Design and Characterization of Bovine Serum Albumin Hydrogels: A Promising Platform for Controlled Drug Delivery

Protein-based hydrogels have attracted increasing interest as biocompatible matrices for drug delivery; however, simple systems based exclusively on albumin remain relatively underexplored. Here, we report the formation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) hydrogels generated through mild thermal aggregation (65 °C) without c...

Size-tailored natural polysaccharides for advanced drug delivery: From nano to macro

Natural polysaccharides are valued in drug delivery for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low immunogenicity. Many of these polymers, including chitosan, alginate, hyaluronic acid (HA), and pectin (PEC), originate from food-medicine homology resources and have a long history of safe human use. A key adv...

Polydopamine-functionalized silk-based biomaterial for non-antibiotic antimicrobial therapy.

Silk fibroin is a highly promising biomaterial for wound dressings; however, its lack of inherent antibacterial activity limits broader clinical adoption. In this study, robust antibacterial properties were successfully conferred onto electrospun silk fibroin nanofiber mats using a mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) di...
