TEMPO-oxidized cellulose beads as potential pH-responsive carriers for site-specific drug delivery in the gastrointestinal tract
The development of controlled drug delivery systems based on bio-renewable materials is an emerging strategy. In this work, a controlled drug delivery system based on mesoporous oxidized cellulose beads (OCBs) was successfully...
In vitro and in vivo evaluation of poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid-sodium alginate as a core-shell nanofibrous matrix with arginine and bacitracin-nanoclay complex for dermal reconstruction of excision wound
The protective layer of the body, the skin is often prone to damage due to several factors like trauma, accidents, stress and hazardous exposure. This requires the skin to regenerate itself which...
Topochemical Engineering of Cellulose—Carboxymethyl Cellulose Beads: A Low-Field NMR Relaxometry Study
The demand for more ecological, highly engineered hydrogel beads is driven by a multitude of applications such as enzyme immobilization, tissue engineering and superabsorbent materials. Despite great interest in hydrogel fabrication and...
The 8th EPNOE International Polysaccharides Conference
The 8th International Polysaccharide Conference will take place from 17 to 22 September 2023, at the Graz University of Technology (Graz, Austria). The main goal is to gather academia and industry stakeholders and encourage a conversation about...
