| Abstract | Recently, Injectable Conducting Hydrogel (ICH) systems have gained much attention for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. These systems can promote the regeneration of tissues responding to electrical responses. In this study, a novel ICH system was introduced. To achieve this system, firstly, a soluble non-toxic polypyrrole (PPy) synthesized by grafting pyrrole on alginate (Alg) backbone (Alg-graft-PPy), and then, ICH systems were prepared by the given ratios of Alg-graft-PPy, Alg, and collagen (Col). Three different amounts of Col (0.5, 1, and 1.5 mg/ml) were added to the system including Alg-graft-PPy: Alg wt. % with the ratio of 20:80 and 30:70. FTIR spectroscopy, electrical conductivity, viscosity, syringeability, gelation time, and MTT assay were performed in order to characterize the produced hydrogels. Due to the rheological behavior of 20:80 (Alg-graft-PPy: Alg wt. %), it was recognized more suitable to inject. Also this system associated with 0.5 mg/ml Col introduced as the best sample with respect to its viscosity and injectability. This ICH system has shown high conductivity in addition to a good level of cell viability and syringeability. With respect to properties of the produced ICH system, it can be applied for bone, nerve, muscle and cardiac cells, which respond to electrical impulses. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
