Glucans monomer-exchange dynamics as an open chemical network [PDF]

J. Chem. Phys. 143, 244903 (2015), 2015
We describe the oligosaccharides-exchange dynamics performed by so-called D-enzymes on polysaccharides. To mimic physiological conditions, we treat this process as an open chemical network by assuming some of the polymer concentrations fixed (chemostatting).

Coacervates Composed of Low‐Molecular‐Weight Compounds– Molecular Design, Stimuli Responsiveness, Confined Reaction

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Coacervation driven by liquid‐liquid phase separation (LLPS) of biopolymers has garnered increasing attention in biology since this leads to the formation of membraneless organelles capable of performing essential yet largely unknown functions. This review highlights recent advances in coacervates (artificial condensates) composed of low‐molecular ...

Design and Evaluation of 3D‐Printed Polylactic Acid Composites Reinforced with Biodegradable Bamboo Powder and Jute Powder

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The study investigates 3D‐printed polylactic acid (PLA) composites with biodegradable bamboo and jute powder fillers. Mechanical, thermal, structural properties, and rheological behavior are discussed to evaluate composite performance. Morphological characterization indicates uniform dispersion and adhesion of the fillers in the PLA matrix with the ...

Quantification of sulfated polysaccharides in urine by the Heparin Red mix-and-read fluorescence assay [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Quantification of sulfated polysaccharides in urine samples is relevant to pharmacokinetic studies in drug development projects and to the non-invasive diagnosis and therapy monitoring of mucopolysaccharidoses. The Heparin Red Kit is a particularly simple and user friendly fluorescence assay for the quantification of sulfated polysaccharides and has ...

Ice-templating beet-root pectin foams: Controlling texture, mechanics and capillary properties [PDF]

, 2018
Sugar beet pectin is a byproduct of the sugar industry with a particularly low gelling power which hinders its application as gelling agent and thickener. Here we consider the use of freeze casting to shape sugar beet pectin into lightweight foams.

A Novel Protein‐Polysaccharide Oral Nanoemulsion Targeting Activated Hepatic Stellate Cells to Enhance the Therapeutic Effect of Pirfenidone on Fibrosis After Transarterial Chemoembolization for Liver Cancer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate liver fibrosis. In this study, a novel oral targeting nanoemulsion is fabricated to enhance the therapeutic effect of antifibrotic drug‐pirfenidone (PFD) on fibrosis after TACE. Studies have shown that PFD nanoemulsion can enhance the oral liver targeting effect of PFD, and effectively improve the ...

Quantification of sulfated polysaccharides in mouse and rat plasma by the Heparin Red mix-and-read fluorescence assay [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Sulfated polysaccharides constitute a large and complex group of macromolecules which possess a wide range of important biological properties. Many of them hold promise as new therapeutics, but determination of their blood levels during pharmacokinetic studies can be challenging.
