DEVELOPMENT OF A 3D ZWITTERIONIC HYDROGEL SYSTEM FOR CELL CULTURE AND EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES
… research has shown the effectiveness of 3D zwitterionic scaffolds in supporting the growth of suspension hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, the application of hydrogels for 3D culturing of EV-producing cells like human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells and neutrophils has not been …

Synthesis and Evaluation of Biological Activity of a Potential Immunomodulatory Zwitterionic Polysaccharide
… thus far, out of which two were found to be zwitterionic polymers, PSA1 and PSA2. PSA1 was found to stimulate T-cell lineage of the immune system because of the dual charge structural feature of the molecule.</p> <p>This dissertation discusses about the synthesis of a PSA1 analogue and …

Developing Low Fouling Peptides and Zwitterionic Materials for Biomedical Applications
… of efforts aimed at developing mixed charge and zwitterionic materials to prevent biofouling in biomedical applications. Peptides are considered for use as natural low fouling materials due to their biocompatibility, diverse chemical properties, well-defined sequence, and biodegradability. Low …

Molecular Engineering Approaches against Germs, Spores and Biofilm Formation
… three-fold: first, to expand the existing zwitterionic nonfouling polymer platform for the search of novel and pragmatic solutions to bacterial surface adhesion and subsequent proliferation; second, to adopt a chemical biology approach to understand and potentially combat the extreme …

Tending towards Non-fouling: A study of the interaction between proteins and surfaces prepared by radio frequency glow-discharge plasma
… via SI-ARGET ATRP, and b) create novel quasi-zwitterionic or mixed-charged surfaces that closely resemble the chemistry of zwitterionic polymers and therefore are capable of reducing protein adsorption. In addition to preparing non-fouling surfaces to prevent protein adsorption, it is also …

Synthesis of Polysaccharide-based Biomaterials for Drug Delivery
… hydrogels, and amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) polymers were developed. Conjugating a polysaccharide to a protein drug via a covalent bond may improve its medical properties including solubility, stability, immunogenicity, circulation time, and targeting ability. Regioselectivity of conjugation …
