Investigation of the spatiotemporal responses of nanoparticles in tumor tissues with a small-scale mathematical model. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The transport and accumulation of anticancer nanodrugs in tumor tissues are affected by many factors including particle properties, vascular density and leakiness, and interstitial diffusivity.

The C-Terminal Domain of Liquorilactobacillus nagelii Dextransucrase Mediates the Production of Larger Dextrans Compared to Liquorilactobacillus hordei

open access: yesGels, 2022
Dextransucrases released by certain lactic acid bacteria form glucose polymers with predominantly α-1,6-linkages and may be exploited biotechnologically for the tailored production of polysaccharides with application potential.

Dextran and Insulin in Rats [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1960
WHILE testing the effects of insulin on the circulatory reaction of laboratory rats to dextran, we found that many animals died after combined doses of the two agents which were not lethal when administered separately. The validity of this observation was put to experimental test. Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing at least 150 gm.

Engineering the Hierarchical Porosity of Granular Hydrogel Scaffolds Using Porous Microgels to Improve Cell Recruitment and Tissue Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
By fabricating and covalently assembling gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) porous microgels, a new class of granular hydrogel scaffolds with hierarchical porosity is developed. These scaffolds have a significantly higher void fraction than their counterparts made up of nonporous microgels, enhancing cell recruitment and tissue integration. This research may

Optimizing Angiopep‐2 Density on Polymeric Nanoparticles for Enhanced Blood–Brain Barrier Penetration and Glioblastoma Targeting: Insights From In Vitro and In Vivo Experiments

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The Angiopep‐2 peptide density on polymeric nanoparticles significantly impacts blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration. This study explores this nuanced relationship using various in vitro models and in vivo assays, revealing that dynamic models better predict BBB penetration.

Effects of dextran and dextran sulfate on the glucoamylase-catalyzed reaction.

open access: yesAgricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1977
The hydrolysis of maltose by glucoamylase (EC 3. 2. 1. 3 from Rhizopus niveus) was carried out in the presence and absence of dextran and dextran sulfate, which are the components of supports of immobilized enzymes. The interaction between dextran and the enzyme was observed by the fluorescence spectrophotometry.

Strategies to Design and Optimize Artificial Antigen‐Presenting Cells for T Cell Expansion in Cancer Immunotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in engineering artificial antigen‐presenting cells (aAPCs) as alternatives to dendritic cells for T cell expansion. Key design principles inspired by the immunological synapse are discussed, with emphasis on strategies for polyclonal and antigen‐specific T cell expansion.

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.
