Classification and bibliometric analysis of hydrogels in periodontitis treatment: Trends, mechanisms, advantages, and future research directions.

Objectives: The review assess the potential of hydrogel-based drug delivery systems in treating periodontitis. Hydrogels are classified based on source, composition, configuration, crosslinking methods, ionic charge, and response to stimuli.

Methods: The methodology comprised of comprehensive data collection from WoS, Scopus and PubMed databases covering the period of 2004-2024 of 626 documents.

Purification and characterization of chitinase produced by thermophilic fungi .

Background: In the past few years, the production of shrimp shell waste from the seafood processing industries has confronted a significant surge. Furthermore, insignificant dumping of waste has dangerous effects on both nature and human well-being. This marine waste contains a huge quantity of chitin which has several applications in different fields.

Optimization of process parameters for improved chitinase activity from sp. by using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm.

Chitinase is responsible for the breaking down of chitin to N-acetyl-glucosamine units linked through (1-4)-glycosidic bond. The chitinases find several applications in waste management and pest control. The high yield with characteristics thermal stability of chitinase is the key to their industrial application.

Extraction and optimization of exopolysaccharide from sp. using response surface methodology and artificial neural networks.

The microbial polysaccharides secreted and produced from various microbes into their extracellular environment is known as exopolysaccharide. These polysaccharides can be secreted from the microbes either in a soluble or insoluble form. sp.
