroblast growth factor (a-FGF) and regenerate skin defects. Herein, after being fabricated and optimized with PADMS gels in different ratios (1:6, 1:7, 1:8), PDA-PADMS loading a-FGF (PDA-PADMS-FGF) was evaluated by the morphology, physical& chemical properties, drug release and in-vitro biological evaluations, followed by full-thickness skin defects implanted with PDA-PADMS-FGF covered by transplanted skins. Apart from containing abundant collagen and elastin, porous PADMS (with a loose and uniform structure) was demonstrated to possess controlled release of a-FGF and biocompatibility attributed to PDA coating. Consistent with augmented cellular migration and proliferation in vitro, PDA-PADMS-FGF also accelerated wound healing and reduced scarring, improving collagen arrangement and neovascularization. In conclusion, PDA-PADMS-FGF has a good potential and application prospect as a matrix material for wound repair.

Abstract
In recent years, bioprinting has attracted much attention as a potential tool for generating complex 3D biological constructs capable of mimicking the native tissue microenvironment and promoting physiologically relevant cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The aim of the present study was to develop a crosslinked 3D printable hydrogel based on biocompatible natural polymers, gelatin and xanthan gum at different percentages to be used both as a scaffold for cell growth and as a wound dressing. The CellInk Inkredible 3D printer was used for the 3D printing of hydrogels, and a glutaraldehyde solution was tested for the crosslinking process. We were able to obtain two kinds of printable hydrogels with different porosity, swelling and degradation time. Subsequently, the printed hydrogels were characterized from the point of view of biocompatibility. Our results showed that gelatin/xanthan-gum bioprinted hydrogels were biocompatible materials, as they allowed both human keratinocyte and fibroblast in vitro growth for 14 days. These two bioprintable hydrogels could be also used as a helpful dressing material.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of the study was to fabricate collagen-based composite dressings, evaluate the efficiency for wound healing and reveal the mechanism of promoting wound healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS An innovative bi-layered composite wound dressing was developed using two marine biomacromolecules (collagen and chitosan). Full-thickness skin defect model was performed to evaluate the wound healing activity in vivo. The levels of inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8) and growth factors like transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), vascular epidermal growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were quantified by ELISA assays. The total amount of collagen was quantified by hydroxyproline content. The proliferation and viability of fibroblast cells cultured on collagen sponges were determined by CCK-8 assay. RESULTS The results of wound closure and histopathological analysis indicated that non-crosslinked collagen-based bi-layered composite dressing stimulated wound healing, accelerated re-epithelialization and accomplished wound healing within a time span of 28 days. The results of levels of inflammatory cytokines and growth factors showed that collagen-based composite dressings could reduce the inflammatory response and upregulate growth factors levels to accelerate the wound healing. The results of hydroxyproline content and CCK-8 assay indicated that collagen-based composite dressings could also promote collagen synthesis and fibroblasts viability and proliferation. CONCLUSION The non-crosslinked collagen-based bi-layered composite dressing could be applied for an efficient and ideal wound dressing. Therefore, the findings provided the essential theoretical basis for the potential of collagen-based composite dressing applied in wound healing fields.

