A Robust Bio‐Supportive Hydrogel Patch for Full‐Thickness Repair of Gastroesophageal Defects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gastroesophageal defect repair remains a formidable clinical challenge plagued by high leakage and life‐threatening complications. We develop a double‐disc, highly crystalline PVA‐based RBS hydrogel patch featuring suture‐free sealing, robust acid/enzyme resistance and mechanical durability.

A Need to Explain Apparent ‘Hard-to-biodegrade’ Cellulose Remainders in CO2-based Test Results

BioResources
The extent of cellulose fiber biodegradation, according to many published studies, tends to reach a plateau value well below 100%. This editorial proposes that the apparent residue of not-biodegraded cellulose may be due to simplifying assumptions in a ...

Biodegradation of fluoroanilines by the wild strain Labrys portucalensis

, 2013
Aniline and halogenated anilines are known as widespread environmental toxic pollutants released into soil and water. In contrast to aniline, which is rapidly metabolized via catechol, halosubstituted anilines are more resistant to microbial attack.
