Natural polymer hydrogels are expected to be promising biomaterial because of its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, but they are soft and easily broken. Herein, the poly (γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA)/bacterial cellulose (BC) composite hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties were constructed by introducing bacterial cellulose. T…[Read more]

Carcinogenesis risk scores for chronic hepatitis B have been proposed, but it remains unclear whether these scores during nucleoside/nucleotide analogue (NA) therapy are useful for risk assessment. In this study, we examined changes of these scores and the predictability during NA treatment. 432 patients with no history of hepatocellular carcinoma…[Read more]

A statistical approach using a polynomial linear model in combination with a probability distribution model was developed to mathematically represent the process of bacterial attachment and study its mechanism. The linear deterministic model was built based on data from experiments investigating bacterial and substratum surface physico-chemical…[Read more]

To further understand the interactions of the complexes, in silico hemozoin docking simulations were performed, attesting to the fact that CO-release could be vital for blocking the hemozoin formation pathway. These results show that this strategy may be a valuable, novel route to design antimalarial agents with higher efficacy.The COVID-19…[Read more]