Abstract
Titanium is widely utilized for manufacturing medical implants due to its inherent mechanical strength and biocompatibility. Recent studies have focused on developing coatings to impart unique properties to Ti implants, such as antimicrobial behavior, enhanced cell adhesion, and osteointegration. Ca- and Si-based ceramic (CS) coatings can enhance bone integration through the release of Ca and Si ions. However, high degradation rates of CS ceramics create a basic environment that reduces cell viability. Polymeric or protein-based coatings may be employed to modulate CS degradation. However, it is challenging to ensure coating stability over extended periods of time without compromising biocompatibility. In this study, we employed a fluorous-cured collagen shell as a drug-loadable scaffold around CS nanorod coatings on Ti implants. Fluorous-cured collagen coatings have enhanced mechanical and enzymatic stability and are able to regulate the release of Ca and Si ions. Furthermore, the collagen scaffold was loaded with antimicrobial peptides to impart antimicrobial activity while promoting cell adhesion. These multifunctional collagen coatings simultaneously regulate the degradation of CS ceramics and enhance antimicrobial activity, while maintaining biocompatibility.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of the current study was to develop collagen-based bi-layered composite dressings with antibacterial property and evaluate the efficiency for wound healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS A bi-layered composite wound dressing was fabricated using two marine biomacromolecules (collagen and chitosan or carboxymethyl chitosan). Non-crosslinked and N-Ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-Hydroxy succinimide (EDC/NHS) cross-linked collagen sponges fabricated by vacuum freeze-drying technology was used as the inner layer. The medical spun-laced nonwoven coated with chitosan and carboxymethyl chitosan was used as the outer layer. The antibacterial activities against E. coli and S. aureus were evaluated by the inhibition zone assay. Deep second-degree scald model was performed to evaluate the efficiency of bi-layered composite dressings for wound healing. RESULTS In view of comprehensive evaluation of appearance and in vitro antibacterial activity, medical spun-laced nonwoven coated with 3% of chitosan solution was chosen to be used as the optimized preparation conditions to produce the outer layer of composite dressing, which acted as a barrier against microorganisms and provided mechanical support. Furthermore, the results of wound closure and histopathological analysis indicated that EDC/NHS cross-linked collagen-based bi-layered composite dressing was superior to non-crosslinked and commercial products, which stimulated the wound healing process and accomplished deep second-degree scalded skin healing within a time span of 28 days. CONCLUSION The EDC/NHS cross-linked collagen-based bi-layered composite dressing had immense potential to be applied for an ideal wound dressing for more efficient and faster wound healing. Therefore, the findings provided the essential theoretical basis for great potential of collagen-based composite dressing used in wound healing applications.

Abstract
For tissue engineering applications, biodegradable scaffolds containing high molecular weights (MW) of collagen and sodium alginate have been developed and characterized. However, the properties of low MW collagen-based scaffolds have not been studied in previous research. This work examined the distinctive properties of low MW collagen-based scaffolds with alginate unmodified and modified by subcritical water. Besides, we developed a facile method to cross-link water-soluble scaffolds using glutaraldehyde in an aqueous ethanol solution. The prepared cross-linked scaffolds showed good structural properties with high porosity (~93%) and high cross-linking degree (50–60%). Compared with collagen (6000 Da)-based scaffolds, collagen (25,000 Da)-based scaffolds exhibited higher stability against collagenase degradation and lower weight loss in phosphate buffer pH 7.4. Collagen (25,000 Da)-based scaffolds with modified alginate tended to improve antioxidant capacity compared with scaffolds containing unmodified alginate. Interestingly, in vitro coagulant activity assay demonstrated that collagen (25,000 Da)-based scaffolds with modified alginate (C25-A63 and C25-A21) significantly reduced the clotting time of human plasma compared with scaffolds consisting of unmodified alginate. Although some further investigations need to be done, collagen (25,000 Da)-based scaffolds with modified alginate should be considered as a potential candidate for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Mesoscaled assemblies are organized in native collagen tissues to achieve remarkable and diverse performance and functions. In this work, a facile, low-cost, and controllable liquid exfoliation method was applied to directly extract these collagen mesostructures from bovine Achilles tendons using a sodium hydroxide (NaOH)/urea aqueous system with freeze-thaw cycles and sonication. A series of collagen fibrils with diameters of 26-230 nm were harvested using this process, and in situ observations under polarizing microscopy (POM) and using molecular dynamics simulations revealed the influence of the NaOH/urea system on the tendon collagen. FTIR and XRD results confirmed that these collagen fibrils preserved typical structural characteristics of type I collagen. These isolated collagen fibrils were then utilized as building blocks to fabricate free-standing collagen membranes, which exhibited good stability in solvents and outstanding mechanical properties and transparency, with potential for utility in optical and electronic sensors. Moreover, in vitro and vivo evaluations demonstrated that these new resulting collagen membranes had good cytocompatibility, biocompatibility, and degradability for potential applications in biomedicine. This work provides a new approach for collagen processing by liquid exfoliation with utility for the formation of robust collagen materials that consist of native collagen mesostructures as building blocks.

Abstract
Proteins are naturally occurring functional building blocks that are useful for the fabrication of materials. Naturally-occurring proteins are biodegradable and most are biocompatible and non-toxic, making them attractive for the fabrication of biomaterials. Moreover, the fabrication of protein-based materials can be conducted in a green and sustainable manner due to their high aqueous solubility. Consequently, the applicability of protein-based materials is limited by their aqueous and mechanical instability. This review summarizes strategies for the stabilization of protein films, highlighting their salient features and potential limitations. Applications of protein films ranging from food packaging materials, tissue engineering scaffolds, antimicrobial coatings etc. are also discussed. Finally, the need for robust and efficient fabrication strategies for translation to commercial applications as well as potential applications of protein films in the field of sensing, diagnostics and controlled release systems are discussed.

