Significant enhancement of the catalytic stability and activity was obtained for the heterogeneous palladium catalyst supported on the shell powders-reinforced chitosan microspheres. For example, over 90% cross-coupling yields were achieved using as low as 0.05 mol% palladium catalyst loading for the Heck-type reaction of iodobenzene with n-butyl acrylate. Such significant enhancement of the catalytic stability and activity can be attributed to the intermolecular interactions of the surface polar molecules of the incorporated shell powders with the surrounding chitosan molecules as well as the deposited palladium species.

Bioelectrical stimulation is a powerful technique used to promote tissue regeneration, but it can be hindered by an "electrical overload" phenomenon in the core region of stimulation. We develop a threaded microneedle electrode system that protects against "electrical overload" by delivering medicinal hydrogel microspheres into the core regions. The threaded needle body is coated with polydopamine and chitosan to enhance the adhesion of microspheres, which are loaded into the threaded grooves, allowing for their stereoscopic release in the core regions.

Developing a robust and safe carrier for enzyme immobilization is crucial for their application in the food processing industry. In this study, a novel crosslinked chitosan microspheres (CSMs) were prepared using glutaraldehyde (GA) as the crosslinking agent, using a newly developed emulsification-neutralization combined method. Nuclease P1 (NP1) was immobilized onto these microspheres, the maximum activity of NP1@CSMs-GA reach to 53,859.

The healing of wounds in aging skin is a challenging issue that has not been thoroughly studied. Composite hydrogels made from natural polysaccharides have shown potential as dressings for various types of wounds. In this study, we prepared a polysaccharide-based composite hydrogel to provide a new strategy for treating aging skin wounds.

African swine fever (ASF) is an acute hemorrhagic disease in pigs caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV), which has a high mortality rate and brought great damage to global pig farming industry. At present, there is no effective treatment or vaccine to combat ASFV infection, so early detection of ASFV has become particularly important. Therefore, the PDMS/chitosan/MPMs composite film was proposed to detect ASFV P72.

Colon cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, necessitating advancements in therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes. Current treatment modalities, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, are limited by systemic toxicity, low drug utilization rates, and off-target effects. Colon-targeted drug delivery systems (CDDS) offer a promising alternative by leveraging the colon's unique physiology, such as near-neutral pH and extended transit time, to achieve localized and controlled drug release.
