Composite based on resveratrol and selenium as an antioxidative component in tissue engineering: Abstract

Abstract

Inflammation and oxidative stress are common problems in biomaterial science. Therefore, antioxidative components, especially those of natural origin, can be of great value in improving biomaterial formulations for medical devices. It is already well known that the most notable exogenous antioxidants are ascorbic acid, polyphenolic compounds, and minerals such as selenium and zinc. In our research, we prepared a composite based on polyphenolic resveratrol nanobelts and selenium nanoparticles and explored its’ antioxidative potential.
