Summary: Polydopamine (PDA) is used as a biocompatible mediator for fabricating glucose oxidase (GOx) based bioanode of enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs). Through the autoxidation and polymerization of dopamine monomer, spherical PDA particles are well synthesized, and their chemical and optical characteristics are verified. The durability of the bioanode is improved by introducing polyethyleneimine (PEI) as a catalyst, which effectively suppresses the leaching out of PDA and GO(x) molecules. The suggested new catalyst shows better performance and higher power density in EBFC.

Summary: Bone defects and injuries are difficult problems in regenerative medicine. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) techniques use biomaterials as scaffolds to support bone tissue healing. In this study, composite corn starch/hydroxyapatite nanoparticle (HAp) biomembranes were synthesized to achieve bioresorbable and bioactive properties for GBR applications. The biomembranes showed homogeneous dispersion of HAp and had increased biodegradability and ability to release Ca2+. The addition of HAp improved the mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and fracture healing efficiency of the biomembranes. Therefore, corn starch/HAp biomembranes have excellent characteristics for GBR material development.
