Chitosan-alginate films were prepared through layer-by-layer assembly combined with
ferulic acid crosslinking. Their mechanical properties, opacity, and hydrophobicity were …

In this paper, the antimicrobial activity and mechanism of a laccase-catalyzed chitosan–gallic
acid derivative were evaluated. The results showed that compared to the parent chitosan, …

Ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and thermally activated delayed
fluorescence (TADF) materials provide exciting opportunities for the rational design of persistent …

β-Lactoglobulin commonly undergoes conformational changes at different pH levels (eg,
Tanford transition above pH ~7 and dimer-to-monomer dissociation below pH 3.0), which …

The contact inhibition of proliferation (CIP) denotes the cell density-dependent inhibition of
growth, and the loss of CIP represents a hallmark of cancer. However, the mechanism by …

Mechanotransduction and contact inhibition (CI) control gene expression to regulate
proliferation, differentiation, and even tumorigenesis of cells. However, their downstream trans-…

To develop new antimicrobial strategy or agents has always been an eternal topic for the
researchers. In this study, we have found that the visible light can enhance the antibacterial …

Photochromic viologen-based materials have emerged as one of the most promising candidates
for the development of X-ray light detection applications, including medical diagnosis …

Many practical decision-making problems involve dynamic scenarios, where the decision
variables, conditions and/or parameters of their optimization models change over time. Such …
