Synthesis of Biocompatible Hydroxyapatite Using Chitosan Oligosaccharide as a Template [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials, 2015
In this study, a novel biocompatible hydroxyapatite (HA) was synthesized by using chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) as a template. These HA samples were studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Bioconversion of chitin-containing wastes for the production of enzymes and bioactive materials

open access: yes, 2011
The exploitation of chitinous materials seems to be an infinite treasure. The oligosaccharides of chitin/chitosan, prepared by hydrolyzing chitin/chitosan with chitinase/chitosanase, have various potential applications in the fields of food, agricultural,

Extracellular vesicles in pharmacology: Innovations in drug delivery and therapeutic applications in cancer

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a diverse population of membrane nanoparticles secreted by nearly all cell types, playing a key role in intercellular communication by transferring bioactive macromolecular cargo. In cancer, EVs shape both the local tumour microenvironment and distant premetastatic niches.

Sugars as Central Integrators of Plant Immunity and Stress Responses

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugars are fundamental metabolites that sustain plant growth and development, but accumulating evidence demonstrates that they also function as regulatory hubs in plant defence. In this review, we synthesise current knowledge on how carbohydrate dynamics coordinate metabolism, signalling, and structural responses to shape plant resistance ...

Avian Eggshell Evolutionary Adaptations Inform Biomimetic Strategies for Next‑Generation Precision Cancer Theranostics

open access: yesAdvanced Oncology, Volume 1, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The avian eggshell is a sophisticated, multi‐functional biocomposite and, more importantly, an autonomous life‐support system evolved to safeguard embryonic development across dynamic and hostile environments. Discussing eggshell‐inspired biomaterials beyond simple structural imitation, this review translates these evolutionary survival ...
