Summary: Cellulose was used as raw material for the production of sorbent microspheres for selective separation of uranyl ions. An amidoxime cellulosic derivative (AOCE) was synthesized by Michael addition followed by amidoximation reaction, and microspheres of ion-imprinted U-AOCE sorbent were made by crosslinking the UO22+ polymer complex with glyoxal and eluting the coordinated ions with H+/EDTA. The adsorption capacity of U-AOCE was significantly higher with enhanced adsorption selectivity for UO22+. The primary adsorption process involved coordination between UO22+ and the-NH2 and-OH groups of the amidoxime units.

Summary: In order to ensure environmental and industrial sustainability, the extraction of cadmium ions (Cd(II)) from effluents is necessary. However, achieving high-efficiency Cd(II) extraction has been challenging due to slow rates and low selectivity. This study utilized an ion-imprinting method to imprint Cd(II) onto a thiosemicarbazide-chitosan derivative (TCCS), which was synthesized through an unconventional synthetic route. The developed Cd-TCCS exhibited significantly higher adsorption capabilities and enhanced adsorption selectivity when compared to non-imprinted sorbent.

Summary: Amino-phenolic chitosan derivative was used to imprint uranyl ions, resulting in a high-efficiency sorbent material (U-APCS) with improved selectivity and adsorption capacity for UO22+. The adsorption mechanism was determined to be chemisorption or coordination, and the adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and a Langmuir isotherm model. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption of UO22+ was endothermic and spontaneous.

Summary: Chitosan was used as a bio-based product for the development of microparticles that can specifically remove cerium ions through ion-imprinting technology. Microparticles with thiosalicylic hydrazide-modified chitosan (TSCS) were prepared and demonstrated good selectivity for Ce3+ removal. The mechanism of adsorption was found to be chelation of Ce3+ with the chelating units on TSCS.

Summary: This Account summarizes recent examples that employ nucleobase interactions to generate functional biomaterials by judicious design of the building blocks. Different strategies to employ nucleobase interactions in polymeric systems in order to achieve self-assembled nanomaterials with versatile properties are discussed. Moreover, the potential biological/material applications of complementary nucleobase interactions, such as enhanced drug encapsulation, superior adhesion, and fast self-healing properties, are emphasized. Issues and challenges faced by this class of materials are identified and future directions for the exploration of functional materials are proposed to advance the development of nucleobase-functionalized systems for biomaterial design.

Summary: The accurate detection of biological substances such as proteins has always been a hot topic in scientific research. Biomimetic sensors seek to imitate sensitive and selective mechanisms of biological systems and integrate these traits into applicable sensing platforms. Molecular imprinting technology has been extensively practiced in many domains, producing molecular recognition materials with specific capabilities. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), also known as plastic antibodies, are artificial receptors with high-affinity binding sites for a particular molecule or compound. MIPs for protein recognition are expected to have high affinity through interactions between polymer matrices and functional groups of the target protein. This critical review discusses recent advances in the synthesis, characterization, and application of MIP-based sensor platforms for protein detection.

Summary: As a promising approach in translational medicine, the decellularization of discarded livers to produce bioscaffolds that support recellularization has potential in overcoming the limitations of conventional liver transplantation. In this study, the researchers investigated the use of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition to preserve the extracellular matrix (ECM) during liver decellularization. The results demonstrated that the application of an MMP inhibitor significantly improved the preservation of ECM components and mechanical properties of the bioscaffolds, which supported cell viability and function in vitro. The study also confirmed that the MMP inhibition led to the inhibition of MMP2 and MMP9, providing a novel method to enhance ECM preservation during liver decellularization.

Summary: Human skin equivalents (HSEs) play a crucial role in tissue engineering. This study introduces a 3D-printed culture insert to apply a static radial constraint on HSEs and examines its effects on tissue characteristics. The results show that the diameter of the culture insert significantly influences tissue contraction, fibroblast and matrix organization, keratinocyte differentiation, epidermal stratification, and basement membrane formation. This study provides important insights for the design of skin tissue engineering.

Summary: This paper reviewed the primary methods for improving the overall properties of biodegradable zinc stents. It discussed the mechanical properties, degradation behavior, and biocompatibility of various improvement strategies. Alloying was found to be the most common, simple, and effective method for improving mechanical properties. Deformation processing and surface modification further improved the mechanical properties and biological activity of zinc alloys. Meanwhile, structural design could endow stents with special properties. Manufacturing zinc alloys with excellent properties and exploring their interaction mechanism with the human body are areas for future research.
