Antibacterial activity of particulate bioglass against supra- and subgingival bacteria.
TL;DR: It was found that the viability of S. sanguis was significantly reduced following exposure to NB pre-incubated with Bioglass, and neutralisation of this highly alkaline solution eliminated the antibacterial effect.

Gelatin-fibrinogen cryogel dermal matrices for wound repair: Preparation, optimisation and in vitro study.
Maria B. Dainiak,Iain Allan,Irina N. Savina,Lisa Cornelio,Elizabeth S. James,Stuart L. James,Sergey V. Mikhalovsky,Hans Jungvid,Igor Yu. Galaev +8 more
TL;DR: The described in vitro studies demonstrated good potential of Gl-Fg-GA(0.1) scaffolds as matrices for wound healing and an enhanced cell motility on cryogels with reducing GA crosslinking was obtained after long time culture.

Particulate Bioglass reduces the viability of bacterial biofilms formed on its surface in an in vitro model.
TL;DR: Subgingivally-modelled mixed species biofilms grown on particulate Bioglass have the potential to reduce bacterial colonisation of its surface in vivo, a feature relevant to post-surgical periodontal wound healing.

Biofilm-specific surface properties and protein expression in oral Streptococcus sanguis
TL;DR: Phenotypic analysis of biofilm and planktonic cells confirmed that mode of growth affected surface properties of S. sanguis, and hydrophobicity and CshA expression was significantly elevated in biofilm cells, suggesting that surface proteins are up-regulated inBiofilm cells.

Activated carbon-plasticised agarose composite films for the adsorption of thiol as a model of wound malodour
Matthew Illsley,Alma Akhmetova,Cressida Bowyer,Talgat Nurgozhin,Sergey V. Mikhalovsky,Joan Farrer,Peter Dubruel,Iain Allan +7 more
TL;DR: Activated carbon-containing plasticised agarose films have some potential in the sequestration of malodourous molecules such as those liberated from chronic dermal wounds, according to this study.
