Cytotoxicity and Inflammatory Effects of Chitin Nanofibrils Isolated from Fungi
Fungal nanochitin can assist the transition from the linear fossil-based economy to a circular biobased economy given its environmental benefits over conventional crustacean-nanochitin. Its real-world implementation requires ... -
Lactide and Ethylene Brassylate-Based Thermoplastic Elastomers and Their Nanocomposites with Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis, Mechanical Properties and Interaction with Astrocytes
Bello Álvarez, Carlos; Etxeberria Lizarraga, Agustín ; Polo Arroyabe, Yurena; Sarasua Oiz, José Ramón ; Zuza Hernandez, Ester; Larrañaga Espartero, Aitor (MDPI, 2022-11-01)Polylactide (PLA) is among the most commonly used polymers for biomedical applications thanks to its biodegradability and cytocompatibility. However, its inherent stiffness and brittleness are clearly inappropriate for the ... -
Thermoplastic elastomers based on lactide and caprolactone: The influence of chain microstructure on surface topography and subsequent interaction with cells
Bello Álvarez, Carlos; Atxa Ainz, Blanca; Muñoz Ugartemendia, Jone ; Sebastián, Laura; Etxeberria Lizarraga, Agustín ; Sarasua Oiz, José Ramón ; Zuza Hernández, Ester; Larrañaga Espartero, Aitor (Elsevier, 2023-11)Surface biophysical properties of biomaterials, including surface topography and roughness, determine the interaction of a biomaterial with the surrounding cells, tissues and organs once implanted in the human body. Herein, ...
