Article Abstract

Biodegradable polymers are largely employed in the biomedical field, ranging from tissue regeneration to drug/vaccine delivery. The biodegradable polymers are highly biocompatible and possess negligible toxicity. In addition, biomaterial-based vaccines possess adjuvant properties, thereby enhancing immune responses. This Review introduces the use of different biodegradable polymers and their degradation mechanism. Different kinds of vaccines, as well as the interaction between the carriers with the immune system, then are highlighted. Natural and synthetic biodegradable micro-/nanoplatforms, hydrogels, and scaffolds for local or targeted and controlled vaccine release are subsequently discussed.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) affects around 1 in 4000 individuals and represents approximately 25% of cases of vision loss in adults, through death of retinal rod and cone photoreceptor cells. It remains a largely untreatable disease, and research is needed to identify potential targets for therapy. Mutations in 94 different genes have been identified as causing RP, including AGBL5 which encodes the main deglutamylase that regulates and maintains functional levels of cilia tubulin glutamylation, which is essential to initiate ciliogenesis, maintain cilia stability and motility.

The stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a difficulty in urology and current sub-urethral sling treatments are associated with inflamation and recurrence. In this study, we developed a novel tissue-engineered sling with myogenic induced adiposederived stem cells (MI-ADSCs) sheets induced by 5-Aza and combined with electrospun scaffolds of silk fibroin and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (SF/PLGA) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. MI-ADSCs increased α-SMA, MyoD and Desmin the mRNA and protein expression.

This study presents the development of multifunctional starch-based biopolymer films reinforced with nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs), synthesized via a hydrothermal method, and exhibiting a high quantum yield (~70 %). N-CQDs were incorporated into the starch matrix at varying concentrations (0.1-1.

Plastics degradation generates microplastics (MPs), posing a risk to soil function and organisms. Currently, the impact of MPs derived from different polymers remains poorly understood. In this study, the effects of three polymers (polypropylene (PP), polylactic acid (PLA), and polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT)) were investigated at environmentally relevant levels (0, 0.

Biogenic amines (BAs) are organic nitrogen compounds formed through microbial decarboxylation of amino acids during food spoilage and biological metabolism. Therefore, the development of rapid, selective, and cost-effective detection strategies for BAs is significant for ensuring food safety and quality. In this study, a new dicyanoisophorone-based fluorescent probe (IPC) was developed, capable of fluorescence detection of aliphatic primary amines (e.
