Biomedical adhesives have been found to be an attractive alternative to suturing in several circumstances. However, to date most of the clinically approved formulations are based on synthetic and highly reactive toxic chemicals. In this work, we aimed to combine for the first time the bioactive properties of the cationic polysaccharide chitosan and its intrinsic electrostatic binding to negatively charged tissues with the biocompatible and clinically compliant enzymatic cross-linking scheme of fibrin glue. This synergistic activity led to the generation of a transglutaminase Factor XIII cross-linkable chitosan formulation with fast gelation kinetics, tunable mechanical properties, antibacterial activity, and strong adhesion to cartilage.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D005176 Factor XIII A fibrin-stabilizing plasma enzyme (TRANSGLUTAMINASES) that is activated by THROMBIN and CALCIUM to form FACTOR XIIIA. It is important for stabilizing the formation of the fibrin polymer (clot) which culminates the coagulation cascade.
