Fast-degrading linear and branched polyanhydrides are obtained by melt-condensation of novel di- and tri-carboxylic acid monomers based on oleic and undecylenic acid synthesized using photoinitiated thiol-ene click chemistry. (1)H NMR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and FT-IR spectroscopy have been used to fully characterize these polymers. The hydrolytic degradation of these polymers was studied by means of weight loss, anhydride bond loss, and changes in molecular weight, showing fast degrading properties. Drug release studies from the synthesized polyanhydrides have also been conducted, using rhodamine B as a hydrophobic model drug, to evaluate the potential of these polymers in biomedical applications.

Exosomes, which are known to transport diverse proteins from parent cells to recipient cells, consequently influence the biological activities of the recipient cells. Among those proteins, the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), plays a crucial role as it is implicated in cell adhesion and signaling processes. As exosomal EpCAM potentially affects the migration of recipient cells, direct visualization with high spatial resolution is essential to better understand this impact and the role of exosomal EpCAM in recipient cells.

The first successful synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles using CyreneTM as a biodegradable and non-toxic solvent in click chemistry has been developed. In contrast to previous methods, this sustainable approach allows product isolation by simple precipitation in water, eliminating the need for organic solvent extractions and column chromatography purifications, thus minimizing waste consumption while reducing operational costs. The protocol, performed also at gram scale, has broad applicability and versatility, as shown with complex substrates like biologically active coumarins or triazole-linked bifunctional molecules.
