Extracellular Matrix Sheet Structures
20170304507 · 2017-10-26 ·

A sheet structure formed from an extracellular matrix (ECM) composition that includes acellular ECM derived from small intestine submucosa (SIS) tissue, gentamicin and vancomycin. The sheet structure is configured to modulate inflammation of damaged biological tissue and induce cell and tissue proliferation, bioremodeling of the damaged biological tissue, and regeneration of new tissue and tissue structures with site-specific structural and functional properties, when the tissue structure is delivered to the damaged biological tissue.

DOPA-melanin formation in high ionic strength solutions

Methods of synthesizing a DOPA-melanin (DM) polymer are disclosed, as well as compositions comprising the DM polymer and uses thereof. The method comprises contacting a reactant such as 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) with a high concentration aqueous salt solution under oxidative conditions. The resulting DM polymer may form as insoluble particles or as a coating on a substrate surface. Exemplary uses for the DM polymers include removing heavy metal ions from contaminated solutions or capturing and delivering cationic drugs such as gentamicin.
