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

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]
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]
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]
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
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 ...
