3D printing and properties of cellulose nanofibrils-reinforced quince seed mucilage bio-inks
Int J Biol Macromol. 2021 Oct 16;192:1098-1107. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.10.078. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlant-based hydrogels have attracted great attention in biomedical fields since they are biocompatible and based on natural, sustainable, cost-effective, and widely accessible sources. Here, we introduced new viscoelastic bio-inks composed of quince seed mucilage and cellulose nanofibrils (QSM/CNF) easily extruded into 3D lattice structures through direct ink writing in ambient conditions. The QSM/CNF inks enabled precise control on printing fidelity where CNF endowed objects with shape stability after freeze-...

Antifungal activities of quince seed mucilage hydrogel decorated with essential oils of < em > Nigella sativa, Citrus sinensis < /em > and < em > Cinnamon verum < /em >
CONCLUSION: The proposed plant-based nano formulation shown promising in vitro antifungal activities against C. albicans and M. furfur strains and its antifungal properties were comparable with commercially available agents like clotrimazole. The new formulation expected to be safe with minimum long-term side effects. Further investigations are underway to confirm the safety and the mechanism of the action of this new herbal formulation.PMID:34540174 | PMC:PMC8416591 | DOI:10.18502/ijm.v13i3.6398 (Source: Iranian Journal of Microbiology)

Glucuronoxylan-based quince seed hydrogel: A promising scaffold for tissue engineering applications
Int J Biol Macromol. 2021 Mar 20:S0141-8130(21)00625-5. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.03.096. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNatural gums and mucilages from plant-derived polysaccharides are potential candidates for a tissue-engineering scaffold by their ability of gelation and biocompatibility. Herein, we utilized Glucuronoxylan-based quince seed hydrogel (QSH) as a scaffold for tissue engineering applications. Optimization of QSH gelation was conducted by varying QSH and crosslinker glutaraldehyde (GTA) concentrations. Structural characterization of QSH was done by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Furthermor...
