Abstract: Peptides with biological properties, that is, bioactive peptides, are a class of biomolecules whose health-promoting properties are increasingly being exploited in food and health products. However, research on targeted techniques for the detection and quantification of these peptides is still in its infancy. Such information is needed in order to enhance the biological and chemometric characterization of peptides and their subsequent application in the functional food and pharmaceutical industries. In this review, the role of classic techniques such as electrophoretic, chromatographic, and peptide mass spectrometry in the structure-informed detection and quantitation of bioactive peptides are discussed. Prospects for the use of aptamers in the characterization of bioactive peptides are also discussed. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Although bioactive peptides have huge potential applications in the functional foods and health area, there are limited techniques in enhancing throughput detection, quantification, and characterization of these peptides. This review discusses state-of-the-art techniques relevant in complementing bioactive detection and profiling irrespective of the small number of amino acid units. Insights into challenges, possible remedies and prevailing areas requiring thorough research in the extant literature for food chemists and biotechnologists are also presented.

Abstract: Dental implants resemble synthetic materials, mainly designed as teeth-mimics to replace the damaged or irregular teeth. Specifically, they are demarcated as a surgical fixture of artificial implant materials, which are placed into the jawbone, and are allowed to be fused with the bone, similar to natural teeth. Dental implants may be categorized into endosteal, subperiosteal, and zygomatic classes, based on the placement of the implant “in the bone” or on top of the jawbone, under the gum tissue. In general, titanium and its alloys have found everyday applications as common, successful dental implant materials. However, these materials may also undergo corrosion and wear, which can lead to degradation into their ionic states, deposition in the surrounding tissues, as well as inflammation. Consequently, nanomaterials are recently introduced as a potential alternative to replace the conventional titanium-based dental implants. However, nanomaterials synthesized via physical and chemical approaches are either costly, non/less biocompatible, or toxic to the bone cells. Hence, biosynthesized nanomaterials, or bionanomaterials, are proposed in recent studies as potential non-toxic dental implant candidates. Further, nanobiomaterials with plant origins, such as nanocelluloses, nanometals, nanopolymers, and nanocarbon materials, are identified to possess enhanced biocompatibility, bioavailability and no/less cytotoxicity with antimicrobial efficacy at low costs and ease of fabrication. In this minireview, we present an outline of recent nanobiomaterials that are extensively investigated for dental implant applications. Additionally, we discuss their action mechanisms, applicability, and significance as dental implants, shortcomings, and future perspectives.

Abstract: The integration of graphene or graphene oxide nanosheets into three‐dimensional (3D) graphene‐based macromolecular assemblies (GMAs), in the form of sponges, beads, fibres, films, and crumpled nanosheets, has greatly advanced their environmental remediation applications. This is attributed to the outstanding physicochemical characteristics and superlative mechanical features of 3D GMAs, including precise and physically linked permeable networks, enormous surface area, profound porosity, and high‐class sturdiness, amongst others. In this review, the recent advancements towards the exploration of 3D GMAs as an exciting new class of high‐performance adsorbents, for eliminating toxic heavy metal ions from both wastewater and freshwater, are systematically summarized and discussed, from both fundamental and applied perspectives. In particular, the numerous surface modification techniques that are actively pursued to enrich the metal adsorption capacity of 3D GMAs, are comprehensively examined. Additionally, associated challenges are pointed out and tactical research strategies and improvements are proposed, with an eye on the conceivable future.

