This research was done to investigate the synergistic interactions of the gum tragacanth (GT)-sodium alginate (SA) active coatings, incorporated with epigallocatechin gallate and lysozyme, on the quality of large yellow croaker ) during superchilling storage at -3°C. Results showed that the GT-SA active coatings, containing epigallocatechin gallate [EGCG (E), 0.32% w/v], and lysozyme [LYS (L), 0.32% w/v] have reduced the total viable count, psychrophilic bacteria, and spp. by about 1.55 log CFU/g, 0.49 log CFU/g, and 1.64 log CFU/g compared to the control at day 35. The GT-SA active coatings containing EGCG and LYS were effective in lowering the formations of off-odor compounds such as total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), malondialdehyde (MDA), and off-favor amino acid (histidine). The solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (SPME-GC/MS) was applied to characterize and to quantify the volatile compounds of large yellow croaker samples during superchilling storage, while the relative content of the fishy flavor compounds (including 1-octen-3-ol and acetoin) was significantly reduced in the active coatings treated samples. Furthermore, the GT-SA active coatings containing EGCG and LYS treatments was found to be more effective in retarding the migration of water based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results and in maintaining the organoleptic quality of large yellow croaker in superchilling storage at -3°C according to the sensory evaluation results. The results showed that the GT-SA active coating containing EGCG and LYS was effective to be used as a fish preservative to improve the quality and to prolong the shelf life of large yellow croaker in a superchilling storage for at least 7 days.

Abdominal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure, involving in most cases the use of textile meshes providing a mechanical barrier to consolidate the damaged surrounding tissues and prevent the resurgence of the hernia. However, in more than half cases postoperative complications such as adhesions and infections occur at the surface of the mesh, leading to chronic pain for the patient and requiring the removal of the implant. One of the most promising strategies to reduce the risk of postoperative adhesions and infections is to add a physical barrier between the mesh and the abdominal walls.

In this study, we developed calcium alginate-coated nanovesicles derived from macrophage membranes loaded with berberine (Ber@MVs-CA) for the oral treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Ber@MVs-CA demonstrates resistance to gastric acid and controlled drug release in the colonic pH environment, while actively targeting sites of ulcerative colitis injury. pH-responsive release of Ber in Ber@MVs-CA was confirmed through in vitro release experiments.

Developing a catalytic nanoenzyme activated by the tumor microenvironment (TME) shows excellent potential for in situ cancer treatment. However, the rational design of a cascade procedure to achieve high therapeutic efficiency remains challenging. In this study, the colorectal TME-responsive multifunctional cascade nanoenzyme CuO@MnO@glucose oxidase (GOx)@hyaluronic acid (HA) was developed to target in situ cancer starvation/chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/photothermal therapy (PTT).

Biodegradable plastics, primarily aliphatic polyesters, degrade to varying extents in different environments. However, the absence of easily implementable techniques for screening microbial biodegradation potential -coupled with the limitations of non-functional omics analyses- has restricted comparative studies across diverse polymer types and ecosystems. In this study, we optimized a novel airbrushing method that facilitates functional analyses by simplifying the preparation of polyester-coated plates for biodegradation screening.

Early detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is crucial for eliminating this silent killer, especially in resource-limited settings. HCV core antigen (HCVcAg) represents a promising alternative to the current "gold standard" HCV RNA assays as an active viremia biomarker. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemical magneto-immunosensor for the HCVcAg was developed.
