Carboxylated-xyloglucan and peptide amphiphile co-assembly in wound healing.
Abstract Hydrogel wound dressings can play critical roles in wound healing protecting the wound from trauma or contamination and providing an ideal environment to support the growth of endogenous cells and promote wound closure. This work presents a self-assembling hydrogel dressing that can assist the wound repair process mimicking the hierarchical structure of skin extracellular matrix. To this aim, the co-assembly behaviour of a carboxylated variant of xyloglucan (CXG) with a peptide amphiphile (PA-H3) has been investigated to generate hierarchical constructs with tuneable molecular composition, structure, and properties. Transmission electron microscopy and circular dichroism at a low c…
BLAST Database with all accesible non-tuberculous mycobacteria genomic sequences (Oct, 2018)
In our work "Towards next generation diagnostics for tuberculosis: identification of novel molecular targets by large-scale comparative genomics" (https://doi.org/10.1101/569384 ). We look for M. tuberculosis genes that are not present in organisms other tan MTBC. This database corresponds with the described database of 4,277 NTM assemblies.
