Skin wounds have been a public health concern of high frequency, in addition to requiring intensive and expensive care. The natural rubber latex (NRL) from Hancornia speciosa Gomes has been used to treat many problems in ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical use of the natural latex biomembrane in diaphragmatic injuries produced experimentally in rabbits. Fifteen healthy adult male and female New Zealand rabbits were employed. ...

Background: Cellulose biomembranes may be used for difficult-to-treat ulcers. Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of cellulose biomem-branes compared to a collagenase dressing for the treatment of chronic venous ...

Aim The aim of the present study was to develop a bovine pericardium biomembrane (BPB) and to evaluate pulp response in vivo. Methods A double-layer bovine BPB/chitosan was manufactured, and the porous chitosan side was ...

Natural rubber latex (NRL) is a flexible biomembrane that possesses angiogenic properties and has recently been used for guided bone regeneration, enhancing healing without fibrous tissue, allergies or rejection. Calcium ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical use of the natural latex biomembrane in diaphragmatic injuries produced experimentally in rabbits. Fifteen healthy adult male and female New Zealand rabbits were employed. ...

Cell membranes are the first barriers for drug binding and key for the action of photosensitizers (PS). Herein, we report on the incorporation of the PS hypericin into Langmuir monolayers of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3- ...

We report the synthesis and characterization of a simple nonionic azoamphiphile, C12OazoE3OH, which behaves as an optically controlled molecule alone and in a biomembrane environment. First, Langmuir monolayer and Brewster ...

Skin wound infection requires carefully long-term treatment with an immense financial burden to healthcare systems worldwide. Various strategies such as drug delivery systems using polymer matrix from natural source have ...
