Designing chitosan-dextran sulfate nanoparticles using charge ratios [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of charge ratio on the formation and properties of the chitosan (CS)-dextran sulfate (DS) nanoparticles developed for the delivery of water-soluble small and large molecules, including proteins. Rhodamine 6G (R6G) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were chosen as model molecules.

Blackcurrant Alleviates Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS)-Induced Colitis in Mice
Previous studies have reported that anthocyanin (ACN)-rich materials have beneficial effects on ulcerative colitis (UC). Blackcurrant (BC) has been known as one of the foods rich in ACN, while studies demonstrating its effect on UC are rare.

Stabilizing Water-in-Water Emulsions Using Oil Droplets
The production of water-in-water emulsion droplets, the coalescence of which is prevented by adding oil-in-water micrometric droplets, is reported. Hexadecane (O) and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) were added to a W/W emulsion made of dextran ...

Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS)‐Induced Colitis in Mice [PDF]
AbstractInflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), mainly comprising ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease, are complex and multifactorial diseases with unknown etiology. For the past 20 years, to study human IBD mechanistically, a number of murine models of colitis have been developed. These models are indispensable tools to decipher underlying mechanisms of

Carbohydrate specificity of sea urchin sperm bindin: a cell surface lectin mediating sperm-egg adhesion. [PDF]
We have examined the carbohydrate specificity of bindin, a sperm protein responsible for the adhesion of sea urchin sperm to eggs, by investigating the interaction of a number of polysaccharides and glycoconjugates with isolated bindin.
