Alginate and tunicate nanocellulose composite microbeads – Preparation, characterization and cell encapsulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Alginate has been used for decades for cell encapsulation. Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) from tunicates are desirable in biomedicine due to high molecular weight, purity, crystallinity, and sustainable production. We prepared ... -
Alginate gels with a combination of calcium and chitosan oligomer mixtures as crosslinkers
(Journal article, 2017)Alginates are polysaccharides that are widely used in relation to their ability to form gels. Recently we reported that alginates may also form gels with chitosan oligomers as crosslinkers (Khong, Aarstad, Skjåk-Bræk, ... -
Chemical and biological characterization of pectin-like polysaccharides from the bark of the Malian medicinal tree Cola cordifolia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012) -
Click chemistry for block polysaccharides with dihydrazide and dioxyamine linkers - A review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Engineered block polysaccharides is a relatively new class of biomacromolecules consisting of chemical assembly of separate block structures at the chain termini. In contrast to conventional, laterally substituted ... -
Conformation of carboxylated schizophyllan in aqueous solution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Carboxylated schizophyllan (sclerox) samples of different degrees of oxidation were molecularly characterized by size exclusion chromatography equipped with a multi-angle light scattering detector (SEC-MALS) in 0.10 M ... -
Degradation kinetics of peptide-coupled alginates prepared via the periodate oxidation reductive amination route
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Biomaterials based on peptide-coupled alginates must provide both optimal biological environments and tuneable stability/degradation profiles. The present work investigates the degradation pattern and kinetics of peptide-coupled ... -
Dicarboxylated hyaluronate: Synthesis of a new, highly functionalized and biocompatible derivative
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Sequential periodate-chlorite oxidation of sodium hyaluronate to 2,3-dicarboxylated hyaluronate (DCH), a novel biocompatible and highly functionalized derivative bearing additional pair of single bondCOOH groups at C2 and ... -
Effects of carboxylation of the side chains on the order-disorder transition in aqueous solution of schizophyllan, a triple helical polysaccharide
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Schizophyllan and scleroglucan are water-soluble polysaccharides having repeating units consisting of three β-1,3-linked glucose residues in the main chain and a single β-1,6-linked glucose residue as the side chain. This ... -
Investigation of the structural and immunomodulatory properties of alkali-soluble β-glucans from Pleurotus eryngii fruiting bodies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Fungal β-glucans have received a lot of interest due to their proinflammatory activity towards cells of the innate immune system. Although commonly described as (1➔3)-β-glucans with varying degree of (1➔6)-branching, the ...
