Collagen Scaffolds Treated by Hydrogen Peroxide for Cell Cultivation.

Collagen in the body is exposed to a range of influences, including free radicals, which can lead to a significant change in its structure. Modeling such an effect on collagen fibrils will allow one to get a native structure in vitro, which is important for modern tissue engineering. The aim of this work is to study the effect of free radicals on a solution of hydrogen peroxide with a concentration of 0.006–0.15% on the structure of collagen fibrils in vitro, and the response of cells to such treatment. SEM measurements show a decrease in the diameter of the collagen fibrils with an increase in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Such treatment also leads to an increase in the wetting angle of the collagen surface. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrates a decrease in the signal with wave number 1084 cm−1 due to the detachment of glucose and galactose linked to hydroxylysine, connected to the collagen molecule through the -C-O-C- group. During the first day of cultivating ASCs, MG-63, and A-431 cells, an increase in cell adhesion on collagen fibrils treated with H2O2 (0.015, 0.03%) was observed. Thus the effect of H2O2 on biologically relevant extracellular matrices for the formation of collagen scaffolds was shown.

Parent-child Interactions in Numeracy Activities: Parental Scaffolding, Mathematical Talk, and Game Format

The purpose of this mixed-method study was to investigate differences in parent-preschooler interactions when they played the same numeracy-related game using two formats, a technology-based electronic format and a non-technology traditional board format. Thirty-nine parent-preschooler dyads participated in the study. Two pre-determined coding schemes, Parental Scaffolding Behaviors and Mathematical Talk, provided the foundation for the quantitative analyses of the videos. Qualitative analysis of selected dyads provided greater in-depth understanding of the similarities and differences in parents’ performance of each coded scaffolding behavior. The MANOVA for Parental Scaffolding Behaviors showed that the frequencies for seven coded scaffolding behaviors were significantly higher in the board game condition. The MANOVA for Mathematical Talk revealed that although both parents and children engaged in more statements about naming numbers in the board condition, the difference across the two game formats was bigger for parents than for children. In addition, the frequencies of using statements about Counting, Using Spatial Words, and Estimating were significantly higher in the board game condition. Themes from qualitative analysis revealed parents’ different roles when using the two game formats, as well as the affordances of each format and their influence on parental scaffolding behaviors.

Dermal extracellular matrix response to facetem implant: a randomised controlled experimental study

Background. A leading concept in modern regenerative medicine is the perspective of using own body resources to remodel organs and tissues via the formation of “living scaffold”. A pivotal role in the formation of dermal scaffold is played by fibroblasts that produce extracellular matrix (ECM).Aim. A study of the fibroblast activation mechanism mediating synthesis of the dermal ECM fibrillar component under the Facetem filler administration.Methods. The experimental trial was conducted in Wistar male rats (72 animals). Animals had 0.05 mL Facetem (Korea) injections subdermally. The filler is a calcium-containing product featuring gradual degradation delivered through structural microspheric properties of the Lattice-pore technology. Biological material was sampled at weeks 1 and 2 of months 1, 2, 3 and 5. Tissues were paraffin-embedded in standard histological assays and stained with Mallory’s trichrome, Picrosirius red in polarisation microscopy and immunohistochemistry with collagen types I, III and elastin antibodies (Abcam).Results. Collagen distribution in dermis and the filling zone suggests that collagen production occurs by week 2 of the Facetem filler placement followed by an increase in synthesised matrix volume to 4.39 ± 0.7 for collagen type I and 3.9 ± 0.2 for collagen type III (p < 0.05). The synthetic activity of fi broblasts reduces by month 3, albeit with collagen production remaining above control even by the end of month 5. Elastin synthesis also initiates by week 2 of the filler injection in dermis and grows by month 3.Conclusion. The presence of Facetem filler triggers a foreign body inflammatory response in dermis. This multifactorial process initiates with protein adsorption proceeding to dermal cell recruitment and modulation of fibroblasts and macrophages. Activation of these cell types induces neocollagenesis entailing the extracellular matrix synthesis and expansion in dermis.

