Summary: The SDS/CTAB@Mt composite, prepared through the synergistic effect of CTAB and SDS, showed a highly negatively charged surface and good adsorption properties for malachite green. The adsorption process followed the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics, with a maximum adsorbed amount of 1021.45 mg/g. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption of malachite green onto the composite was spontaneous, exothermic, and led to a decrease in randomness of adsorbed molecules.

Summary: Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly lethal infectious disease. Traditional anti-TB drugs have limitations in terms of toxicity and treatment efficacy. In recent years, the development of new anti-TB drugs using natural biopolymers has gained attention due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity. This study successfully engineered chitosan biguanidine (ChBG) nanoparticles as a safe and effective anti-TB drug. The nanoparticles showed uniform distribution and a small particle size of approximately 38 nm. They exhibited significant inhibitory activity against different M. tuberculosis strains, including drug-resistant strains, with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) lower than that of isoniazid. Furthermore, the ChBG nanoparticles showed no cytotoxicity against normal lung cells in the tested concentration range.

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.
