Summary: This review introduces a cost-effective and greener technology for sustainable energy production, which involves bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials into fermentable sugars using cellulases. The immobilization of cellulases on chitosan-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles offers a nanobiocatalytic system that enables easy retrieval, separation, and recycling of cellulases for biomass hydrolysis. This approach shows enormous potential for the sustainable utilization of agro-residues for cellulosic ethanol production.

Summary: This report presents a method for synthesizing C8-aminated pyrrolo-phenanthridines or -indoles through series ortho C(sp(2))-H amination/ipso C(sp(2))-H or C(sp(3))-H arylation. N-benzoyloxyamines undergo site-selective C-H amination with the benzene side using Pd/NBE catalysis. The resulting C8-aminated pyrrolo-phenanthridines exhibit strong fluorescence, and steric hindrance may prevent aggregation-caused quenching.

Summary: A sandwich DNA-immunosensor was developed for quantification of the methylated tumour suppressor gene MGMT, based on aminated reduced graphene oxide electrode and anti-5mC as a methylation bioreceptor. The biosensor can quantify a linear range of concentrations of the MGMT gene from 50 fM to 100 pM under optimised conditions. It has the potential to be a cost-efficient and versatile platform for the detection of DNA methylation-related diseases.

Summary: Lignin, a major bioresource, has the potential to be used as a building block for biopolymer production. In this study, highly pure lignin extracted from co-solvent enhanced lignocellulosic fractionation was utilized to produce biobased non-isocyanate polyurethanes. The mechanical properties of these lignin based polyurethanes can be adjusted by modifying the lignin constituents. The addition of aminated lignin improves the thermal stability of the materials.

Summary: A novel method for the regioselective synthesis of 2-amino-1-naphthols through cascade oxidative annulation of N-acyl-2-aminoacetophenones and alkynes has been successfully developed. This protocol uses no metal catalysts and could be performed with easily available substrates in a single step. The method exhibits broad substrate scope with good functional group compatibility and is amenable for late-stage functionalization of natural compounds and biologically relevant motifs. Mechanistic studies indicated that the additive lithium chloride was effective in the stabilization of persistent C-radical intermediates from N-acyl-2-aminoacetophenone.

Summary: In this study, thin chitosan-gelatin biofilms cross-linked with dialdehyde cellulose nanocrystals were successfully obtained for dressing materials. The selective oxidation of nanocrystals improved the degree of cross-linking and enhanced the performance of the biofilms, such as roughness parameters and antioxidant activity. DNCL showed better cross-linking effects than DAMC. The cross-linking process also improved oxygen permeability and anti-inflammatory properties. Films cross-linked with DAMC exhibited lower toxicity, making them potentially more suitable for medical dressings.

Summary: The study focuses on preparing and characterizing photosensitive composites based on chitosan for photodynamic therapy. Chitosan films with a 5% addition of two BODIPY dyes were prepared and their properties were investigated. The addition of BODIPY to chitosan increased hydrophilicity, structure heterogeneity, and roughness. The presence of iodine atoms in the BODIPY structure caused a bathochromic effect and decreased the emission quantum yield in the composites. BODIPY-doped chitosan showed improved interactions with human serum albumin and acidic alpha-glycoprotein.

Summary: In this study, chitosan films modified by photosensitive BODIPY compounds with and without iodine atoms were prepared and their stability under thermal and UV radiation conditions was investigated. The results showed that BODIPY dyes exhibited good photochemical stability in solid chitosan matrix, but the compound with iodine atoms showed slightly lower stability compared to the one without. Additionally, BODIPY dyes did not affect the thermal stability of chitosan, but their decomposition temperature was lower in the presence of chitosan.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.

The results showed that the multi-layer nanoemulsions significantly enhanced the cellular uptake and antioxidant activity of alpha-tocopherol compared to free coumarin 6. Furthermore, the use of chitosan and dextran sulfate as wall materials in the multi-layer nanoemulsions led to even higher cellular uptake, in vitro bioaccessibility, and antioxidant activity of alpha-tocopherol.
