摘要:
Polymers produced by ring opening polymerization which comprises an amino group that can be used in compositions to deliver a nucleic acid such as a miRNA or a siRNA. In some embodiments, compositions which comprise the polymers described herein and a nucleic acid are also provided herein. In some embodiments, these compositions are used to silence one or more genes in vivo or treat a disease or disorder.
摘要:
Structures and methods of making biodegradable trehalose co-polymers are disclosed. Specifically, biodegradable trehalose co-polymers consist of the general structure R5-[R1R2C - CR3R4]n-[DG]m-R6, wherein R1-R4 are independently selected from hydrogen or a side chain comprising at least one carbon atom, and wherein at least one of R1-R4 is a side chain comprising -L-trehalose, wherein L is a linker molecule that links trehalose to the monomer through at least one of the trehalose hydroxyl groups (-OH), wherein DG is a biodegradable group, and wherein R5 and R6 are end groups.

摘要:
Novel semi-crystalline, segmented copolymers of lactide and epsilon -caprolactone exhibiting long term absorption characteristics are disclosed. The novel polymer compositions are useful for long term absorbable meshes, surgical sutures, especially monofilament sutures, and other medical devices.
摘要:
A pretreated biomass is subjected to high frequency pulses and shear forces without denaturing and/or degrading the individual components of the biomass. The biomass is then subjected to compressive force to separate a first liquid fraction from a first fractionated biomass. The first fractionated biomass may again then be subjected to the same high frequency pulses and shear forces as previously, particularly if there are hemicellulose and/or sugars still present in the first fractionated biomass. Compressive forces are used to separate a second liquid fraction from a second fractionated biomass. The second fractionated biomass is subjected to oxidation. The second fractioned biomass is then subjected to compressive forces to separate out one or more water insoluble components of the biomass in water soluble form and to provide cellulose that has not been denatured and/or degraded and has a lignin contact of less than 7 percent.
