Casein molecules are used in food industry as ingredients. They can be used as isolated
forms and under micellar form consisting in an association of different casein molecules and …

Cancer is a global health challenge. There are drawbacks to conventional chemotherapy
such as poor bioavailability, development of drug resistance and severe side effects. Novel …

Natural polymers are of great interest in the biomedical field due to their intrinsic properties
such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity. Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly …

Surface modification of biomaterials is a well‐known approach to enable an adequate
biointerface between the implant and the surrounding tissue, dictating the initial acceptance …

This work is the first reporting the use of layer-by-layer to produce adhesive free-standing
(FS) films fully produced using natural-based macromolecules: chitosan (CHI), alginate …

Engineering metabolically demanding tissues requires the supply of nutrients, oxygen, and
removal of metabolic byproducts, as well as adequate mechanical properties. In this work …

Many connective tissue diseases and defects are associated with poor synthesis or
excessive degradation of collagen. The modern tissue engineering approach is to replace …

Collagen and elastin are the two most abundant proteins in the human body, and as
biomaterials offer fascinating properties to composite materials. More detailed investigations …

Chitosan (CHI), a biocompatible and biodegradable polysaccharide with the ability to
provide a non-protein matrix for tissue growth, is considered to be an ideal material in the …

Providing affinity sites on alginate (ALG) matrix enables specific binding of growth factors to
the polymer backbone and allows their release in a controlled fashion. In this study, we used …
