Soluble carboxymethylcelluloses (CM-cellulose; CMC) available in varying viscosities are used as viscosity modifiers (thickeners) to stabilize emulsions and as a chemical dispersants of oils and other carbon structures such as nanotubes. CMCs are used in the development of biostructures such as biofilms, emulsions and nanoparticles for drug delivery.

Characterization of endoglucanase III from Trichoderma reesei[1].
The Biochemical journal, 289 ( Pt 3), 867-873 (1993-02-01)
Endoglucanase III (EG III) was purified to homogeneity from the culture medium of Trichoderma reesei QM 9414. It has a molecular mass of 48 kDa, and an isoelectric point of 5.1. Maximal activity was observed between pH4 and 5. Celloligosaccharides

Polyoxometalate/carboxymethyl chitosan nanocomposites with an average diameter of 130 nm are synthesized and labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) for a combined drug-carrier and cellular-monitoring approach. [Eu(β(2) -SiW(11) O(39) )(2) ](13-) /CMC nanospheres as a representative example do not display cytotoxicity

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe and still incurable disease, with heart failure as a leading cause of death. The identification of a disease-modifying therapy may require early-initiated and long-term administration, but such type of therapeutic trial is not
Cisplatin is a potent anticancer drug, but its clinical application has been limited due to its undesirable physicochemical characteristics and severe side effects. Better drug formulations for cisplatin are highly desired. Herein, we have developed a nanoparticle formulation for cisplatin
