Exploring Bacterial Interactions of Expanded-PTFE in the Presence of PVP-coated Silver Nanoparticles, Peptides p753 and p359 in 2D and 3D models

Finkle M., Meléndez Navarro P., Vig K., University of Nevada-Las Vegas, US

Tissue engineering is recognized as an avenue to improve treatment for various diseases. Expanded-PTFE (ePTFE) has gained popularity as a tissue scaffold to develop a vascular graft for generating blood vessels in cardiac surgeries. However, [...]

Bacteria Inhibitory Action of Peptides P753 and P359 in 2D and 3D Cell Cultures

Masuda J., Vig K., University of Hawaii at Manoa, US

The current study investigated two proprietary peptides, p359 and p753, for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E.Coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of bacteria for p359 and p753 was 50μg/mL [...]

CarouCELL – a novel compact submerged perfusion bioreactor for drug screening and tissue engineering

Foss M., Le D.Q.S., Aarhus University, DK

Development of traditional methods of cell growth and manipulation on 2-dimensional (2D) surfaces, have been shown to be far from optimal for new challenges of tissue engineering and drug screening. This has lead to the [...]
