Hydrogen-Bonding Affords Sustainable Plastics with Ultrahigh Robustness and Water-Assisted Arbitrarily Shape Engineering

Kai Gong et al.

Summary: In this study, a supramolecular plastic-like hydrogel (SPH) platform is introduced to fabricate sustainable plastics with ultrahigh stiffness and strength, as well as water-assisted arbitrarily shapeable capability. The resulting transparent plastics, constructed from SPHs of cellulose ether/polycarboxylic acid complexes, exhibit mechanical robustness superior or comparable to most common plastics. The shape of the plastics can be reversibly engineered by air drying of the SPHs with diverse 2D/3D shapes and structures.

Chemistry of Chitosan Aerogels: Three-Dimensional Pore Control for Tailored Applications

Satoru Takeshita et al.

Summary: Chitosan, derived from food waste, is a biopolymer with high biocompatibility and easy chemical processability. Porous chitosan materials vary widely in properties, from supercritically dried mesoporous chitosan aerogels to very light freeze-dried macroporous scaffolds. Despite impressive performance at the laboratory scale, the highly porous nature of chitosan amplifies both its beneficial functionality and drawbacks, posing serious barriers to industrialization.

Impacts of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) on angiogenic activities

Xiuhong Huang et al.

Summary: It has been shown that chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) has inhibitory effects on angiogenesis activities of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), especially at high concentrations and polymerization degrees. However, low concentrations and suitable polymerization degrees of COS have little significant impact on HUVECs, showing a dose-dependent effect.

Role of vasodilation in liver regeneration and health

Linda Grosse-Segerath et al.

Summary: This review discusses how enhanced blood flow through the liver triggers hepatocyte proliferation and liver growth, the different stages of liver regeneration post partial hepatectomy (PHx), and the molecular mechanisms associated with the hepatic vascular system. It also explores the negative impacts of advanced age and obesity on the hepatic vasculature and liver regeneration, as well as recent clinical advancements in liver perfusion techniques. Understanding the mechano-elastic properties and alterations of the hepatic vasculature is crucial in influencing liver health, regeneration, and disease.

An Integrated Strategy for Rapid Hemostasis during Tumor Resection and Prevention of Postoperative Tumor Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Antibacterial Shape Memory Cryogel

Yongping Liang et al.

Summary: A biomaterials approach using ZIF-8 nanoparticle-enhanced multinetwork cryogels for rapid hemostasis and prevention of tumor recurrence during tumor resection is proposed in this study. The cryogels showed good hemostatic effect and significant cancer cell killing ability under ultrasound, reducing the risk of tumor recurrence post-surgery in a hepatocellular carcinoma model.
