In the present study, affinity adsorption technique was studied for insulin adsorption. Firstly, insulin-imprinted supermacroporous cryogel was prepared for the insulin adsorption. N-methacryloyl-(L)-histidine methyl ester (MAH) was chosen as the monomer. Insulin was complexed with MAH, and insulin-imprinted p(HEMA-MAH) [insulin-(MIP)] cryogel was prepared by free radical polymerization with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) and ammonium persulfate (APS) in an ice bath. Then, insulin was removed from the cryogel by using 0.1 M glycine-HCl buffer (pH: 3.5). The characterization of the cryogel was carried out by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and swelling test. The equilibrium swelling ratios of the cryogels were found to be 8.56±0.42 g H2O/g polymer for p(HEMA) and 7.20±0.36 g H2O/g polymer for insulin-p(HEMA-MAH). Insulin adsorption experiments were performed under different conditions, such as flow rate, medium pH, initial insulin concentration and ionic strength. It was observed that insulin could be repeatedly adsorbed and desorbed with MIP cryogel without any significant decrease in the adsorption capacity.

The bioartificial pancreas, composed of a semi-permeable hydrogel encapsulating insulin-secreting cells, has attracted attention as a treatment for type 1 diabetes. In this study, we developed phospholipid polymer-modified alginate hydrogel beads that encapsulated spheroids of the pancreatic beta cell line MIN6. The hydrogel beads were composed of methacrylated alginic acid, which enabled both ionic and covalent cross-linking, resulting in a hydrogel that was more stable than conventional alginate hydrogels.

Accurate detection of glucose and insulin is crucial for early diagnosis, classification, and timely prevention of diabetes. In this study, we present a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aptasensor for glucose and insulin detection. The SERS aptasensor is composed of gold bipyramidal nanoparticles (Au BPs), SH-aptamer-methylene blue (MB), and thiolated polyethylene glycol (SH-PEG).

Collagen barrier membranes are frequently used in guided tissue and bone regeneration. The aim of this study was to analyze the signature of human serum proteins adsorbed onto collagen membranes using a novel protein extraction method combined with mass spectrometry. Native porcine-derived collagen membranes (Geistlich Bio-Gide, Wolhusen, Switzerland) were exposed to pooled human serum in vitro and, after thorough washing, subjected to protein extraction either in conjunction with protein enrichment or via a conventional surfactant-based method.

Microplastics and nanoplastics (M-NPs) are widespread pollutants in the environment, posing growing risks to human health and garnering increasing concern from researchers. Due to their small particle size, ease of adsorption, and resistance to degradation, M-NPs can retain and migrate in the environment for long-term periods. Upon entering organisms, M-NPs have been reported to cause inflammation and oxidative stress and result in abnormalities in glycolipid metabolism.
