Beyond Proteins—Edible Insects as a Source of Dietary Fiber
Polysaccharides, 2023 The consumption of insects as an alternative protein source is acceptable as a sustainable alternative to mainstream protein sources. Apart from containing a high protein content, insects also have dietary fiber in the form of chitin, which helps to ...

Magnetic hydrogels derived from polysaccharides with improved specific power absorption: potential devices for remotely triggered drug delivery [PDF]
J. Phys. Chem. B, 2010, 114 (37), pp 12002--12007, 2011 We report on novel ferrogels derived from polysaccharides (sodium alginate and chitosan) with embedded iron oxide nanoparticles synthesized in situ and their combination with thermally responsive poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) for externally-driven drug release using AC magnetic fields.

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Polysaccharide conformations measured by solution state x-ray scattering [PDF]
, 2019 Polysaccharides are semi-flexible polymers composed of sugar residues with a myriad of important functions including structural support, energy storage and immunogenicity. The local conformation of such chains is a crucial factor governing their interactions, where the relative orientation of adjacent sugar rings determines the propensity for hydrogen ...
