Hydrogels have emerged as multifunctional biomaterials in cardiac surgery, offering promising solutions for myocardial regeneration, adhesion prevention, valve engineering, and localized drug and gene delivery. Their high water content, biocompatibil...
Oleogels are a subclass of organogels that present a healthier alternative to traditional saturated and trans solid fats in food products. The unique structure and composition that oleogels possess make them able to provide desirable sensory and text...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumors exhibit pronounced phenotypic plasticity, alternating between a treatment-sensitive classical phenotype and a more aggressive basal-like state associated with drug resistance and poor prognosis. The freq...
Yogurt fortified with polyphenols, as a new type of functional yogurt, exhibits high quality and good antioxidant activity. However, the effects of black garlic polyphenols (BGP) on the quality of solidified yogurt have been scarcely reported. Theref...
Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) hydrogels were synthesized in the absence of a crosslinker. Chemical crosslinking between PAA and HPC was demonstrated through free radical polymerization by a precipitation reaction in aceton...
The One Health paradigm—recognizing the interconnected health of humans, animals, and the environment—promotes the development of sustainable technologies that enhance human health while minimizing ecological impact. In this context, bio-...
In order to solve various problems in traditional roads and extend their service life, new road materials have become a research hotspot. Polyurethane prepolymers (PUPs) and ceramic fibers (CFs), as materials with unique properties, were chosen due t...
Antimicrobial resistance in infected chronic wounds present significant risk of complications (e.g., amputations, fatalities). This research aimed to formulate honey-loaded hydrocolloid film comprising gelatin and HPMC, for potential treatment of inf...
The physical and rheological properties of mucilage hydrogels derived from the cladodes of Opuntia ficus-indica (L. Mill) were compared with those of commercial pectin for potential applications in the food industry. All hydrogels—formulated by...
We present a theoretical model for the electrophoresis of a weakly charged oil drop migrating through an uncharged polymer gel medium saturated with an aqueous electrolyte solution. The surface charge of the drop arises from the specific adsorption o...
