Abstract

A system was designed to utilize silk fibroin (SF) as a matrix for wound dressing. For this system, we prepared a sponge type of porous semi-interpenetrating networks (SIPNs) hydrogel composed of SF and poloxamer 407 macromer to enhance the mechanical and functional properties of SF. The thermal and mechanical properties of the hydrogels as well as their swelling behaviors were studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry, compressive modulus measurement, and gravimetric method, respectively. The morphology and crystalline structure of these SIPN hydrogels were also investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and wide-angle diffractometry, respectively. Conformational change of SF from random coil to beta-sheet structure was accelerated by formation of SIPNs with poloxamer. The melting temperature of poloxamer in the SIPNs decreased due to the prevention of crystallization by the incorporation of SF. The mechanical strength of SIPNs hydrogel was much higher than those of SF itself or SF/poloxamer blend and increased with the poloxamer content. The equilibrium water content of SF was remarkably increased by formation of SIPNs with poloxamer due to the hydrophilicity of poloxamer. The crystallinity and morphology ...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
