Dynamic covalent chemistry applied to polymers has attracted significant attention over the past decade. Within this area, this review highlights the recent research on polysaccharide-based hydrogels cross-linked by boronic ...

The encapsulation of amino acids (AAs) and their correct preservation before they are ingested are challenging tasks. Nonpolar (l-alanine and l-phenylalanine), polar (l-cysteine hydrochloride and l-asparagine), and charged ...

Bioinspired free-standing nanomembranes (FSNMs) for selective ion transport have been tailored by immobilizing the Omp2a ß-barrel membrane protein inside nanoperforations created in flexible poly(lactic acid) (PLA) ...

Progress in the chemical sciences has formed the world we live in, both on a macroscopic and on a nanoscopic scale. The last decade witnessed the development of high performance materials that storage charge on many ways, ...

CRENKA [Cys-Arg-(NMe)Glu-Lys-Ala, where (NMe)Glu refers to N-methyl-Glu], an anti-cancer pentapeptide that induces prostate tumor necrosis and significant reduction in tumor growth, was engineered to increase the resistance ...

Six acrylamide resins, derived from l-phenylalanine and l-leucine, are designed for application in digital light processing (DLP) printers to obtain biodegradable thermoset polymers. The acrylamide copolymers are prepared ...

Flexible hydrogels are attracting significant interest as solid-like electrolytes for energy storage devices, especially for supercapacitors, because of their lightweight and anti-deformation features. Here, we present a ...

Integrated electrochemical sensors in which plasma-treated poly(lactic acid) (PLA) single material acts as both selective coating layer and electrochemical transductor (electrode) are prepared. Thus, three-dimensional-printed ...

The incorporation of exogenous lactate into cardiac tissues is a regenerative strategy that is rapidly gaining attention. In this work, two polymeric platforms were designed to achieve a sustained release of lactate, ...