Abstract: The application of proteomic and peptidomic technologies for food-derived bioactive peptides is an emerging field in food sciences. These technologies include the use of separation tools coupled to a high-resolution spectrometric and bioinformatic tools for prediction, identification, sequencing, and characterization of peptides. To a large extent, one-dimensional separation technologies have been extensively used as a continuous tool under different optimized conditions for the identification and analysis of food peptides. However, most one-dimensional separation technologies are fraught with significant bottlenecks such as insufficient sensitivity and specificity limits for complex s les. To address this limitation, separation systems based on orthogonal, multidimensional principles, which allow for the coupling of more than one analytical separation tool with different operational principles, provide a higher separation power than one-dimensional separation tools. This review describes the structure-informed separation and purification of protein hydrolyzates to obtain peptides with desirable bioactivities. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Application of bioactive peptides in the formulation of functional foods, nutraceuticals, and therapeutic agents have increasingly gained scholarly and industrial attention. The bioactive peptides exist originally in protein sources and are only active after hydrolysis of the parent protein. Currently, several tools can be configured in one-dimensional or multidimensional systems for the separation and purification of protein hydrolyzates. The separations are informed by the structural properties such as the molecular weight, charge, hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity, and the solubility of peptides. This review provides a concise discussion on the commonly used analytical tools, their configurations, advantages and challenges in peptide separation. Emphasis is placed on how the structural properties of peptides assist in the separation and purification processes and the concomitant effect of the separation on peptide bioactivity.

Abstract: Flaxseeds (Linum usitatissimum L.) are oilseeds endowed with nutritional constituents such as lignans, lipids, proteins, fibre, carbohydrates, and micronutrients. Owing to their established high nutritional profile, flaxseeds have gained an established reputation as a dietary source of high value functional ingredients. Through the application of varied bioprocessing techniques, these essential constituents in flaxseeds can be made bioavailable for different applications such as nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and food industry. However, despite their food and health applications, flaxseeds contain high levels of phytotoxic compounds such as linatine, phytic acids, protease inhibitors, and cyanogenic glycosides. Epidemiological studies have shown that the consumption of these compounds can lead to poor bioavailability of essential nutrients and/or health complications. As such, these components must be removed or inactivated to physiologically undetectable limits to render flaxseeds safe for consumption. Herein, critical description of the types, characteristics, and bioprocessing of functional ingredients in flaxseed is presented.

Abstract: Effective bimolecular adsorption of proteins onto solid matrices is characterized by in-depth understanding of the biophysical features essential to optimize the adsorption performance. The adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto anion-exchange Q-sepharose solid particulate support was investigated in batch adsorption experiments. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms were developed as a function of key industrially relevant parameters such as polymer loading, stirring speed, buffer pH, protein concentration and the state of protein dispersion (solid/aqueous) in order to optimize binding performance and adsorption capacity. Experimental results showed that the first order rate constant is higher at higher stirring speed, higher polymer loading, and under alkaline conditions, with a corresponding increase in equilibrium adsorption capacity. Increasing the stirring speed and using aqueous dispersion protein system increased the adsorption rate, but the maximum protein adsorption was unaffected. Regardless of the stirring speed, the adsorption capacity of the polymer was 2.8 mg/ml. However, doubling the polymer loading increased the adsorption capacity to 9.4 mg/ml. The result demonstrates that there exists a minimum amount of polymer loading required to achieve maximum protein adsorption capacity under specific process conditions.

Abstract: Invention of novel nanomaterials guaranteeing enhanced biomedical performance in diagnostics and therapeutics, is a perpetual initiative. In this regard, the upsurge and widespread usage of nanoparticles is a ubiquitous phenomenon, focusing predominantly on the application of submicroscopic (& 100 nm) particles. While this is facilitated attributing to their wide range of benefits, a major challenge is to create and maintain a balance, by alleviating the associated toxicity levels. In this minireview, we collate and discuss particularly recent advancements in therapeutic applications of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in skin and cosmetic applications. On the one hand, we outline the dermatological intrusions, including applications in wound healing. On the other hand, we keep track of the recent trends in the development of cosmeceuticals via nanoparticle engrossments. The dermato-cosmetic applications of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles encompass erse aspects, including targeted, controlled drug release, and conferring ultraviolet and antimicrobial protections to the skin. Additionally, we deliberate on the critical aspects in comprehending the advantage of rheological assessments, while characterizing the nanoparticulate systems. As an illustration, we single out psoriasis, to capture and comment on the nanodermatology-based curative standpoints. Finally, we lay a broad outlook and examine the imminent prospects.

