In treating brain diseases, such as canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD), most currently available potent drugs have weak therapeutic efficacy. One of the causes is the inability of the substance to reach the brain in therapeutic quantities. These pharmaceuticals lacked targeted mechanisms for drug delivery, coming about in an elevated drug concentration in imperative organs, which drove to drug harmfulness.

Electrochemical sensors based on ion-imprinting polymers have emerged as an effective analytical tool for heavy metal tracking. This study describes a simple and facile technique for manufacturing a highly selective and sensitive electrode using an ion imprinting polymer on a bismuth-modified carbon paste electrode. The developed sensor applied aniline as a functional monomer and was used for tracking Ni(ii) ions.

Efforts to rapidly and easily supply purified human serum albumin (HSA) in remote areas during a pandemic are challenging. Here, we developed an HSA-imprinted microsphere (HSAIM) as a matrix to purify HSA from blood plasma on a small scale. HSAIMs were generated by encapsulating silica-3-(2-imidazoline-1-yl) propyltriethoxysilane-Cu-HSA (SiO-IMEO-Cu-HSA) into agarose gel, and the stereospecific template for HSA was obtained by eluting the agarose gel.

Immobilization of enzymes is one of the most promising methods in enzyme performance enhancement, including stability, recovery, and reusability. However, investigation of suitable solid support in enzyme immobilization is still a scientific challenge. Polyethersulfone (PES) and aminated PES (PES-NH2) were successfully synthesized as novel materials for immobilization.
