Abstract:Recent data suggest that collagen retains the memory of the tissue that it derives from. With this in mind, collagen (from bovine skin and tendon) sponges were fabricated with different crosslinking densities, and their physicochemical and biological properties were assessed. As the crosslinking density was increased, the resistance to collagenase digestion, denaturation temperature, compressive stress, and compressive modulus was significantly increased and the free amine content, % swelling, and human dermal… Show more
