Biocompatibility and staining properties of CdSe\CdS\SiO2 nanoparticles for in-vitro biomaterials characterization
2015
Semiconductor nanocrystals, known as quantum dots (QDs) display well-tuned emission spectra from ultraviolet to the infrared region. Their photostability is greatly enhanced compared to fluorophores making them suitable for optical bio-imaging. In this work we have studied the cytocompatibility of CdSe\CdS\SiO2 QDs towards bovine articular chondrocytes in order to establish if these nanoparticles could be used as staining system forcells in tissue engineering purposes. Studies of QDs uptake and cell viability were conducted through morphology evaluation and MTS test. The adhesion behavior of chondrocytes deposited onto scaffolds of a derivative of hyaluronic acid functionalized with octadec…

La salute delle strutture molli e dure del cavo orale è essenziale non solo per preservare le funzioni ad esse direttamente associate, ma anche per promuovere la salute generale dell’organismo. Tra le problematiche di maggiore interesse clinico a carico della cavità orale ritroviamo: i) le complicazioni post-operatorie che possono verificarsi a seguito di comuni avulsioni dentali che, se non trattate tempestivamente, possono sfociare in gravi parodontiti; ii) i fenomeni di osteonecrosi a carico di mascella e mandibola associate a trattamenti farmacologici nonché alla radioterapia; iii) il carcinoma orale a cellule squamose (OSCC) che è tra i più aggressivi tumori del collo e della testa, ca…
Grapefruit IntegroPectin isolation via spray drying and via freeze drying: A comparison
2022
The comparison of grapefruit IntegroPectin powders isolated via spray drying and via freeze drying in terms of phenolic content, quantification of the most representative flavonoids (naringin and hesperidin), radical scavenging activity, total protein content and pH of the aqueous solutions provides relevant information. Except for the protein content and the antioxidant power, the two drying methods afford similar pectins. Optimization of the spray drying parameters allowed to maximize the yield of isolated pectin that nearly approached (>95%) the quantitative yield obtained via freeze drying.
