TL;DR: Although TM8s were inactive in inhibiting the viral replication in cell cultures, the S-TM8 fractions with the defined M(w) range had potent anti-viral activity againstHSV-1 and HSV-2 as shown by the CPE assay and the PRA results suggested that S- TM8 fractions seemed to exert their anti-Viral effect by binding to the viral particles, preventing the latter from infecting the host cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 1.5 M NaOH/0.65 M thiourea aqueous solution by coagulation with 5 wt % CaCl2 and then a 3 Wt % HCl aqueously solution for 2 min was successfully prepared from cellulose and tourmaline nanocrystals with mean diameters of 70 nm.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of universal solvents for the direct dissolution from chitin to chitosan with various DA ranges from 5 to 94% were designed, and robust hydrogels were constructed from their solution via a physical regeneration, for the first time.

TL;DR: In situ gelling of nanocomposite hydrogels based on quaternized cellulose (QC) and rigid rod-like cationic cellulose nanocrystals (CCNCs), which can overcome their poor mechanical properties and have great potential for application in subcutaneous and sustained delivery of anticancer drug to increase therapeutic efficacy and improve patient compliance.

TL;DR: In this article, stiff tunicate cellulose nanocrystals (TCNCs) were introduced to construct tough nanocomposite papers, which were well predicted by a percolating model, indicating the formation of the network of TCNCs.
