Fabrication of cellulose cryogel beads via room temperature dissolution in onium hydroxides

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in green solvents to dissolve and shape cellulose into microspheres. However, development of solvents suitable for room temperature dissolution and shaping of cellulose...

Porous soluble dialdehyde cellulose beads: A new carrier for the formulation of poorly water-soluble drugs

Cellulose beads are porous spherical particles with promising futures for drug delivery applications. In this study, novel dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) beads are developed by periodate oxidation of pristine cellulose for oral delivery of weakly...

Valorization of Aloe barbadensis Miller. (Aloe vera) Processing Waste

Aloe vera plant is known worldwide for its medicinal properties and application in gel-based products such as shampoo, soap, and sunscreen. However, the demand for these gel-based products has led to a surplus...

Structural characterization and protective effects of polysaccharide from Gracilaria lemaneiformis on LPS-induced injury in IEC-6 cells

This study was aimed to characterize Gracilaria lemaneiformis polysaccharides and evaluate their protective effects on Lipopolysaccharide-induced injury in IEC-6 cells. The G. lemaneiformis polysaccharide was degraded by UV/H2O2 treatment and purified to three fractions named GLP-1.0 M, GLP-1.4 M...

Preparation and properties of polyvinyl alcohol/N–succinyl chitosan/lincomycin composite antibacterial hydrogels for wound dressing

Hydrogels are three-dimensional polymeric networks capable of absorbing large amounts of water or biological fluids with the properties resembling natural living tissues. Herein, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/N–succinyl chitosan (NSCS)/lincomycin hydrogels for wound dressing...
