Adoption of DNA-based Nanocomposite Hydrogels in Drug Delivery and Regeneration Therapy Applications comments

by Arghya Paul
Purpose The objective of this project was to deliver a unique malleable DNA-based hydrogel scaffold that can easily be injected by orthopedic surgeons, will set and integrate to the injured site after placement, and will be resorbed over time as it induces rapid in situ tissue regeneration via sustained delivery of osteoinductive drugs...

Biomimetic Remineralization of Completely Demineralized Dentine Using Nanocomplexes of Carboxymethyl Chitosan/amorphous Calcium Phosphate comments

by Xu Zhang
Currently, it is still a tough task for dentists to remineralize dentine in deep caries. The aim of this study was to remineralize human completely demineralized dentine using nanocomplexes of carboxymethyl chitosan amorphous calcium phosphate CMC ACP based on mimicking the stabilizing effect of dentine matrix protein 1 DMP1 on ACP in the biomineralization of dentine...
