Container structures are ubiquitous in nature, with examples including viruses and various protein assemblies. Researchers at the University of South Dakota have designed and synthesized a series of synthetic container molecules termed metal-organic super-containers (MOSCs) because they are assembled from container precursors, metal ions, and organic...

Biopolymer Drug Loading Method

Poly (Glycerol Sebacate) (PGS) is a newly developed, biodegradable elastic polymer that has tunable mechanical properties, good biocompatibility, and a surface degradation profile making it favorable in many tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. In order to functionalize the PGS material, it is necessary to load drugs and active molecules...

Antifungal Denture Materials

Candida-associated denture stomatitis (CADS) is a common, recurrent disease in denture wearers and can lead to other oral health problems, systemic infections, compromised quality of life, and even death. Currently, there are no effective treatment strategies to control CADS, and the reinfection rate is high, particularly in the elderly and those who...

Sequential Material Deposition for Remineralization and Desensitization of Teeth

Demineralization of the teeth leads to hypersensitivity and dental caries, both significant public health concerns. This phenomenon is primarily caused by acids present in the mouth through the intake of acidic foods or beverages, the production of acids by bacteria present in the mouth, or the regurgitation of stomach acids. Demineralization exposes...
