Therapeutic goals for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) consist of inhibiting the inflammatory response and repairing the damaged bone/cartilage. Tissue engineering could achieve both goals, however, it was hindered due to the lack of biologically relevant tissue complexity, limitation in covering the entire polyarthritis lesions and requirement of extra surgical implantation. Integrating nanotechnologies into clinically sized implants represents a major opportunity to overcome these problems. Herein, we designed a sialic acid (SA)-modified chitosan oligosaccharide-based biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP), a biomimetic nanoplatform that could load with methotrexate. We found that SA modification could not only improve the accumulation of the designed organic-inorganic nanoplatform in arthritic paws (34.38% higher than those without SA modification at 48 h), but also cooperate with BCP to exert synergetic mineralization of calcium phosphate, allowing more osteoblasts to attach, proliferate and differentiate. The more differentiated osteoblasts produced 4.46-fold type I collagen and 2.60-fold osteoprotegerin compared to the control group. Besides, the disassembled nanorods released chitosan oligosaccharide-based micelles, revealing a cartilage-protective effect by reducing the loss of glycosaminoglycan. All these improvements contributed to the light inflammatory response and reduced destruction on cartilage/bone. The findings provide a novel strategy for RA therapy via nanometer-scale dimension mimicking the natural tissues.

Biomass wood adhesives have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional synthetic resins due to their ability to address issues related to formaldehyde pollution and reliance on petrochemical resources. However, these adhesives are generally not recyclable and require high curing temperatures. Herein, a novel eco-friendly, strong, and recyclable chitosan oligosaccharide (CS)-based wood adhesive named CS-PB was developed using CS, lignin-derived 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, and 1,4-phenylenediboronic acid.

Article Synopsis
- * HMCs are spherical with defined cavities that enable effective accommodation of AN, achieving a loading efficiency of approximately 33.39%.
- * Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the binding of HMC and AN is due to electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding, and the resulting complex shows no significant cytotoxicity, suggesting its potential for safe oral delivery of active compounds.
Inhibition of insulin fibrillation by carboxyphenylboronic acid-modified chitosan oligosaccharide based on electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic interactions.

A novel inhibitor, carboxyphenylboronic acid-modified chitosan oligosaccharide (COS-CPBA), was developed by coupling carboxyphenylboronic acid (CPBA) with chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) to inhibit insulin fibrillation. Extensive biophysical assays indicated that COS-CPBA could decelerate insulin aggregation, hinder the conformational transition from α-helix to β-sheet structure, change the morphology of insulin aggregates and alter fibrillation pathway. A mechanism for the inhibition of insulin fibrillation by COS-CPBA was proposed.

Objective: Fabrication and analyses of mucoadhesive patches made from chitosan oligosaccharide for the purpose of oromucosal drug delivery.
Significance: The mucosal epithelium in the oral cavity, consisting of buccal and sublingual epithelium, has gained significant attention in the last decade as an alternative anatomical site for systemic drug delivery that could potentially minimize the challenges of solid oral dosage and parenteral delivery. In this study, we have fabricated and tested drug-loaded chitosan oligosaccharide-based patches for the oromucosal drug delivery.

Article Synopsis
- - The study developed blend films using poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and varying concentrations of chitosan oligosaccharides (COS), resulting in films with a brown hue and notable changes in their properties.
- - FTIR spectroscopy and thermal analysis indicated that a 5.0 wt% COS concentration enhanced hydrogen bonding, crystallinity, and water evaporation in the films, improving their mechanical stability compared to the control film.
- - The films demonstrated excellent antimicrobial activity when loaded with ciprofloxacin HCl and were found to be biocompatible, suggesting potential applications in drug delivery systems.
