Carbohydrates are involved in life activities through the interactions with their corresponding
proteins (lectins). Pathogen infection and the regulation of cell activity are controlled by the …

The ever-increasing concerns due to energy crises, climate change, increasing drought and
dwindling water resources, and environmental pollution caused by the petrochemical-based …

Cartilage repair has been a significant challenge in orthopedics that has not yet been fully
resolved. Due to the absence of blood vessels and the almost cell-free nature of mature …

Sugar-derived cyclic acetals were demonstrated to undergo cationic copolymerization with a
vinyl ether (VE) via the vinyl-addition and ring-opening mechanisms. Cyclic acetals were …

Glycopolymers are functional polymers with saccharide moieties on their side chains and
are attractive candidates for biomaterials. Postpolymerization modification can be employed …

Many efforts are continuously undertaken to develop glucose-sensitive biomaterials able of
controlling glucose levels in the body and self-regulating insulin delivery. Hydrogels that …
