Molecular dynamics study on the mechanism of polynucleotide encapsulation by chitosan
The safe and effective delivery of therapeutic genes into target cell interiors is of great importance in gene therapy. Chitosan has been extensively studied as a gene delivery carrier due to its good biocompatibility and biodegradability.

Identification and characterization of 17 novel polynucleotide microsatellite markers in Ocypode stimpsoni (Decapoda: Ocypodidae) [PDF]
Objective The ghost crab Ocypode stimpsoni (Decapoda) is designated as a protected marine species in Korea due to its declining population. In this study, we successfully identified 17 microsatellite markers for O.

Viscosupplementation in the Therapy for Osteoarthritic Knee
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that is spreading worldwide due to an aging population. This is not simply a disease caused by worn out joints, but a complex disease accompanied by various mechanisms such as inflammatory reactions.

Lipid metabolism in pancreatic cancer: emerging roles and potential targets
Abstract Pancreatic cancer is one of the most serious health issues in developed and developing countries, with a 5‐year overall survival rate currently <9%. Patients typically present with advanced disease due to vague symptoms or lack of screening for early cancer detection.

High‐Yield Separation of Extracellular Vesicles Using Programmable Zwitterionic Coacervates
Positively charged zwitterionic coacervates are designed to purify extracellular vesicles in high yields. This system combines several advantages of different purification methods, including the scalability of precipitation, the gentle phase of aqueous two‐phase systems, and the programmability of chromatography. Abstract Programmable coacervates based

The dynamics of polynucleotide chain consisting of two different homogeneous sequences, divided by interface [PDF]
To research dynamics of inhomogeneous polynucleotide DNA chain the Y-model with no dissipation term was used. Basing on this model using numerical methods calculations were carried out, which have shown the behaviour of nonlinear conformational ...
