One‐Stone‐Three‐Birds Biomimetic Oral Targeting Delivery Strategy for On‐Demand Controlled Drug Release and Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Therapy

Exploration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a multifactorial condition characterized by excessive inflammation, immune dysfunction, and metabolic disorders. Current therapeutic strategies primarily rely on local injection, a traumatic approach associated with risks of tissue damage and infection.

Cyclic β-glucans at the bacteria–host cells interphase: One sugar ring to rule them all [PDF]

, 2018
Cyclic β‐1,2‐D‐glucans (CβG) are natural bionanopolymers present in the periplasmic space of many Proteobacteria. These molecules are sugar rings made of 17 to 25 D‐glucose units linked exclusively by β‐1,2‐glycosidic bonds.
