In Situ Swelling Behavior of Chitosan-Polygalacturonic Acid/Hydroxyapatite Nanocomposites in Cell Culture Media by Rohit Khanna, Kalpana S. Katti, Dinesh R. Katti

“…Thus, as water enters the Chi-PgA-HAP sample, surface molecular interactions in Chi-PgA-HAP structure occur that result in swelling, causing small changes in nanoscale mechanical properties.…”

Characterization and Comparison of Structure and Physicochemical Properties of Highland Barley Starch of Different Colors by Mengru Han, Xiongying Zhang, Honglu Wang, Jiayue Zhou, Meijin Liu, Xirong Zhou, Aliaksandr Ivanistau, Qinghua Yang, Baili Feng

“…In addition, the weight average molecular weight (6.72 × 10⁷ g/mol), area ratio of APs to AP_L (2.88), relative crystallinity (27.59%), and 1045/1022 (0.730 cm⁻¹) of starch were higher in yellow highland barley (YHB), forming a stable particle structure and increasing the Tp and PV of its starch. A cluster heat map showed that starches from differently colored highland barley vary in fine structure, water solubility, swelling power, and thermal and pasting properties. …”

Role of BDNF-TrkB signaling in the improvement of motor function and neuroplasticity after ischemic stroke in rats by transcranial direct current stimulation by Yu Chen, Lin Mao, Qinxiang Zhou, Dingqun Bai, Yuhan Kong

“…Moreover, tDCS decreased cell swelling after MCAO/R and enhanced the number of neurons. tDCS treatment increased: (1) BDNF, Gap-43, Map-2 expression, (2) KCC2, GABA, and (3) PLCγ, CaMK IV, CREB and ERK1/2, RSK. …”
