Facile synthesis of chitosan-capped ZnS quantum dots as an eco-friendly fluorescence sensor for rapid determination of bisphenol A in water and plastic samples [PDF]

, 2014
This paper describes a novel eco-friendly fluorescence sensor for determination of bisphenol A (BPA) based on chitosan-capped ZnS quantum dots (QDs). By using safe and inexpensive materials, nontoxic ZnS QDs were synthesized via an environment-friendly ...

Core Fucosylation Represses SMURF1‐Dependent Degradation of CD47 to Promote Tumor Immune Evasion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
FUT8‐mediated core fucosylation of CD47 at N111 blocks SMURF1 binding and reduces CD47 ubiquitination and degradation. Blocking N111 glycosylation reduces CD47 expression and promotes macrophage phagocytosis of tumor cells. Furthermore, ablating CD47 core fucosylation boosts CD103+ dendritic cells (DCs) infiltration, increases natural killer (NK) cell ...

A FTIR spectroscopy evidence of the interactions between wheat germ agglutinin and N-acetylglucosamine residues [PDF]

, 1999
Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), a lectin binding a N-acetyl-D-neuraminic acid (NeuNAc) and/or N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) group, was studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Deconvolution of the FTIR spectrum of WGA alone indicated the

Enhancing Binding by Electron Transfer at Heterointerfaces of Biochar‐Modified Hydrogel to Improve Utilization Efficiency of Wastewater Recovered Nutrients

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Enhancing the utilization efficiency of nutrients recovered from wastewater is achieved through hydrogel modification by biochar. The strategy improves nutrient binding to hydrogels via electron transfer at heterointerfaces, thereby reducing nutrient release rate.

Exploiting the CH-π interactions in supramolecular hydrogels of aromatic carbohydrate amphiphiles [PDF]

, 2011
A novel class of supramolecular hydrogels derived from amino sugars is reported, where the self-assembly of aromatic carbohydrate amphiphiles is driven by CH-π interactions, rather than π–π stacking and H-bonding associated with gelators based on ...

Decoding the Pathophysiology of Autoimmune Diseases—Mechanism, Triggers, and Nanotherapeutics: A Review

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review highlights how autoimmune diseases arise from intertwined immunological, genetic, and environmental factors, emphasizing gut microbiota dysbiosis as a pivotal driver. It outlines emerging nanotechnology‐based strategies—such as liposomes, hydrogels, and polymeric nanoparticles—that enhance targeted drug delivery, minimize systemic toxicity,
