Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by researchers at Charles University explores the use of gelatin from bovine, porcine, and fish sources in tissue engineering. The study examines the effects of incorporating gelatin into polycaprolactone and poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) films, evaluating their morphology, mechanical properties, thermal stability, biodegradability, hemocompatibility, cell adhesion, proliferation, and cytotoxicity. The results indicate that the addition of gelatin alters the mechanical properties of the films, making them more flexible. The gelatin-based samples demonstrate a suitable level of biocompatibility, providing valuable insights for future tissue engineering applications. [Extracted from the article]
