The effect of biologicaly active substances on the structure and properties of collagenous substrates
Muchová, Johana ; Michlovská, Lenka (oponent) ; Vojtová, Lucy (vedoucí práce)
The thesis deals with the preparation of 3D porous collagen scaffolds by freeze-drying and their modification with bioactive compounds. The natural polysaccharides, chitosan, calcium oxidized cellulose and chitin/chitosan-glucan complex for the modification have been used. The mechanical properties of the scaffolds have been enhanced by crosslinking process with carbodiimides. Growth factors have been delivered in the form of platelet lysate. The influence of biologically active additives, crosslinking agents, and enrichment with growth factors on the properties of the prepared scaffold and their bioactivity in tissues of living organisms have been investigated. Specifically, this study includes the morphological properties, structure, porosity, swelling stability, chemical composition, temperature of denaturation and biological properties. Scanning electron microscopy, infrared specktroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and confocal microscopy have been used to the characterization. Prepared collagen substrates involving bioactive additive and platelet lysate could be used as scaffold for growing cells in systems with low mechanical loading and which has potential application in biomedicine.
