Dextran, comprising a family of neutral polysaccharides consisting of an α-(1→ 6) linked d-
glucose main chain with varying proportions of linkages and branches, depending on the …

We report the synthesis and preliminary biologic testing of a synthetic macromolecule,
99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)–mannosyl-dextran, for sentinel node …

We report a new acid-sensitive, biocompatible, and biodegradable microparticulate delivery
system, spermine modified acetalated-dextran (Spermine-Ac-DEX), which can be used to …

Macrophages are white blood cells with diverse functions contributing to a healthy immune
response as well as the pathogenesis of cancer, osteoarthritis, atherosclerosis, and obesity …

Currently, there are over 70 licensed vaccines, which prevent the pathogenesis of around 30
viruses and bacteria. Nevertheless, there are still important challenges in this area, which …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are capable of producing a variety of exopolysaccharide α-
glucans, such as dextran, mutan, reuteran, and alternan. Their structural diversity allows …

A water-soluble exopolysaccharide (EPS) was produced by Leuconostoc ctireum NM105
from homemade manchurian sauerkraut. After culturing the strain in Man–Rogosa–Sharpe …

Angiogenesis has long been accepted as a vital process in the growth and metastasis of
tumors. As a result it is the target of several novel anti-cancer medications. Consequently …

Light is a non-invasive stimulus or probe, which retains more and more attention in science
and technology. In the present review the reader is informed about the important issue of the …
