A hydroxamic acid-methacrylated collagen conjugate for the modulation of inflammation-related MMP upregulation
H Liang, SJ Russell, DJ Wood +1
Medical devices with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) modulating functionality are highly desirable to restore tissue homeostasis in critical inflammation states, such as chronic wou…
Influence of 4-vinylbenzylation on the rheological and swelling properties of photo-activated collagen hydrogels
Giuseppe Tronci, Colin A. Grant, Neil H. Thomson +2
Covalent functionalisation of collagen has been shown to be a promising strategy to adjust the mechanical properties of highly swollen collagen hydrogels. At the same time, seconda…
Wet-spinnability and crosslinked fibre properties of two collagen polypeptides with varied molecular weight
Giuseppe Tronci, Ramya Sri Kanuparti, M. Tarik Arafat +3
The formation of naturally-derived materials with wet stable fibrous architectures is paramount in order to mimic the features of tissues at the molecular and microscopic scale. He…
Multi-scale Mechanical Characterization of Highly Swollen Photo-activated Collagen Hydrogels
Giuseppe Tronci, Colin A. Grant, Neil H. Thomson +2
Biological hydrogels have been increasingly sought after as e.g. wound dressings or scaffolds for regenerative medicine, due to their inherent biofunctionality in biological enviro…
Triple-helical collagen hydrogels via covalent aromatic functionalization with 1,3-Phenylenediacetic acid
Giuseppe Tronci, Amanda Doyle, Stephen J. Russell +1
Chemical crosslinking of collagen is a general strategy to reproduce macroscale tissue properties in physiological environment. However, simultaneous control of protein conformatio…
Photo-active collagen systems with controlled triple helix architecture
Giuseppe Tronci, Stephen J. Russell, David J. Wood
The design of photo-active collagen systems is presented as a basis for establishing biomimetic materials with varied network architecture and programmable macroscopic properties.…
