Crystallization and Evaluation of Physical Properties of Microbial Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate).

Sen'i Gakkaishi, 2002
The bulk crystallization behavior of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB-co-4HB)] were studied using polarized light microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and wide- and small-angle X-ray diffraction. Under the isothermal crystallization condition, the linear growth rates of the P(3HB-co-4HB) spherulites were measured at various

Crystalline Poly(L‐Lactic Acid) Nanoparticles via Nonsolvent‐Induced Cascade Phase Separation

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Water is used as the nonsolvent to induce liquid/liquid phase separation (LLPS) of poly(L‐lactic acid) (PLLA)/propylene carbonate solution and PLLA crystallization. Due to the two levels of cascade LLPS coupled with confined PLLA crystallization, three types of polymeric nanoparticles, including PLLA single crystals, Ouzo crystalsomes, and sheaf‐like ...

Docetaxel-Loaded Poly(3HB-co-4HB) Biodegradable Nanoparticles: Impact of Copolymer Composition

Nanomaterials, 2020
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymers show a relatively higher in vivo degradation rate compared to other PHAs, thus, they receive a great deal of attention for a wide range of medical applications.

Proteo‐transcriptomic insights into the venom composition of the ectoparasitoid Eupelmus urozonus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Integrated venom‐gland transcriptomics and venom proteomics of Eupelmus urozonus identified 316 venom proteins, including 75 secreted candidates, revealing diverse hydrolases, proteases/inhibitors and many uncharacterized effectors. Abstract BACKGROUND Ectoparasitoid venoms are ‘cocktails’ of bioactive molecules injected during oviposition to paralyze ...

Three‐Dimensional Piezoelectric Fibrous Constructs for Muscle Regeneration

Small, EarlyView.
This study fabricates 3D piezoelectric PHBV scaffolds to enhance muscle regeneration by systematically tuning electrospinning parameters. Introducing porosity yields a 25‐fold enhancement in the effective piezoelectric coefficient (d33). A highly effective d33 signal, activated by cellular tension and fiber deformation, significantly improves myogenic ...

Outcomes of Long‐Term Absorbable Mesh Use for Ventral Hernia Repair in Immunosuppressed Patients

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Immunosuppressed patients are more at risk of perioperative infections. In case of ventral hernia repair, the use of a long‐term absorbable mesh could potentially decrease the infectious risk in these patients. This study aimed to assess the short‐ and mid‐term outcomes of ventral hernia repair with long‐term absorbable mesh in immunosuppressed and non‐
