Effect of Glycosaminoglycans on Oocyst Attachment and Excystation.

causes severe gastrointestinal disease resulting from the ingestion of oocysts, followed by oocyst excystation in the small intestine and the release of infective sporozoites. An understudied strategy for inactivation is purposeful oocyst excystation, as sporozoites do not survive long in the environment. This study showed that C.

Antibacterial properties of electrospun TiCT (MXene)/chitosan nanofibers.

Electrospun natural polymeric bandages are highly desirable due to their low-cost, biodegradability, non-toxicity and antimicrobial properties. Functionalization of these nanofibrous mats with two-dimensional nanomaterials is an attractive strategy to enhance the antibacterial effects. Herein, we demonstrate an electrospinning process to produce encapsulated delaminated TiCT (MXene) flakes within chitosan nanofibers for passive antibacterial wound dressing applications.