A Hydrophobic Derivative of Ciprofloxacin as a New Photoinitiator of Two-Photon Polymerization: Synthesis and Usage for the Formation of Biocompatible Polylactide-Based 3D Scaffolds.

A hydrophobic derivative of ciprofloxacin, hexanoylated ciprofloxacin (CPF-hex), has been used as a photoinitiator (PI) for two-photon polymerization (2PP) for the first time. We present, here, the synthesis of CPF-hex and its application for 2PP of methacrylate-terminated star-shaped poly (D,L-lactide), as well a systematic study on the optical, physicochemical and mechanical properties of the photocurable resin and prepared three-dimensional scaffolds. CPF-hex exhibited good solubility in the photocurable resin, high absorption at the two-photon wavelength and a low fluorescence quantum yield = 0.079. Structuring tests showed a relatively broad processing window and revealed the efficiency of CPF-hex as a 2PP PI. The prepared three-dimensional scaffolds showed good thermal stability; thermal decomposition was observed only at 314 °C. In addition, they demonstrated an increase in Young’s modulus after the UV post-curing (from 336 ± 79 MPa to 564 ± 183 MPa, which is close to those of a cancellous (trabecular) bone). Moreover, using CPF-hex as a 2PP PI did not compromise the scaffolds’ low cytotoxicity, thus they are suitable for potential application in bone tissue regeneration.

Successful Utilization of Poly-4-Hydroxybutyrate Mesh in High Risk, Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstructions with Photo-Microscopic Analysis.

Background: Biosynthetic resorbable mesh offers encouraging alternative for reinforcement in complex hernia repairs. This study evaluated outcomes of P4HB, absorbable polymer scaffold, in high-risk patients undergoing complex abdominal hernia repairs. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective outcomes analysis of a prospectively kept database. Patient/wound characteristics, perioperative findings, short/mid-term outcomes of our cohort were analyzed. Endpoints included hernia recurrences, wound events and any complications. ACS NSQIP online risk calculator was used for each patient to obtain predicted outcomes as virtual matched control group. We also performed a full-thickness abdominal wall biopsy at 14-months post mesh implantation for histologic evaluation. Results: 28 patients with mean age 57 years and mean BMI 31 were analyzed. 21 patients (75%) had preexisting infections. 20 (71%) of patients had class I wounds per CDC classification at time of surgery. However, 19 of these 20 had wound or deep organ/space infections prior to surgery. Repair types included restoration of Linea Alba with retromuscular mesh placement in 23 patients (82%) with 22 of them requiring additional myofascial release. 5 patients (18%) had only mesh placement. Postoperatively, 11 patients (39%) had complications with zero hernia recurrence and zero mesh explantation at maximum of 42 months of follow up. Conclusion: P4HB can be successfully used in high-risk operative fields with no postoperative mesh explantation, despite serious complications such as infected hematomas. Histologic evaluation of the human tissue, 14-months post-implantation of P4HB confirms mesh presence with surrounding dense collagen scaffold formation and minimal inflammatory response.

Electrospinning and Electrospraying with Cells for Applications in Biomanufacturing

Biomanufacturing of cell-laden scaffolds with biomimetic cell-scaffold organizations resembling the structures and anatomy of human body tissues and organs holds great promise in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In human body tissues and organs, specific types of cells are supported by nanofibrous extracellular matrix (ECM) in well-defined three-dimensional (3D) manners. Electrospinning is a facile and effective technique for producing nanofibrous scaffolds, which exhibit high similarities in the structure compared to ECM that offers structural and mechanical supports to cells in the human body. The incorporation within the electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds has therefore been considered as a promising approach for biomanufacturing of cell-laden scaffolds with tissue-mimicking structures. However, limited by low controllability of conventional cell seeding strategies and small sizes of interconnected pores of normal electrospun scaffolds, it is highly difficult to incorporate living cells within electrospun scaffolds on demand and results in cell-laden scaffolds with desirable 3D cell-scaffold organization. With recent advances in electrospinning and electrospraying with cells, it is visible to directly incorporate living cells within scaffolds via cell microencapsulation approaches and therefore offer promising alternatives for biomanufacturing of cell-laden scaffolds with tissue-mimicking structures. In this review, we will summarize the applications and challenges of cell seeding strategies and cell microencapsulation technologies for incorporating cells within electrospun scaffolds. Some techniques with high potentials to be integrated with electrospinning for forming the cell-laden scaffolds in continuous and noncontact manners, including aerodynamic-assisted cell microencapsulation, hydrodynamic-assisted cell microencapsulation and electrohydrodynamic-assisted cell microencapsulation (i.e., cell electrospinning and cell electrospraying), are highlighted. In particular, the cell microencapsulation and the subsequent formation of cell-laden scaffolds directly by electrospinning and electrospraying with living cells are overviewed in a detailed manner. Finally, the perspective and challenges of electrospinning and electrospraying with cells for biomanufacturing of cell-laden scaffolds with tissue-mimicking structures are discussed.

