Cross Linking News Today

Researchers at Umeå University in Sweden, led by Professor Felipe Cava, have identified a new family of enzymes that creates a unique type of cross-linking between the building blocks of bacterial cell walls.

Scientists from the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation have developed a nanoengineered bioink with improved bonding and cross-linking capabilities for 3D bioprinting of tumor models.

As the executor of life activities, proteins exert their specific biological functions through interactions such as forming protein complexes.

In a question and answer session, four leading ophthalmologists share their experiences with crosslinking, offering pearls that can help peers incorporate the procedure into their practice.

Sodium-ion batteries show promising potential for large-scale energy storage. However, the large size and heavy mass of Na+ always results in huge volume change and inferior electrochemical stability, especially in alloy-type anode materials. Here, molecular engineering of the polymer binders, i.e., cross-linking of poly(acrylic acid) with glycerin (PAA-GLY), reinforces the mechanical properties, eliminates the active protons of PAA, and benefits electrolyte diffusion, thereby remarkably improvi...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.210121 discusses label-free trace detection of bio-molecules by liquid-interface assisted surface-enhanced Raman scattering using a microfluidic chip.

There may soon be a new weapon in our centuries-old battle against germs: the first durable coating that can quickly kill bacteria and viruses and keep on killing them for months at a time.

Researchers explored the risk factors correlated with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2.

Researchers demonstrated DNA origami as a potential platform to display the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain.

Researchers develop a low-cost, non-toxic, and scalable antimicrobial polymer that can be functionalized on diverse fabrics.