Abstract: This work documents the first account of advanced mechanical properties of six commercial lipsticks, some of which serve as market leads. We systematically studied their nonlinear viscoelastic properties under large litude oscillatory shear deformations. At large strains, all lipsticks showed intercycle strain softening, the extent of which initially depended on the prototype in the nonlinear regime. This behavior, markedly, was absent after the crossover of the dynamic moduli. Parameters obtained from the strain litude sweeps, i.e., the intrinsic elastic modulus and the stress maximum, demonstrated distinct prototype dependence. The Lissajous plots and the dimensionless nonlinear indices were determined using the MITlaos software. They showed intracycle elastic strain stiffening and viscous shear thinning. The angular oscillation frequency directly influenced the linear viscoelastic measures of all the benchmark lipsticks, and the nonlinear properties of only a few benchmark ones. The current study generates standard nonlinear rheology data that can be associated with the lipstick sensory attributes and typical tribological parameters. This may serve as an effective way to examine the transition from the initial spreading to the post-application sensation.

Abstract: The food and health applications of bioactive peptides have grown remarkably in the past few decades. Current elucidations have shown that bioactive peptides have unique structural arrangement of amino acids, conferring distinct functionalities, and molecular affinity characteristics. However, whereas interest in the biological potency of bioactive peptides has grown, cost-effective techniques for monitoring the structural changes in these peptides and how these changes affect the biological properties have not grown at the same rate. Due to the high binding affinity of aptamers for other biomolecules, they have a huge potential for use in tracking the structural, conformational, and compositional changes in bioactive peptides. This review provides an overview of bioactive peptides and their essential structure-activity relationship. The review further highlights on the types and methods of synthesis of aptamers before the discussion of the prospects, merits, and challenges in the use of aptamers for bioaffinity interactions with bioactive peptides.

Abstract: Efficient delivery of adequate active ingredients to targeted malignant cells is critical, attributing to recurrent biophysical and biochemical challenges associated with conventional pharmaceutical delivery systems. These challenges include drug leakage, low targeting capability, high systemic cytotoxicity, and poor pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Targeted delivery system is a promising development to deliver sufficient amounts of drug molecules to target cells in a controlled release pattern mode. Aptameric ligands possess unique affinity targeting capabilities which can be exploited in the design of high pay-load drug formulations to navigate active molecules to the malignant sites. This study focuses on the development of a copolymeric and multifunctional drug-loaded aptamer-conjugated poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid)-polyethylenimine (PLGA-PEI) (DPAP) delivery system, via a layer-by-layer synthesis method, using a water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion approach. The binding characteristics, targeting capability, biophysical properties, encapsulation efficiency, and drug release profile of the DPAP system were investigated under varying conditions of ionic strength, polymer composition and molecular weight (MW), and degree of PEGylation of the synthetic core. Experimental results showed increased drug release rate with increasing buffer ionic strength. DPAP particulate system obtained the highest drug release of 50% at day 9 at 1 M NaCl ionic strength. DPAP formulation, using PLGA 65:35 and PEI MW of ∼800 Da, demonstrated an encapsulation efficiency of 78.93%, and a loading capacity of 0.1605 mg bovine serum albumin per mg PLGA. DPAP (PLGA 65:35, PEI MW∼25 kDa) formulation showed a high release rate with a biphasic release profile. Experimental data depicted a lower targeting power and reduced drug release rate for the PEGylated DPAP formulations. The outcomes from the present study lay the foundation to optimize the performance of DPAP system as an effective synthetic drug carrier for targeted delivery.

Abstract: The use of large DNAs in preparing multivalent vaccines that will eventually give protective immunity against multiple pathogenic microbes is becoming a major debate nowadays. One of the important issues in ensuring the successful implementation of the new vaccine technology is the development of a chromatographic technique that can handle larger DNAs. This paper reports the development of a novel conical monolithic column format with pore and surface characteristics engineered for the isolation of 25 kbp DNA in a single step fashion. An effective method of eliminating wall channelling, a defect of most conventional monolithic chromatography systems which has caused significant loss of product, was applied to maximise DNA recovery. This method was based on a systematic reduction of wall channel size based on a predetermined correlation between column’s back pressure and wall channel size of a particular monolith pore size.

