Aligned bacterial PHBV nanofibrous conduit for peripheral nerve regeneration

Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 2014
The conventional method of peripheral nerve gap treatment is autografting. This method is limited. In this study, an aligned nanofibrous graft was formed using microbial polyester, Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV). The regenerative effect of the graft was compared with that of autografting in vivo.

An HBV‐Derived Peptide Poly6 as a Novel Candidate for Functional Cure Via IFN‐I–Mediated Epigenetic Regulation of cccDNA

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) represents the central obstacle to achieving a functional cure for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Poly6, a peptide encoded within the HBV genome, was investigated for antiviral efficacy in hepatocyte‐derived cell lines, hydrodynamic injection models, and HBV transgenic mice.

Developing Active Bilayer Films Based on Poly(Lactic Acid) and Gelatin or Sodium Caseinate

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Bilayer films made from polymers with complementary properties, such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and proteins, loaded with active agents allow to produce materials with additional functionality compared to those used in conventional packaging. The objective of this research was the development of bilayer films based on PLA acting as the passive

Biodiversity and soil type modulate the effect of plastic contamination on soil functioning

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings show that the negative effects of plastic contamination on soil functioning strongly depend on soil type and can be partly alleviated by plant diversity. In sandy soils, diverse plant communities buffered functional losses under plastic stress, whereas in clayey soils the benefits of diversity were suppressed.

Active Polymers Containing Silver Nanoparticles Combined With Formulations Based on Essential Oils: Quality Effect on Cereals and Dairy Products

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Bioactive nanocomposite diffusion films containing plant essential oils (EOs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were fabricated and tested against foodborne pathogens, spoilage organisms, and insects in packaged foods. Films were based on chitosan (CH), poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT), and polylactic acid (PLA), containing ...
