Article Synopsis
- Porous polymer scaffolds are explored as temporary implants in regenerative medicine to repair damaged tissues, requiring specific qualities like biocompatibility and controlled porosity.
- The text introduces a method for creating bioactive dextran-based scaffolds using high internal phase emulsions combined with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles to enhance stability and mechanical properties.
- The research also demonstrates that loading therapeutic proteins like lysozyme into nanoparticles reduces the release rate, allowing for better control over how and when these proteins are released from the scaffold.
Growing demand for sustainable, plant-based protein sources has stimulated interest in new ingredients for food enrichment. This study investigates the nutritional and digestive implications of enriching wheat dough with RuBisCO, in comparison to pea protein-enriched and gluten-enriched doughs. The protein quality and digestibility of these enriched doughs were analysed through dough characterization, digestion experiments and biochemical analysis of digesta.

This concentrate contains 74.1% protein and is mainly composed of Ribulose-1,5-BISphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase (RuBisCO).
