Summary: An interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogel was developed by crosslinking nanocellulose and sodium alginate through an acetic acid coagulation bath and Ca2+ chelation. The nanofibers in the hydrogel greatly extended the release time of aspirin to 60 hours, thanks to the well-structured network. Carboxyl groups played a role in the release capacity in different pH environments. This study provides a guide for the preparation of physically crosslinked IPN hydrogels with good mechanical properties and cytocompatibility for drug delivery applications.

Summary: Semi-IPN nanocomposite cryogels based on anionically modified polyacrylamide and sepi-olite have been designed, and the effect of various factors on their mechanical and swelling properties has been investigated. The addition of sepi-olite improved the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites, and the swelling behavior was found to be influenced by the polymerization temperature and sepi-olite content. The semi-IPN cryogels also exhibited pH sensitivity and reversible swelling and de-swelling behavior. Methylene blue and sepi-olite caused modifications on the microstructure of the semi-IPN matrix, resulting in changes in adsorption and diffusion behavior.

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.
