For thousands of years, fungi have been a valuable and promising source of therapeutic
agents for treatment of various diseases. Mushroom is a macrofungus which has been …

Legume lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins of non-immune origin. Significant
amounts of lectins have been found in Phaseolus vulgaris beans as far back as in the last …

Lectins hold great promise not only as reagents for diagnostics and drug discovery but also
as a novel class of biopharmaceutical products. In fact, new research directions in the last …

This review examines the application of polymer brush–modified flat surfaces, membranes,
and beads for protein immobilization and isolation. Modification of porous substrates with …

The present study examines the dynamic adsorption through ion-exchange membrane
adsorbers. The model used in the study includes convection, axial dispersion with …

Porous membrane absorbers are attractive for increasing the rate of protein purification, but
their binding capacity is low relative to porous beads. Modification of membranes with …

Strategies to control outbreaks of influenza, a contagious respiratory tract disease, are
focused mainly on prophylactic vaccinations in conjunction with antiviral medications …

Electrospun regenerated cellulose (RC) nanofiber membranes were prepared starting from
cellulose acetate (CA) with different degrees of substitution. The process was optimized to …

The artificial glycocalyx fabricated by carbohydrates is of interest because it provides a
platform to simulate the cell membranes that widely exist in the nature, and thus enable …

This work details the design and testing of affinity membrane adsorbers for lectin
purifications that incorporate glucose‐containing glycopolymers. It is the selective interaction …
