In this Article, we present a new strategy for preparing an antihemoglobin biointerface on cellulose. The preparation method is based on functionalization of the cellulose surface by the irreversible adsorption of CMC, followed by covalent linking of antibodies to CMC. This would provide the means for affordable and stable cellulose-based biointerfaces for immunoassays. The preparation and characterization of the biointerface were studied on Langmuir-Schaefer cellulose model surfaces in real time using the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation and surface plasmon resonance techniques. The stable attachment of antihemoglobin to adsorbed CMC was achieved, and a linear calibration of hemoglobin was obtained. CMC modification was also observed to prevent nonspecific protein adsorption. The antihemoglobin-CMC surface regenerated well, enabling repeated immunodetection cycles of hemoglobin on the same surface.

Environmental contamination from oil spills and industrial wastewater poses long-term risks to ecosystems and human health. Amyloid fibrils' superior stiffness and stability, outstanding biocompatibility and biodegradability, versatile functional groups, and high specific surface area make them promising sustainable adsorbents. This study is aimed at examining the application of three-dimensional polysaccharide-modified whey protein amyloid fibril (WPIAF) aerogels in oil/water separation and emulsion separation.

Polymeric bio-composites synthesized a green approach using natural herbs have fascinating anticoagulant activity due to their eco-friendly and non-toxic behavior towards various physical and chemical actions. Herein, we introduce a simple and eco-friendly approach for the fabrication of a new hybrid type of bio-composite based on sulfated carboxymethyl cellulose (S-CMC) and leaf powder (S-CMC/NLP). First, a non-toxic sulfating agent called N(SONa) was used to modify carboxymethyl cellulose into S-CMC.

To elucidate the degradation mechanism of the CMC-modified MMT composite at aggressive Cu concentrations, large scale molecular dynamics simulation was conducted for CuCl concentrations ranging from 0 to 800 mM. Both CMC and MMT followed the Langmuir isotherm for Cu adsorption, and the adsorption capacity of CMC (8.75 mmol/g) was much higher than that of MMT (0.

Benzene, a potent carcinogen, is known to cause acute myeloid leukaemia. While chemotherapy is commonly used for cancer treatment, its side effects have prompted scientists to explore natural products that can mitigate the haematotoxic effects induced by chemicals. One area of interest is nano-theragnostics, which aims to enhance the therapeutic potential of natural products.
