Biodegradable Inverse Opals with Controlled Discoloration

Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2018
AbstractColloidal crystals and their derivatives possess photonic bandgap property, being useful in various applications, including structural coloration and colorimetric sensing. In this work, inverse opals made of a biodegradable polymer, poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA), are prepared to provide a controlled discoloration.

Copper-containing mesoporous bioactive glass promotes angiogenesis in an in vivo zebrafish model [PDF]

, 2017
The osteogenic and angiogenic responses of organisms to the ionic products of degradation of bioactive glasses (BGs) are being intensively investigated. The promotion of angiogenesis by copper (Cu) has been known for more than three decades. This element

Biodegradable hollow fibres for the controlled release of drugs [PDF]

Biomaterials, 1988
Biodegradable hollow fibres of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) filled with a suspension of the contraceptive hormone levonorgestrel in castor oil were implanted subcutaneously in rats to study the rate of drug release, rate of biodegradation and tissue reaction caused by the implant.

The Deep-Sea Microbial Community from the Amazonian Basin Associated with Oil Degradation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
One consequence of oil production is the possibility of unplanned accidental oil spills; therefore, it is important to evaluate the potential of indigenous microorganisms (both prokaryotes and eukaryotes) from different oceanic basins to degrade oil. The
