A varying oxygen environment is known to affect cellular function in disease as well as activity of various therapeutics. For transient structures, whether they are unconstrained therapeutic transplants, migrating cells during tumor metastasis, or ce...
Currently, microrobots are receiving attention because of their small size and motility, which can be applied to minimal invasive therapy. Additionally, various microrobots using hydrogel with the characteristics of biocompatibility and biodegradabil...
This study reports on removal of acrylamide from roasted coffee by acrylamidase from Cupriavidus oxalaticus ICTDB921. Chitosan coated calcium alginate beads were functionalized with citric acid as nontoxic cross linker and activated by 1-ethyl-3-(3-d...
