Sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) analogues derived from plant, algae or microbial
sourced polysaccharides are highly interesting in order to gain bioactivities similar to …

Chemical modification of polysaccharides is important for expanding their applications and
gaining new insights into their structure-property relationships. Here we reported the …

The ex vivo replication of the highly helical and fibril structures of load-bearing soft tissue is
a challenging goal for the study of hydrogels. Inspired by nature, we prepared tissue-like …

Carbohydrates are the most abundant and one of the most important biomacromolecules in
Nature. Although the word carbohydrate sounds simple and has a long history, it covers a …

Curdlan is a bacterial sourced polysaccharide, consisting of a linear backbone of β-1→ 3-
linked glucose (Glc) units. The high interest in pharmaceutical applications of curdlan and …

β-1, 3-glucans are a kind of natural polysaccharide with immunomodulatory, antitumor, and
anti-inflammatory properties. Curdlan, as the simplest linear β-1, 3-glucan, possesses a …

A new C2-regioselective synthetic strategy for Curdlan hetero esters was developed using
benzaldehyde to protect the Curdlan C4 and C6 hydroxyl groups as a cyclic acetal structure …
