Matrix: a complex amalgam of structures and functions in tumor microenvironment

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The matrix is a dynamic, intricate three‐dimensional mesh of biomolecules with both structural and functional properties. This review deals with the complexity of this ‘molecular amalgam’ in the tumor microenvironment and highlights its importance in the maintenance and evolution of tumors by describing certain matrix biomolecules, such as ...

Extraction Method and Application Progress of Chitin from Shrimp and Crab Shell Waste

open access: yesShipin gongye ke-ji
With the gradual increase in the production and consumption of shrimp and crabs, a large amount of their shells are directly treated as garbage, resulting in significant environmental pressure. Shrimp and crab shells are rich in chitin.

Isolation and identification of a feather degrading Bacillus tropicus strain Gxun-17 from marine environment and its enzyme characteristics

open access: yesBMC Biotechnology, 2022
Background Feathers are the most abundant agricultural waste produced by poultry farms. The accumulation of a large number of feathers not only seriously pollutes the environment but also causes the waste of protein resources.

Using a Supramolecular Approach to Engineer Modular Hydrogel Platforms for Culturing Protoplasts – from General Tissue Engineering to Cellular Agriculture

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
Using supramolecular monomers, various hydrogel culture systems were formulated to culture protoplasts; including 2D, 2.5D, and 3D hydrogels. Depending on the culture platform, bioactive functionalization led to protoplast enlargement (2D and 2.5D) or plasmolysis (3D). This work shows the potential to modularly engineer synthetic platforms for cellular

Polysaccharide Biosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of General Physiology, 1966
Polysaccharide synthesis is discussed from the point of view of the sources of biological information that determine the structures and control the rates of synthesis of complex polysaccharides. It is concluded that three types of information contribute in important and different ways, namely enzyme specificity, primer substances, and the structure of ...

Nitrogen sorption as a tool for the characterisation of polysaccharide aerogels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Supercritically dried aerogels of several polysaccharides (chitin, chitosan, alginate, alginic acid, k- carrageenan, and agar) have been characterised by physisorption ofN2. Surface areas as high as 570m2 g−1 have been measured.

Diversity and function of phage encoded depolymerases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Bacteriophages of the Podoviridae family often exhibit so-called depolymerases as structural components of the virion. These enzymes appear as tail spike proteins (TSPs).

Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...
