Definition of Thiomers. Meaning of Thiomers. Synonyms of Thiomers

- thiomers – called "preactivated" or "S-protected" thiomers – were introduced. In contrast to thiomers of the first generation, preactivated thiomers are...
- polymers (=thiomers) can form disulfide bridges with cysteine substructures of keratins getting covalently attached to these proteins. Thiomers exhibit therefore...
- three-dimensional tissue formation. Furthermore, thiolated xanthan gum (see thiomers) has shown potential for drug delivery, since by the covalent attachment...
- can be introduced. Another example is thiolated polysaccharides. (See thiomers.) Thiol groups are covalently attached to polysaccharides such as hyaluronic...
- enhancing properties can be introduced. Thiolated cellulose derivatives (see thiomers) exhibit also high binding properties for metal ions. Cellulose for industrial...
- mucoadhesive properties can be introduced as these thiolated oligomers (thiomers) are capable of forming disulfide bonds with cysteine-rich subdomains of...
- Furthermore, thiolation of proteins and carbohydrates enables these polymers (thiomers) to covalently adhere especially to cysteine-rich subdomains of proteins...
- cells to grow into the dressing. Furthermore, thiolated chitosans (see thiomers) are used for tissue engineering and wound healing, as these biopolymers...
- molecules into a host. Hyaluronan can be crosslinked by attaching thiols (see thiomers) (trade names: Extracel, HyStem), hexadecylamides (trade name: Hymovis)...
- polymers) (physical gels) or chemical bonds such as disulfide bonds (see thiomers) (chemical gels), as well as crystallites or other junctions that remain...
