Studies on the biocompatibility of bacterial cellulose

Bacterial cellulose was functionalized with a chimeric protein containing a cellulose-binding module and the adhesion peptide Arg-Gly-Asp. Small-diameter bacterial cellulose membranes were produced and subcutaneously implanted in sheep for 1–32 weeks. The implants triggered a biological response sim...
