Background: The antioxidant capacity of anthocyanins (AC) rapidly degrades during storage, highlighting the need for their stabilization. The conformational properties and high proline content of sodium caseinate (NaCAS), combined with the formation of NaCAS microgels in the presence of tara gum (TG) and acid gelation, suggest its potential as an effective stabilizing or encapsulating agent of AC.
Results: Spectrofluorimetric results suggest the formation of a complex between NaCAS and AC.

Natural aging is associated with mild memory loss and cognitive decline, and age is the greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. There is substantial evidence that oxidative stress is a major contributor to both natural aging and neurodegenerative disease, and coincidently, levels of redox active metals such as Fe and Cu are known to be elevated later in life. Recently, a pronounced age-related increase in Cu content has been reported to occur in mice and rats around a vital regulatory brain region, the subventricular zone of lateral ventricles.

Purpose: Present blood-contacting materials have not yet demonstrated to be effective in reducing blood coagulation without causing additional side effects clinically. We have developed an endothelial glycocalyx-inspired biomimetic surface that combines nanotopography, heparin presentation, and nitric oxide (NO)-releasing features. The resulting modified surfaces have already shown promise in reducing unfavorable blood-material interactions using platelet-rich plasma.

Introduction: Hyperthermia is an established adjunct in multimodal cancer treatments, with mechanisms including cell death, immune modulation, and vascular changes. Traditional hyperthermia applications are resource-intensive and often associated with patient morbidity, limiting their clinical accessibility. Gold nanorods (GNRs) offer a precise, minimally invasive alternative by leveraging near-infrared (NIR) light to deliver targeted hyperthermia therapy (THT).

Previously, we have developed a novel porous hydroxyapatite/poly l-lactic-co-caprolactone (HA/PLCL) composite sandwich beam as a new scaffold material for bone regeneration. This work presents the study of bending fracture mechanisms and microdamage of porous hydroxyapatite/poly L-lactic-acid (HA/PLLA) sandwich beam, in comparison to the previous developed HA/PLCL sandwich beam. Both beams were fabricated using the sandwich method in which the single porous composite beams were layered in between two porous polymer layers of their kind.
