Biomedical Potential of the Deep-Sea Vent Mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus: Integrating Immunity, Bioadhesion, Biomineralization, and Targeted Transcriptomic Reanalysis

The deep sea harbors a substantial proportion of the ocean’s unexplored biological and chemical diversity, while hydrothermal vent ecosystems expose resident organisms to unusual combinations of hydrostatic pressure, steep chemical gradients, reduced compounds, and elevated metal concentrations. This Review examines th...

Therapeutic potential of chitosan-based bioadhesive hydrogels in diabetic wound healing.

We describe adhesive and self-healing hydrogels of chitosan functionalized with catechol groups (Chit-Cat) and crosslinked with β-glycerophosphate for the treatment of chronic diabetic wounds. Catechol functionalization enhanced the antibacterial activity of the hydrogels, eliminating both Gram-negative and Gram-positi...
