A new effective and available method is proposed for preservation of human blood leukocytes at supercooling temperature (-10 degrees C). The method consists in induction of cold hypobiosis under protection of an original antifreeze protecting solution containing glycerol (cryoprotector), mexidol (antioxidant and membrane stabilizer), and gelatin preparation (modegel or gelatinol) as the solvent. No washing of the solution from the biological object before its intravenous injection is needed; the solution preserves morphological integrity of cells and their functional activity at a high level for 12 days.

Galactose oxidase has long captured the interest of the biocatalysis and biotechnology communities due to its unique catalytic characteristics and versatility with various substrates. In our previous studies, we demonstrated that galactose oxidase GAO-5F from Fusarium odoratissimum can oxidize agarose to produce a polyaldehyde polymer, which can be further crosslinked with gelatin to produce food packaging films. Despite its commendable catalytic performance, GAO-5F falls short of meeting the requirements for industrial applications.

Drawing inspiration from nature, soft materials are at the core of a transformation toward adaptive and responsive engineered systems, capable of conquering demanding terrain and safe when interacting with biological life. Despite recent advances in 3D printing of soft materials, researchers are still far from being able to print complex soft systems where a multitude of different components need to work together symbiotically. Closing this gap necessitates a platform that unites diverse materials into one synergetic process.

The current study proposes fragmented nanofibers of polycaprolactone (FNF) with bioactive glass nanoparticles (nBG) incorporated into a polymeric matrix of alginate-gelatin for the creation of a hydrogel scaffold. Four groups were prepared: control, bioactive glass containing scaffold (BG), fragmented nanofibers with bioactive glass scaffold (FNF(PCL) + BG), and fragmented composite nanofibers scaffold (FNF (PCL + BG)). FNF (PCL + BG) scaffolds revealed a more controlled degradation rate, with approximately 20 % degradation occurring after 28 compared.

Light-based 3D printing techniques represent powerful tools, enabling the precise fabrication of intricate objects with high resolution and control. An innovative addition to this set of printing techniques is Optical Fiber-Assisted Printing (OFAP) introduced in this article. OFAP is a platform utilizing an LED-coupled optical fiber (LOF) that selectively crosslinks photopolymer resins.

This study aims to synthesize a core-shell gelatin-based carbon quantum dot-molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP@g-CQD) via the precipitation free-radical polymerization process using methotrexate (MTX) as a model anticancer template. To investigate the efficiency of the prepared photoluminescent MIP@g-CQD as a pH-responsive nano-carrier, MTX was loaded into MIP@g-CQD by soaking in a drug solution and the release behavior of the loaded drug was evaluated in the necessary pH values (7.4, 5).
