Extrusion‐based 3D printing and freeze‐drying are used to fabricate a novel design of nerve conduit. The combination of these manufacturing techniques guarantees high tunability of morphological and structural characteristics. The conduit supports the regeneration of sciatic nerve of the rat above the limiting gap length and can therefore be proposed ...

A broad range of functional food components with antioxidant and/or anti‐inflammatory properties have been explored that can induce detoxification effects against ethanol. The underlying mechanisms of these bioactive food components include reducing the intestinal absorption of ethanol or its metabolites, increasing the activity of ethanol metabolizing

Thermotropic Liquid Crystals Based on Chito-Oligosaccharides III. Effect of the Molecular Shape of N,O-Acylated Chito-Oligosaccharides on the Discotic Mesomorphism [PDF]
Acylated derivatives of chitosan oligomers with a relatively high degree of polymerization (DP=4, 5, or 6) were synthesized and their mesophase properties were studied in comparison with those of the lower-DP homologues (DP=2 and 3) previously reported.

Study on preparation of chito-oligosaccharide by cellulase hydrolysis
Abstract By using cellulase enzymatic hydrolysis preparation to obtain low molecular weight chito-oligosaccharide. The conditions for the hydrolysis of chitosan by cellulase were studied by single factor experiment. The effects of temperature, pH value, reaction time and enzyme dosage on the decomposition efficiency of chitosan were ...

Feeding Marine Polysaccharides to Alleviate the Negative Effects Associated with Weaning in Pigs
In young pigs, the challenge of weaning frequently leads to dysbiosis. This predisposes pigs to intestinal infection such as post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD).

Effects of chito-oligosaccharide on piglet jejunal explants: an histological approach
Antibiotics have been widely used in piglet diets to promote growth performance and reduce diarrhea incidence. However, the resistance of pathogens to antibiotics and the risk of residues of antibiotics in animal products induced a growing interest in the use of alternatives to in-feed antibiotics.
