Abstract Scope |
The main polysaccharide component, arabinoxylan (AX) was extracted from wheat bran and cattail. The functionalization of wheat bran AX with positive and negatively charge promoted the formation of nanoparticulate structures. The cationic AX was encapsulated with CRISPR-Cas9 DNA and observed the formation of polyplexes with DNA in the form of nanoparticles. Different species of gut bacteria were grown in media supplemented with AX. The enzymatic degradation along with hydrolysis produced arabinoxylan oligosaccharides (AXOS) and influenced the growth and development of bacteria. Different combinations of AX and others polymers were mixed to prepare polymeric scaffolds and breast cancer cells, HTB-22 and HTB-26, were cultured on the scaffolds. Also, the thermoplastic composite with as high as 30% wheat bran showed comparable mechanical properties with those of net polymers. |
