The selenized glutelin (Se-G) from Se-enriched chickpea sprouts has demonstrated high antioxidant potential. In this study, the response surface methodology was employed to optimize Se-G content (1–4%) and grape or rosehip oils (10–40%) f...

Pectin is widely used in different areas like biomedical, pharmaceutical, food, and environmental industries thanks to its gelling properties. Pectin hydrogels are of great interest because of their wide biomedical applications in drug delivery, tiss...

Biocompatible electroactive hydrogels with bidirectional pH-responsive bending are important for the creation of biomedical actuators. This study developed chitosan/carboxymethylcellulose (CS/CMC) semi-interpenetrating networks (SIPNs) with different...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerases are macromolecular machines that catalyze the synthesis of RNA macromolecules, the sequences of which are coded for by the sequences of regions of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) macromolecules in the nucleus of eukaryo...

Owing to their tunable and biocompatible characteristics, collagen- and gelatin-based hydrogels have gained attention in numerous applications, including biomedical, food, pharmaceutical, and environmental. The gelation mechanisms and resulting netwo...

L-asparaginase (L-ASNase) is a vital enzymatic drug widely used for treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and certain lymphomas. However, its clinical application is often limited by a short plasma half-life, pronounced immunogenicity, and syst...

Single-use plastic cups and packaging materials pose severe environmental challenges due to their persistent nature and harmful impact on ecosystems and wildlife. Simultaneously, the indiscriminate disposal and burning of agricultural and food proces...

Human adenovirus infections are typically self-limiting but can become life-threatening in pediatric populations and immunocompromised individuals. Despite this clinical importance, efforts to develop antiviral drugs against adenoviruses remain limit...

Tomato pomace (TP) is a waste product from tomato processing. This study explored its use as a food ingredient by creating an encapsulated TP extract (ETPE). TP was extracted with ethanol using a microwave-assisted method prior to encapsulating with...

UV radiation is responsible for acute and chronic adverse effects on the skin. In recent years, it has been shown that various phenolic acids, particularly cinnamic acid derivatives, prevent some of these effects. In the present study, the design and...
