Ferroptosis, a type of iron-dependent cell death, has been linked with the occurrence and progression of malignant tumors, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Fucoidan, an algal fucose-rich molecule, has been discovered preclinically to have an anti-CRC signature. Although some underlying mechanisms are reported, many signaling pathways associated w...

Depolysaccharide residues of edible fungus Pleurotus eryngii (dePSR-Pe), a mushroom industry waste, have abundant cellulose. In this study, the cellulose nanocrystals of P. eryngii (PeCNs) were extracted by hydrochloric acid. Results showed that the length of PeCNs is 469 ± 76.41 nm with a high aspect ratio of 40-100 and needle morphology. The stru...

This study explores a biopolymer-based composite system for metal decontamination of water using copper {Cu (II)} as a model pollutant. Novel composite beads of chitosan and amidoxime grafted graphene oxide (AOGO) were successfully prepared and used for the Cu (II) removal from aqueous solutions. For this purpose, acrylonitrile was first polymerize...

Cellulose, as a green reinforcing agent for rubber, has excellent improvement on the tensile strength but usually accompany with a deterioration of extensibility and self-healing property. Herein, we report an efficient method to prepare robust and self-healable natural rubber/zinc dimethacrylate/carboxylated cellulose nanofibers (NR/ZDMA/CNC) comp...

Pancreatic lipase (PL) is the main digestive enzyme that is responsible for breaking triglycerides into smaller components for absorption. Inhibition of PL can effectively reduce triglyceride absorption, helping to prevent the development of obesity. The objective of this study was to investigate the PL inhibitory activity of peptides derived from ...

Probiotics are generally used as therapeutic intervention in inflammatory bowel disease. However, the low survival rate in harsh gastrointestinal environment and limited retention in intestine greatly restrict their health benefits. To address this problem, a ROS-responsive hydrogel based on hyaluronic acid (HA) was developed for encapsulation and ...

Here we report a smart Chitosan-isophthalaldehyde-Graphene oxide (CS-ISD-GO) hydrogel as a "multicomponent hydrogel". We witnessed an unprecedented pH responsive changes in viscoelasticity, stretchability, adhesiveness, self-healing and self-adaptability upon changing the pH and concentration of CS and ISD that was authenticated by texture and rheo...

Superhydrophobic and hydrophobic properties are generally created by adopting low surface free energy materials. Therefore, most studies have focused on creating surface hydrophobicity by using hydrophobic or fluorinated materials. However, few studies are reported on realizing surface hydrophobicity by directly introducing hydrophilic molecules, w...
