Advanced Materials

Oral

Biomolecules such as enzymes, DNA and other proteins are increasingly being used in various biotechnology and industrial applications. However, they rely on their structural complexity for activity and specificity [1] making them vulnerable to environmental factors such as temperature, pH, and solvents. Encapsulation of these molecules, especially enzymes, improves their stability and allows...

61. Using SAXS/WAXS to determine the influence of collagen structure on material properties within acellular dermal matrix materials.

Oral

Collagen tissues such as skin and pericardium are remarkably strong and malleable. These physical charactersitics, along with the biocompatibility benefits of being a natural product, make collagen tissues an excellent source material for making surgical patches and implants. Our studies have involved investigating the natural collagen structure within acellular dermal matrix (ADM) materials...

60. Stiffness of modified collagen fibril structures manipulated by moisture content

Advanced Materials

Oral

Flexibility and strength are both desirable characteristics in skin derived collagen materials, like leather. Dehydration of skin during production of leather transforms tissue into a stiffer material. The hydration state is a key parameter in leather production controlling the material strength and flexibility. The structural basis for flexibility in leather was investigated and the moisture...

65. Insights into flash-nanoprecipitated drug solubilisation during in vitro digestion in milk using the SAXS/WAXS beamline

Advanced Materials

Oral

Strategies to administer drugs in a low cost and an effective manner are priorities to global health and many efforts have been made to re-formulate drugs that are highly lipophilic and have high variations in their oral bioavailability. One example of such drug is clofazimine, which has been recently identified as a potential new drug to treat cryptosporidiosis, the second leading cause of...
