Nanocellulose synthesis via synergistic application of solid acid and cellulase.

Nanocellulose stands out in numerous applications due to its excellent properties. Yet, achieving its preparation in a cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally benign manner remains challenging. This study introduces a green synthesis approach by employing a non-polluting solid acid, combined with a cellulase enzyme, for nanocellulose production.

Inhibition mechanism of leukemia cells HL-60 by exopolysaccharides from Botryococcus braunii in response to high-concentration cobalt.

The influence of metal elements on the biomedical activity of microalgal exopolysaccharides (EPS) remains underexplored. This study examined the antitumor properties of Botryococcus braunii EPS under high cobalt conditions and the role of exogenous 3-indole acetic acid (IAA) in enhancing its activity. Results showed that IAA mitigated cobalt-induced inhibition of B.

Bioactive glass suspension hydrogel promotes wound healing by modulating fibroblasts.

The irritation and adhesion of wound healing biomaterials to wet wounds should be addressed for achieving effective wound healing. In this study, a stable multifunctional hydrogels (BGs/HA suspension gels) were prepared using superfine powder of bioactive glasses (BGs), the biocompatible materials hyaluronic acid (HA) and carbomer940, which had good adhesion and low irritation properties for use in moist complex wounds. The average particle size of BGs/HA suspension gels was 13.