DNA mediated graphene oxide (GO)-nanosheets dispersed supramolecular GO-DNA hydrogel: An efficient soft-milieu for simplistic synthesis of Ag-NPs@GO-DNA and Gram + ve/-ve bacteria-based Ag-NPs@GO-DNA-bacteria nano-bio composites

The proposition of bio-material based soft hydrogel scaffold formation is one of the pivotal triggers to have the functionally suitable nano-bio composite. In this work, calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and water-exfoliated 2D graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets have been executed towards the formation of nano and bio-material based flexible supramolecular hydrogel structure to achieve nano-bio functionality. Herein, calf thymus DNA and 2D GO nanosheets meditated a supramolecular hydrogel has been employed for the sun-ray directed synthesis of supramolecular hydrogel capped functional silver nanoparticles through a green synthetic protocol by reducing Ag(I) to Ag(0) without applying any added reducing agents. The CT-DNA and 2D GO nanosheets meditated a supramolecular hydrogel capped well-designed Ag-NPs (Ag-NPs@GO-DNA) have been employed for the production of smart ultrafine bacteria-mediated nano-bio composites. In this presentation, Gram + ve bacteria (Bacillus subtilis) and Gram -ve bacteria (Escherichia coli) have been chosen as the competent living ingredients for offering new class of Ag-NPs with considerable stability through exploiting the catalytic effects of the bacteria on Ag-NPs@GO-DNA.

Changes in the Molecular Characteristics of Bovine and Marine Collagen in the Presence of Proteolytic Enzymes as a Stage Used in Scaffold Formation.

Biopolymers, in particular collagen and fibrinogen, are the leading materials for use in tissue engineering. When developing technology for scaffold formation, it is important to understand the properties of the source materials as well as the mechanisms that determine the formation of the scaffold structures. Both factors influence the properties of scaffolds to a great extent. Our present work aimed to identify the features of the molecular characteristics of collagens of different species origin and the changes they undergo during the enzymatic hydrolysis used for the process of scaffold formation. For this study, we used the methods of gel-penetrating chromatography, dynamic light scattering, reading IR spectra, and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that cod collagen (CC) and bovine collagen (BC) have different initial molecular weight parameters, and that, during hydrolysis, the majority of either type of protein is hydrolyzed by the proteolytic enzymes within the first minute. The differently sourced collagen samples were also hydrolyzed with the formation of two low molecular fractions: Mw ~ 10 kDa and ~20 kDa. In the case of CC, the microstructure of the final scaffolds contained denser, closely spaced fibrillar areas, while the BC-sourced scaffolds had narrow, short fibrils composed of unbound fibers of hydrolyzed collagen in their structure.

Four component tandem Knoevenagel–Michael strategy for the assembly of arylaldehydes, N,N'-dimethylbarbituric acid, 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one and morpholine into unsymmetrical scaffold with three different heterocyclic rings

A new type of four component tandem Knoevenagel–Michael reaction has been found consisting in the assembly of benzaldehydes, N,N'-dimethylbarbituric acid, 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one and morpholine in alcohols, other organic solvents or water at room temperature without catalyst or any other additives, which results in the selective formation of unsymmetrical scaffold with three different heterocyclic rings in 63–98% yields. The crystal structure of morpholinium 5-[(4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-yl)(4-nitrophenyl)methyl]-1,3-dimethyl-2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-6-olate has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

Coiled-Coil Based Inclusion Bodies and Their Potential Applications.