Abstract: The study reports first ever account of measurements of linear viscoelastic moduli under small litude oscillatory shear deformations, for commercially available juvenile and aged in vitro 3D reconstructed skin models. The results were compared with those of native male whole human and dermis-only foreskin s les, catering to a wide age group from 0.5 to 68 years, including s les from a 23-year-old male abdomen. In the strain sweep tests, the dermis of the juvenile/young age group assumed a higher intrinsic elastic modulus than the whole skin. A reverse qualitative trend was noted for the adult/aged age group. Confirmed by the histological examination of the stained cross-sections, this is attributed to the nascent epidermal differentiation and the high fiber density of dermal collagen. The oscillation frequency sweeps exposed a greater dependence of the elasticity on the frequency for the native male dermis foreskin s les as compared to the whole skins, irrespective of age. This is anticipated since the extremely structured epidermis confers higher resistance to the whole skins towards intracycle deformations compared to the dermis, thereby storing smaller elastic energy. The 3D skin models examined in this work exhibited a broader linear viscoelastic region, a larger viscoelasticity, and much higher dynamic moduli, compared to the native skin. The rheological trends are a significant addition to the literature and may be used as a reference for the design of next generation of scaffolds.

Abstract: Cardiovascular ailments are the foremost trigger of death in the world today, including myocardial infarction and ischemic heart diseases. To date, extraordinary measures have been prescribed, from the perspectives of both conventional medical therapies and surgeries, to enforce cardiac cell regeneration post cardiac traumas, albeit with limited long-term success. The prospects of successful heart transplants are also grim, considering exorbitant costs and unavailability of suitable donors in most cases. From the perspective of cardiac revascularization, use of nanoparticles and nanoparticle mediated targeted drug delivery have garnered substantial attention, attributing to both active and passive heart targeting, with enhanced target specificity and sensitivity. This review focuses on this aspect, while outlining the progress in targeted delivery of nanomedicines in the prognosis and subsequent therapy of cardiovascular disorders, and recapitulating the benefits and intrinsic challenges associated with the incorporation of nanoparticles. This article categorically provides an overview of nanoparticle-mediated targeted delivery systems and their implications in handling cardiovascular diseases, including their intrinsic benefits and encountered procedural trials and challenges. Additionally, the solicitations of aptamers in targeted drug delivery with identical objectives, are presented. This includes a detailed appraisal on various aptamer-navigated nanoparticle targeted delivery platforms in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular maladies. Despite a few impending challenges, subject to additional investigations, both nanoparticles as well as aptamers show a high degree of promise, and pose as the next generation of drug delivery vehicles, in targeted cardiovascular therapy.

Abstract: This work discusses the first set of rheometric measurements carried out on commercially accessible juvenile and aged skin models under large litude oscillatory shear deformations. The results were compared with those of native male whole human and dermis-only foreskin specimens, catering to a few ages from 0.5 to 68 years, including specimens from a 23-year-old male abdomen. At large strains, strain thinning was more pronounced for the dermis of the young skins and for their whole skin counterparts. An inverse qualitative tendency was observed for the adult skins and the skin models. This can be explained by the high dermal collagen compactness associated with an incomplete epidermal proliferation. The qualitative Lissajous plots as well as the quantitative dimensionless indices analyzed using the MITlaos software indicated predominant nonlinear intracycle elastic strain stiffening and viscous shear thinning for all the native specimens at the maximum deformation. For the full thickness models, we have evidence of structure collapse and yielding under similar conditions. The whole skin specimen from the 68-year-old male showed smaller age-dependent nonlinear elastic contributions than the dermis, which we relate to the epidermal degeneration taking place during aging. Regardless of the age group, the models manifested more pronounced intercycle and intracycle elastic nonlinearities, and their magnitudes were significantly larger. The nonlinear elastic trends will serve as advanced standards for understanding and delineating the mechanical limits of destructive and non-destructive deformations of such unique biomaterials.

