Basel – The magazine “Marine Drugs” published a study conducted by the University of Milan and the University of Padua, which looks into the preparation of a biocompatible film (used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine) from collagen extracted from the connective tissue of the Paracentrotus lividus, the common sea urchin. The research – led by Michela Sugni and Maria Daniela Candia fo the Department of Biosciences in Milan – opens the possibility of using collagen, a fundamental component of connective tissues, in many biomedical applications.