The production of recombinant proteins using microbial cell factories is frequently associated with the formation of inclusion bodies (IBs). These proteinaceous entities can be sometimes a reservoir of stable and active protein, might display good biocompatibility, and are produced efficiently and cost-effectively. Thus, these submicrometric particles are increasingly exploited as functional biomaterials for biotechnological and biomedical purposes. The fusion of aggregation-prone sequences to the target protein is a successful strategy to sequester soluble recombinant polypeptides into IBs. Traditionally, the use of these IB-tags results in the formation of amyloid-like scaffolds where the protein of interest is trapped. This amyloid conformation might compromise the protein’s activity and be potentially cytotoxic. One promising alternative to overcome these limitations exploits the coiled-coil fold, composed of two or more α-helices and widely used by nature to create supramolecular assemblies. In this review, we summarize the state-of-the-art of functional IBs technology, focusing on the coiled-coil-assembly strategy, describing its advantages and applications, delving into future developments and necessary improvements in the field.

Intramolecular cyclization to fused pyranoisoxazoles and molecular packing motifs identification through X-ray structural studies

The present work describes intramolecular cyclization of 4-(hydroxyamino)-2-oxo-6-aryl-N-(substituted)-2H-pyran-3-carboxamides (1a-e) under the basic condition to yield fused pyranoisoxazoles (2a-e). The X-ray structural studies delineate a network of non-covalent forces that provided a molecular packing motif to generate a reproducible stacking pattern towards column scaffold formation in the pyranoisoxazole crystal system.

Fisetin Inhibits NLRP3 Inflammasome by Suppressing TLR4/MD2-Mediated Mitochondrial ROS Production.

Fisetin has numerous therapeutic properties, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and anticancer effects. However, the mechanism by which fisetin inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome remains unclear. In this study, we observed that fisetin bound to TLR4 and occluded the hydrophobic pocket of MD2, which in turn inhibited the binding of LPS to the TLR4/MD2 complex. This prevented the initiation of scaffold formation by the inhibition of MyD88/IRAK4 and subsequently downregulated the NF-κB signaling pathway. The result also demonstrated that fisetin downregulated the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome induced by LPS and ATP (LPS/ATP) and the subsequent maturation of IL-1β. Fisetin also activated mitophagy and prevented the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and the excessive production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. The transient knockdown of p62 reversed the inhibitory activity of fisetin on the LPS/ATP-induced formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. This indicated that fisetin induces p62-mediated mitophagy for eliminating damaged mitochondria. Recently, the existence of inflammasomes in non-mammalian species including zebrafish have been identified. Treatment of an LPS/ATP-stimulated zebrafish model with fisetin aided the recovery of the impaired heart rate, decreased the recruitment of macrophage to the brain, and gradually downregulated the expression of inflammasome-related genes. These results indicated that fisetin inhibited the TLR4/MD2-mediated activation of NLRP3 inflammasome by eliminating damaged mitochondria in a p62-dependent manner.

Recent Advancements in 3D Printing of Polysaccharide Hydrogels in Cartilage Tissue Engineering.

The application of hydrogels coupled with 3-dimensional (3D) printing technologies represents a modern concept in scaffold development in cartilage tissue engineering (CTE). Hydrogels based on natural biomaterials are extensively used for this purpose. This is mainly due to their excellent biocompatibility, inherent bioactivity, and special microstructure that supports tissue regeneration. The use of natural biomaterials, especially polysaccharides and proteins, represents an attractive strategy towards scaffold formation as they mimic the structure of extracellular matrix (ECM) and guide cell growth, proliferation, and phenotype preservation. Polysaccharide-based hydrogels, such as alginate, agarose, chitosan, cellulose, hyaluronan, and dextran, are distinctive scaffold materials with advantageous properties, low cytotoxicity, and tunable functionality. These superior properties can be further complemented with various proteins (e.g., collagen, gelatin, fibroin), forming novel base formulations termed “proteo-saccharides” to improve the scaffold’s physiological signaling and mechanical strength. This review highlights the significance of 3D bioprinted scaffolds of natural-based hydrogels used in CTE. Further, the printability and bioink formation of the proteo-saccharides-based hydrogels have also been discussed, including the possible clinical translation of such materials.

