A novel self-healing hydrogel was prepared from a cationic β-cyclodextrin oligomer allyl ether [C(βCD-OM)AE] using a triple cross-linking strategy combining electrostatic interaction, host-guest complexation, and CC bonds as the macrocrosslinker. Here, the C(βCD-OM)AE@Ad gel was successfully prepared by polymerization of
Dynamic covalent polymer networks exhibit unusual adaptability while maintaining the robustness of conventional covalent networks. Typically, their network topology is statistically nonchangeable, and their material properties are therefore nonprogrammable. By introducing topological heterogeneity, we demonstrate a concept of topology isomerizable
Novel magnetic mesoporous molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) with core-shell structure were prepared by simple surface molecular imprinting polymerization using tetrabromobisphenol-S (TBBPS) as the template. The MMIPs-TBBPS were characterized by fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy
Diallyl sulfide (DAS) has been shown to prevent xenobiotic (e.g. ethanol, acetaminophen) induced toxicity and disease (e.g. HIV-1) pathogenesis. DAS imparts its beneficial effect by inhibiting CYP2E1-mediated metabolism of xenobiotics, especially at high concentration. However, DAS also causes toxicity at
Cellular CYP2E1 is well-known to mediate alcohol- (ALC) and acetaminophen- (APAP) induced toxicity in hepatic and extra-hepatic cells. Although exosomes have been gaining importance in understanding mechanism of intra- and inter-cellular communication, the functional role of drug metabolizing cytochrome P450
