• Biomimetic Highly Porous Nanocellulose-Nanohydroxyapatite Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering 

      Korkeamäki, Jannika Timontytär; Rashad, Ahmad; Berstad, Kaia; Weber, Florian; Syverud, Kristin; Haugen, Håvard Jostein; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Elnour (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Wood-derived TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) have potential as scaffolding for bone tissue engineering. Although biocompatible, the material lacks osteoconductive and appropriate mechanical properties. Incorporation ...
    • Responses of Rat Mesenchymal Stromal Cells to Nanocellulose with Different Functional Groups 

      Elsebahy, Ahmad Rashad; Grøndahl, Martha; Heggset, Ellinor Bævre; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Elnour; Syverud, Kristin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are multiscale hydrophilic biocompatible polysaccharide materials derived from wood and plants. TEMPO-mediated oxidation of CNFs (TO-CNF) turns some of the primary hydroxyl groups to carboxylate ...
