Impact of epicatechin on fibrin clot structure
Fibrin clot structure and function are major determinants of thromboembolic diseases. The study aim was to determine the impact of epicatechin (a flavonoid with cardiovascular protective effects) on fibrin clot structure and permeability. Plasma samples from 12 healthy subjects were incubated with increasing concentrations of epicatechin.

Antioxidant processes involving epicatechin decreased symptoms of pine wilt disease
Since the pine wood nematode (PWN, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) invasion of Northeast China, both symptomatic and asymptomatic PWN carriers have been found. Asymptomatic PWN carriers, which are more dangerous than symptomatic carriers, constitute a source

Abstract A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs) with health benefits such as prevention of urinary-tract infections are less common in food. Anthocyanins can directly condense with epicatechins to give rise to A-type anthocyanin-epicatechin dimers linked by C4–C8 and C2–O–C7 bonds, analogues of A-type PACs.

A self‐gelling PG@PAC (POD/Gel‐CDH@PA/CHX) powder is developed for infected burn care in austere settings. Upon contact with wound exudate, it instantly forms an adhesive hydrogel, providing simultaneous hemostasis, broad‐spectrum antibacterial activity, reactive oxygen species scavenging, and immunomodulation. In a murine model of S.

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...