Abstract
Collagen is an important component that makes 25-35% of our body proteins. Over the past decades, tissue engineers have been designing collagen-based biocompatible materials and studying their applications in different fields. Collagen obtained from cattle and pigs has been mainly used until now, but collagen derived from fish and other livestock has attracted more attention since the outbreak of mad cow disease, and they are also used as a raw material for cosmetics and foods. Due to the zoonotic infection using collagen derived from pigs and cattle, their application in developing biomaterials is limited; hence, the development of new animal-derived collagen is required. In addition, there is a religion (Islam, Hinduism, and Judaism) limited to export raw materials and products derived from cattle and pig. Hence, high-value collagen that is universally accessible in the world market is required. Therefore, in this review, we have dealt with the use of duck's feet-derived collagen (DC) as an emerging alternative to solve this problem and also presenting few original investigated bone regeneration results performed using DC.

Abstract
Collagen I (Col-I) is widely used in the fabrication of biomaterials due to its biocompatibility; however, Col-I based biomaterials are susceptible to mechanical failure during handling, which limits their applicability to biomaterials. Chemical or physical treatment can improve the mechanical properties of collagen; however, these processes can create issues of cytotoxicity or denaturation. We report here an alternative strategy to improve the stability and mechanical properties of Col-I while preserving its native structure, through thermal treatment in fluorous media. Thermal treatment of Col-I in fluorous solvent generates compact, stable films with significantly increased mechanical strength. Furthermore, the use of fluorous media significantly reduces the extent of swelling and the rate of proteolytic degradation, but it preserves the high cell biocompatibility.

Abstract
Based on the excellent biocompatibility of collagen, collagen was extracted from pig skin by acid-enzymatic method. The films were prepared by the self-aggregation behavior of collagen, and the catalase was immobilized by adsorption, cross-linking and embedding. The experiment investigated the effects of glutaraldehyde on the mechanical properties, external sensory properties, and denaturation temperature of the films. The results showed that self-aggregating material could maintain the triple helix structure of pig skin collagen. The self-aggregation treatment and cross-linking treatment can improve the mechanical properties to 53 MPa, while the glutaraldehyde cross-linking agent can increase the denaturation temperature of the pig skin collagen self-aggregating membrane by 20.35% to 84.48 °C. This means that its application to immobilized catalase has better stability. The comparison shows that the catalase immobilized by the adsorption method has strong activity and high operational stability, and the cross-linking agent glutaraldehyde and the initial enzyme concentration have a significant effect on the immobilization, and the activity can reach 175 U g−1. After 16 uses of the film, the catalase was completely inactivated. This study provides a reference for the preparation of a catalase sensor that can be used to detect hydrogen peroxide in food by a catalase sensor. Based on the excellent biocompatibility of collagen, collagen was extracted from pig skin by acid-enzymatic method.![]()

Abstract
Many research studies are directed toward developing safe and efficient collagen-based biomaterials as carriers for drug delivery systems. This article presents a comparative study of the properties of new collagen sponges prepared and characterized by different methods intended for biomedical applications. The structural integrity is one of the main properties for a biomaterial in order for it to be easily removed from the treated area. Thus, the effect of combining a natural polymer such as collagen with an antimicrobial drug such as oxytetracycline or doxycycline and glutaraldehyde as the chemical cross-linking agent influences the cross-linking degree of the material, which is in direct relation to its resistance to collagenase digestion, the drug kinetic release profile, and in vitro biocompatibility. The enzymatic degradation results identified oxytetracycline as the best inhibitor of collagenase when the collagen sponge was cross-linked with 0.5% glutaraldehyde. The drug release kinetics revealed an extended release of the antibiotic for oxytetracycline-loaded collagen sponges compared with doxycycline-loaded collagen sponges. Considering the behavior of differently prepared sponges, the collagen sponge with oxytetracycline and 0.5% glutaraldehyde could represent a viable polymeric support for the prevention/treatment of infections at the application site, favoring tissue regeneration.