Abstract: Immobilisation of aptameric ligands on solid stationary supports for effective binding of target molecules requires understanding of the relationship between aptamer-polymer interactions and the conditions governing the mass transfer of the binding process. Herein, key process parameters affecting the molecular anchoring of a thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) onto polymethacrylate monolith pore surface, and the binding characteristics of the resulting macroporous aptasensor were investigated. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the TBA-thrombin binding indicated enhanced Guanine 4 (G4) structural stability of TBA upon interaction with thrombin in an ionic environment. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analyses were used to characterise the available functional groups and thermo-molecular stability of the immobilised polymer generated with Schiff-base activation and immobilisation scheme. The initial degradation temperature of the polymethacrylate stationary support increased with each step of the Schiff-base process: poly(Ethylene glycol Dimethacrylate-co-Glycidyl methacrylate) or poly(EDMA-co-GMA) [196.0 °C (±1.8)] poly(EDMA-co-GMA)-Ethylenediamine [235.9 °C (±6.1)] poly(EDMA-co-GMA)-Ethylenediamine-Glutaraldehyde [255.4 °C (±2.7)] and aptamer-modified monolith [273.7 °C (±2.5)]. These initial temperature increments reflected in the associated endothermic energies were determined with differential scanning calorimetry. The aptameric ligand density obtained after immobilisation was 480 pmol/μL. Increase in pH and ionic concentration affected the surface charge distribution and the binding characteristics of the aptamer-modified disk-monoliths, resulting in the optimum binding pH and ionic concentration of 8.0 and 5 mM Mg 2+ , respectively. These results are critical in understanding and setting parametric constraints indispensable to develop and enhance the performance of aptasensors.

Abstract: Six Sigma methodology has been successfully applied to daily operations by several leading global private firms including GE and Motorola, to leverage their net profits. Comparatively, limited studies have been conducted to find out whether this highly successful methodology can be applied to research and development (R& D). In the current study, we have reviewed and proposed a process for a probable integration of Six Sigma methodology to large-scale production of Penicillin G and its subsequent conversion to 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). It is anticipated that the important aspects of quality control and quality assurance will highly benefit from the integration of Six Sigma methodology in mass production of Penicillin G and/or its conversion to 6-APA.

Abstract: Hydrogels are highly versatile and widely applicable materials within various scientific, technological, and food sectors. Alginate and gelatin hydrogels, along with their crafted variations, are possibly the most common ones. However, the ionic crosslinking of alginate-Ca++ is a different gelation mechanism than the physical crosslinking of gelatin. In this work, we prepare alginate-Ca++ hydrogels using in idual layer gelation and experimentally evaluate LAOS rheological behavior. We apply shear-stress decomposition using the MITlaos software and obtain the elastic and viscous contributions within the nonlinear response of the in idual alginate-Ca++ layer. We compare these results with the nonlinear responses of the gelatin-alginate ex situ in idual layer. The strain-sweep patterns are similar, with loss modulus overshoot. The applied shear can destroy the larger-scale structural units (agglomerate/aggregates), resulting in analogous patterns. However, the critical strain points are different. Based on the shear-thickening ratio T of the LAOS analysis, it can be assumed that the common feature of ex situ preparation, i.e., gelation as in idual layers, provides a matching bulk microstructure, as the hydrogels differ significantly at a molecular-binding level.

Abstract: The response of semidilute entangled and salt-free solutions of aqueous polyacrylamide under large litude oscillatory shear deformations was studied in this work. We systemically probed the effects of four polymer concentrations from 5 to 15 wt. % and two molecular weights (5–6 and 18 M) at De & 1. The mitlaos software package was utilized to analyze the nonlinear moduli, among other nonlinear parameters. We found that the polymer concentration is the dominant parameter controlling the progression into the nonlinear regime. The trends of elastic decomposition indicate an intensive strain-rate softening behavior under high strain litudes. At high strain rates and at higher concentrations, however, a gradual transition from shear thickening to shear thinning could be noticed for the viscous dissipation. In addition, the effect of the measuring geometry was also considered, since the rheometer was coupled with a particle image velocimetry (PIV) system in the second part of this study. The PIV results suggest that the flow field is significantly altered during the oscillatory cycle. Banded profiles were observed for both molecular weights studied.
