Ionizing radiation has become the most effective way to modify natural and synthetic
polymers through crosslinking, degradation, and graft polymerization. This review will …

Engineering complex tissues for research and clinical applications relies on high-
performance biomaterials that are amenable to biofabrication, maintain mechanical integrity …

The production of injectable pectin hydrogels by internal gelation with calcium carbonate is
proposed. The pH of pectin was increased with NaOH or NaHCO 3 to reach physiological …

The fabrication of bioactive three-dimensional (3D) hydrogel scaffolds from biocompatible
materials with a complex inner structure (mesoporous and macroporous) and highly …

For both the incorporation of cells and future therapeutic applications the sterility of a
biomaterial must be ensured. However, common sterilisation techniques are intense and …

In situ-forming hydrogels of pectin, a polysaccharide present in the cell wall of higher plants,
were prepared using an internal ionotropic gelation strategy based on calcium carbonate/D …

β-glucans are derived from a variety of sources including yeast, grain and fungus and
belong to the class of drugs known as biological response modifiers. They possess a broad …

This study aims at analyzing the modifications in the morphological, physical, chemical and
thermal properties of commercial poly (lactic acid)(PLA) films after exposure to five different …

People's pursuit to additive-free products inspired us to find natural functional compositions
to improve bread quality. Ganoderma Lucidum is used as nutraceutical Chinese traditional …

Abstract Schizophyllan (SPG), a β-glucan produced by the fungus Schizophyllum commune,
possesses a β-(1→ 3)-linked backbone with single β-(1→ 6)-linked glucose side chains at …
