EVALUATION OF TOXICITY, LOCAL BIOCOMPATIBILITY, BIODEGRADATION, AND SYSTEMIC METABOLISM OF CELLULOSE/ALGINATE/STRONTIUM APATITE MEMBRANES IMPLANTED SUBCUTANEOUSLY IN MICE

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate membranes originating from pure or oxidized bacterial cellulose (BC)/alginate/strontium apatite hydrogels regarding toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradation and metabolism.Methods: The toxicity was measured by incubating the materials with Artemia salina for 24 h, and mortality and the 50% lethal concentration were d

In recognition of the increased risk here to national resilience from flooding, we provide an overview of recent and future improvements to flood risk forecasting and communication at the Flood Forecasting Centre (FFC).We draw on the analysis of fluvial and surface water flooding across England and Wales in 2021 to highlight these areas of improvem

During the last few years, adenoviral gene transfer techniques have achieved increasing interest in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.However, gene therapy requires that delivered genes are translated into proteins.This may pose a problem in focal ischemia where protein synthesis is compromized.The present study was conducted to find out