Actin Cytoskeleton Role in the Maintenance of Neuronal Morphology and Long-Term Memory.

Evidence indicates that long-term memory formation creates long-lasting changes in neuronal morphology within a specific neuronal network that forms the memory trace. Dendritic spines, which include most of the excitatory synapses in excitatory neurons, are formed or eliminated by learning. These changes may be long-lasting and correlate with memory strength. Moreover, learning-induced changes in the morphology of existing spines can also contribute to the formation of the neuronal network that underlies memory. Altering spines morphology after memory consolidation can erase memory. These observations strongly suggest that learning-induced spines modifications can constitute the changes in synaptic connectivity within the neuronal network that form memory and that stabilization of this network maintains long-term memory. The formation and elimination of spines and other finer morphological changes in spines are mediated by the actin cytoskeleton. The actin cytoskeleton forms networks within the spine that support its structure. Therefore, it is believed that the actin cytoskeleton mediates spine morphogenesis induced by learning. Any long-lasting changes in the spine morphology induced by learning require the preservation of the spine actin cytoskeleton network to support and stabilize the spine new structure. However, the actin cytoskeleton is highly dynamic, and the turnover of actin and its regulatory proteins that determine and support the actin cytoskeleton network structure is relatively fast. Molecular models, suggested here, describe ways to overcome the dynamic nature of the actin cytoskeleton and the fast protein turnover and to support an enduring actin cytoskeleton network within the spines, spines stability and long-term memory. These models are based on long-lasting changes in actin regulatory proteins concentrations within the spine or the formation of a long-lasting scaffold and the ability for its recurring rebuilding within the spine. The persistence of the actin cytoskeleton network within the spine is suggested to support long-lasting spine structure and the maintenance of long-term memory.

Drug delivery and antimicrobial studies of chitosan-alginate based hydroxyapatite bioscaffolds formed by the Casein micelle assisted synthesis

The present study aims to develop a hydroxyapatite (HAP) based scaffold composite for orthopaedic applications and for that, we adopt a Casein (Cs) micelle assisted synthesis route for the formation of a composite. Following the synthesis and characterization of various fluorine (2% and 5%) substituted HAPs (FHAP), they have been tested for the release of Ciprofloxacin (CIP) drug and antimicrobial efficacy. The physicochemical characterization such as FTIR and Raman confirms the successful formation of the HAP composites. Similarly, the powder XRD and FESEM analysis have used for the confirmation of crystallinity and morphological behaviour, respectively. The elemental composition has confirmed using EDX analysis. The antimicrobial studies indicate that the 5% FHAP sample is possessing superior antifungal and antibacterial activities and the highest activity has been observed against the gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) with an inhibition zone of 47 mm while the gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) has only 38 mm inhibition zone. The CIP drug release profile has been controlling with the Cs/5% FHAP sample. Therefore, this composite has carried out for the scaffold formation with the use of chitosan-alginate matrices. Further, characterization of chitosan-alginate/5% FHAP scaffold composite indicates porous, biodegradable, considerable water uptake and retention ability, along with the maintenance of controlled CIP drug-releasing properties. Based on the analysis, the as-synthesized chitosan-alginate/5% FHAP scaffold composite can be suitable for the biomedical and bioengineering applications of bone tissue growth and as an implant.

A New Strategy for the Preparation of Porous Silk Fibroin Scaffolds

In order to prepare Silk Fibroin (SF) scaffolds with excellent pore structure, the fresh SF solution was concentrated at relative humidity 55% and 25°C for 3 days. During the above process, SF micelles, existed in the fresh SF solution, aggregated into nanofilaments as concentration increased, and the nanofilament feature of SF were similar to that observed in silk gland. SF nanofilaments were easy to form SF scaffolds with porous and silk I structure, in contrary, SF micelles were liable for formation of SF scaffolds with lamellar and random coil structure. It suggested that the formation of SF nanofilaments is a critical step for pore and secondary structure control of lyophilized SF scaffolds.

