Currently, treatment of myocardial infarction considered as unmet clinical need. Nanomaterials have been used in the regeneration of tissues such as bone, dental and neural tissue in the body and have increased hope for revitalizing of damaged tissues. Conductive carbon base nanomaterials with its superior physicochemical properties have emerged as promising materials for cardiovascular application. In this study, we applied a biosynthetic collagen scaffold containing carbon nanofiber for regenerating of damaged heart tissue. The collagen-carbon nanofiber scaffold was fabricated and fully characterised. The scaffold was grafted on the affected area of myocardial ischemia, immediately after ligation of the left anterior descending artery in the wistar rat's model. After 4 weeks, histological analyses were performed for investigation of formation of immature cardio-myocytes, epicardial cells, and angiogenesis. Compared to untreated hearts, this scaffold significantly protects heart tissue against injury. This improvement is accompanied by a reduction in fibrosis and the increased formation of a blood vessel network and immature cardio-myocytes in the infarction heart. No toxicity detected with apoptotic and TUNEL assays. In conclusion, the mechanical support of the collagen scaffold with carbon nanofiber enhanced the regeneration of myocardial tissue.

Naim Kittana Mohyeddin Assali Wolfram-Hubertus Zimmermann Norman Liaw Gabriela Leao Santos Abdul Rehman Susanne Lutz

Int J Nanomedicine 2021 15;16:989-1000. Epub 2021 Feb 15.

Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University Medical Center Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany.

Background: Under certain conditions, the physiological repair of connective tissues might fail to restore the original structure and function. Optimized engineered connective tissues (ECTs) with biophysical properties adapted to the target tissue could be used as a substitution therapy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ECT enforcement by a complex of multiwall carbon nanotubes with chitosan (C-MWCNT) to meet in vivo demands. Read More

Division of Periodontology, College of Dentistry, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, United States of America.

A series of novel decellularized porcine collagen bone graft (DPB) materials in a variety of shapes and sizes were developed by the supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO ) extraction technique. The complete decellularization of DPB was confirmed by Hematoxylin & Eosin staining, 4,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining and residual DNA analysis. The native intact collagen remained in the DPB after the SCCO process was confirmed by Mason Trichrome staining. Read More

Modifications of diketopiperazines assembled by cyclodipeptide synthases with cytochrome P enzymes.

Authors:
Lauritz Harken Shu-Ming Li

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021 Feb 24. Epub 2021 Feb 24.

2,5-Diketopiperazines are the smallest cyclic peptides comprising two amino acids connected via two peptide bonds. They can be biosynthesized in nature by two different enzyme families, either by nonribosomal peptide synthetases or by cyclodipeptide synthases. Due to the stable scaffold of the diketopiperazine ring, they can serve as precursors for further modifications by different tailoring enzymes, such as methyltransferases, prenyltransferases, oxidoreductases like cyclodipeptide oxidases, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent monooxygenases and cytochrome P enzymes, leading to the formation of intriguing secondary metabolites.

Fullerenes, as hydrophobic molecules, are limited in biomedical function due to their very low solubility. But taking C60 (OH) x as an example, the properties of fullerenols were analyzed. It was found that fullerenols had good stability, water solubility, good biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity by adding a hydroxyl group to carbon atoms. Read More
