BIOACTIVE 3D-SHAPED WOUND DRESSINGS SYNTHESIZED FROM BACTERIAL CELLULOSE: EFFECT ON CELL ADHESION OF POLYVINYL ALCOHOL INTEGRATED IN SITU

Bioactive 3D-Shaped Wound Dressings Synthesized from Bacterial Cellulose: Effect on Cell Adhesion of Polyvinyl Alcohol Integrated In Situ

We investigated wound dressing composites comprising fibrils of bacterial Agitator Shaft Seal cellulose (BC) grown by fermentation in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) followed by physical crosslinking.The reference biointerface, neat BC, favoured adhesion of fibroblasts owing to size exclusion effects.Furthermore, it resisted migration acros

Oestrogen deprivation induces chemokine production and immune cell recruitment in in vitro and in vivo models of oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer

Abstract Background Oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer is commonly treated using endocrine therapies such as aromatase inhibitors which block synthesis of oestradiol, but the influence of this therapy on the immune composition of breast tumours has not been fully explored.Previous findings suggest that tumour infiltrating lymphocytes a