Development of an in-situ forming, self-healing scaffold for dermal wound healing: in-vitro and in-vivo studies

The importance of the extra-cellular matrix (ECM) for wound healing has been extensively researched. Understanding its importance, multiple ECM mimetic scaffolds have been developed. However, the majority of such scaffolds are prefabricated. Due to their stiffness, prefabricated scaffolds cannot come into direct contact with the basal skin cells at the wound bed, limiting their efficacy. We have developed a unique wound dressing, using chitosan (CH) and chondroitin sulfate (CS), that can form a porous scaffold (CH-CS PEC) in-situ, at the wound site, by simple mixing of the polymer solutions. As CH is positively and CS is negatively charged, mixing these two polymer solutions would lead to electrostatic cross-linking between the polymers, converting them to a porous, viscoelastic scaffold. Owing to the in-situ formation, the scaffold can come in direct contact with the cells at the wound bed, supporting their proliferation and biofunction. In the present study, we confirmed the cross-linked scaffold formation by solid-state NMR, XRD, and TGA analysis. We have demonstrated that the scaffold had a high viscoelastic property, with self-healing capability. Both keratinocyte and fibroblast cells exhibited significantly increased migration and functional markers expression when grown on this scaffold. In the rat skin-excisional wound model, treatment with the in-situ forming CH-CS PEC exhibited enhanced wound healing efficacy. Altogether, this study demonstrated that mixing CH and CS solutions lead to the spontaneous formation of a highly viscoelastic, porous scaffold, which can support epidermal and dermal cell proliferation and bio-function, with an enhanced in-vivo wound healing efficacy.

Disease-specific interactome alterations via epichaperomics: the case for Alzheimer's disease.

The increasingly appreciated prevalence of complicated stressor-to-phenotype associations in human disease requires a greater understanding of how specific stressors affect systems or interactome properties. Many currently untreatable diseases arise due to variations in, and through a combination of, multiple stressors of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental nature. Unfortunately, how such stressors lead to a specific disease phenotype or inflict a vulnerability to some cells and tissues but not others remains largely unknown and unsatisfactorily addressed. Analysis of cell- and tissue-specific interactome networks may shed light on organization of biological systems and subsequently to disease vulnerabilities. However, deriving human interactomes across different cell and disease contexts remains a challenge. To this end, this opinion article links stressor-induced protein interactome network perturbations to the formation of pathologic scaffolds termed epichaperomes, revealing a viable and reproducible experimental solution to obtaining rigorous context-dependent interactomes. This article presents our views on how a specialized 'omics platform called epichaperomics may complement and enhance the currently available conventional approaches and aid the scientific community in defining, understanding, and ultimately controlling interactome networks of complex diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Ultimately, this approach may aid the transition from a limited single-alteration perspective in disease to a comprehensive network-based mindset, which we posit will result in precision medicine paradigms for disease diagnosis and treatment.

Protein and Polysaccharide Base Biomaterial for The Formation of Composite Bone Scaffold

Protein and Polysaccharide Base Biomaterial for The Formation of Composite Bone Scaffold

Sustainable Development of Chitosan/Calotropis procera-Based Hydrogels to Stimulate Formation of Granulation Tissue and Angiogenesis in Wound Healing Applications.

The formation of new scaffolds to enhance healing magnitude is necessarily required in biomedical applications. Granulation tissue formation is a crucial stage of wound healing in which granulation tissue grows on the surface of a wound by the formation of connective tissue and blood vessels. In the present study, porous hydrogels were synthesized using chitosan incorporating latex of the Calotropis procera plant by using a freeze–thaw cycle to stimulate the formation of granulation tissue and angiogenesis in wound healing applications. Structural analysis through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the interaction between chitosan and Calotropis procera. Latex extract containing hydrogel showed slightly higher absorption than the control during water absorption analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis showed high thermal stability of the 60:40 combination of chitosan (CS) and Calotropis procera as compared to all other treatments and controls. A fabricated scaffold application on a chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) showed that all hydrogels containing latex extract resulted in a significant formation of blood vessels and regeneration of cells. Overall, the formation of connective tissues and blood capillaries and healing magnitude decreased in ascending order of concentration of extract.
