Factorial analysis and linear regression showed, in a robust and unprecedented way, that an isotropic distribution of deep and closely spaced valleys provides the best condition for cell adhesion, to which both protein adsorption and surface free energy were highly correlated.

The goal of this workflow is to integrate CAD/CAM technologies into daily clinical routine to enhance technical and clinical efficiency, reduce the burden of cleft care, and simplify the implementation of these technologies in other facilities. To achieve this, a methodology based on intraoral scanning and additive manufacturing is employed to produce patient-specific passive palatal plates. The approach describes possible pitfalls and their resolution within the routine of a cleft centre, along with an exemplary case scenario.

Serratiopeptidase (SP), a metalloprotease produced by bacteria such as <i>Serratia marcescens</i>, has gained attention not only for its anti-inflammatory properties but also for its potential antibacterial activity. However, its protein nature makes it susceptible to pH changes and self-proteolysis, limiting its effectiveness. This study aimed to increase both the enzymatic stability and antibacterial activity of serratiopeptidase through immobilization on titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO<sub>2</sub>-NPs), leveraging the biocompatibility and stability of these nanomaterials. Commercial TiO<sub>2</sub>-NPs were characterized using TGA/DTG, FT-IR, UV-Vis, and XRD analyses, and their biocompatibility was assessed through cytotoxicity studies. Serratiopeptidase was produced via fermentation using the C8 isolate of <i>Serratia marcescens</i> obtained from the intestine of <i>Bombyx mori</i> L., purified chromatographically, and immobilized on carboxylated nanoparticles via EDC/NHS coupling at various pH conditions. The optimal enzymatic activity was achieved by using pH 5.1 for nanoparticle activation and pH 5.5 for enzyme coupling. The resulting bioconjugate demonstrated stable proteolytic activity at 25 °C for 48 h. Immobilization was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, and the Michaelis-Menten kinetics were determined. Notably, the bioconjugate exhibited two-fold greater antibacterial activity against <i>E. coli</i> than the free enzyme or TiO<sub>2</sub>-NPs at 1000 µg/mL. This study successfully developed a serratiopeptidase-TiO<sub>2</sub> bioconjugate with enhanced enzymatic stability and antibacterial properties. The improved antibacterial activity of the immobilized enzyme presents a promising approach for developing new tools to combat antimicrobial resistance, with potential applications in healthcare, food safety, and environmental protection.</p>","PeriodicalId":15767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Functional Biomaterials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11508812/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142501597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tests with hiPSCs showed the hydrogel's ability to promote their proliferation within both 2D and 3D cell cultures. The tests also showed that hiPSCs inside hemispheres of the hydrogel were able to differentiate into cardiomyocytes, capable of spontaneous contractions (average frequency of ~0.5 Hz and amplitude of ~2%).
