Abstract
Postmodification of alginate-based microspheres with polyelectrolytes (PEs) is commonly used in the cell encapsulation field to control microsphere stability and permeability. However, little is known about how different applied PEs shape the microsphere morphology and properties, particularly in vivo. Here, we addressed this question using model multicomponent alginate-based microcapsules postmodified with PEs of different charge and structure. We found that the postmodification can enhance or impair the mechanical resistance and biocompatibility of microcapsules implanted into a mouse model, with polycations surprisingly providing the best results. Confocal Raman microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) analyses revealed stable interpolyelectrolyte complex layers within the parent microcapsule, hindering the access of higher molar weight PEs into the microcapsule core. All microcapsules showed negative surface zeta potential, indicating that the postmodification PEs get hidden within the microcapsule membrane, which agrees with CLSM data. Human whole blood assay revealed complex behavior of microcapsules regarding their inflammatory and coagulation potential. Importantly, most of the postmodification PEs, including polycations, were found to be benign toward the encapsulated model cells.

Abstract
In this study, 1-bromohexyl-1methylpiperidinium bromide (Br-6-MPRD) ionic liquid grafted quaternized chitosan (QCS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blends were composited with glycidyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (GTMAC) quaternized silica (QSiO2) at different dosages. Glutaraldehyde (GA) crosslinked the membranes and then processed into hydroxide form with an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. The resultant IL-QCS/PVA/QSiO2 membranes exhibit significantly improved ionic conductivity, moderate water absorption and swelling ratio compared with the pristine IL-QCS/PVA anion exchange membrane (AEM). Among them, the hydroxide ion conductivity and power density of IL-QCS/PVA/QSiO2-7 membrane can reach up to 78 mS cm-1 at 80 °C and 115 mW cm-2 at 60 °C respectively. In addition, IL-QCS/PVA/QSiO2 membranes have excellent thermal, mechanical, and chemical stabilities, which can meet the application requirements of AEM for fuel cells.

Abstract
AbstractThis study intends to develop a novel bioactive chitosan Schiff base (CTS-SB) derivative via coupling of chitosan (CTS) with 4-((5, 5-dimethyl-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-yl) amino) benzene-sulfonamide. The alteration in the chemical structure of CTS-SB was verified using 1H NMR and FT-IR analysis, while the thermal and morphological properties were inspected by TGA and SEM characterization tools, respectively. Ion exchange capacity of the developed CTS-SB derivative recorded a maximal value of 12.1 meq/g compared to 10.1 meq/g for pristine CTS. In addition, antibacterial activity of CTS-SB derivative was greatly boosted against Escherichia coli (E coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. Minimum inhibition concentration of CTS-SB derivative was perceived at 50 µg/mL, while the highest concentration (250 µg/mL) could inhibit the growth of S. aureus up to 91%. What’s more, enhanced antidiabetic activity by CTS-SB derivative, which displayed higher inhibitory values of α-amylase (57.9%) and α-glucosidase (63.9%), compared to those of pure CTS (49.8 and 53.4%), respectively Furthermore, cytotoxicity investigation on HepG-2 cell line revealed potential anticancer activity along with good safety margin against primary human skin fibroblasts (HSF cells) and decent cytocompatibility. Collectively, the gained results hypothesized that CTS-SB derivative could be effectively applied as a promising antibacterial, anticancer and antidiabetic agent for advanced biomedical applications.

Abstract
Considering the critical energy challenges and the generation of zero-emission anion exchange membrane (AEM) sources, chitosan-based anion exchange membranes have garnered considerable interest in fuel cell applications owing to their various advantages, including their eco-friendly nature, flexibility for structural modification, and improved mechanical, thermal, and chemical stability. The present mini-review highlights the advancements of chitosan-based biodegradable anion exchange membranes for fuel cell applications published between 2015 and 2022. Key points from the rigorous literature evaluation are: grafting with various counterions in addition to crosslinking contributed good conductivity and chemical as well as mechanical stability to the membranes; use of the interpenetrating network as well as layered structures, blending, and modified nanomaterials facilitated a significant reduction in membrane swelling and long-term alkaline stability. The study gives insightful guidance to the industry about replacing Nafion with a low-cost, environmentally friendly membrane source. It is suggested that more attention be given to exploring chitosan-based anion exchange membranes in consideration of effective strategies that focus on durability, as well as optimization of the operational conditions of fuel cells for large-scale applications.

Abstract
Cationic polysaccharides are capable of forming polyplexes with nucleic acids and are considered promising polymeric gene carriers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the transfection efficiency and cytotoxicity of N-[(2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammonium)propyl] chitosan salt (HTCS), a quaternary ammonium derivative of chitosan (CS), which benefits from non-ionizable positive charges. In this work, HTCS with a full quaternization of amino groups and a molar mass of 130,000 g·mol−1 was synthesized to use for delivery of a plasmid encoding the interleukin-12 (IL-12) gene. Thus, a polyplex based on HTCS and the IL-12 plasmid was prepared and then was characterized in terms of particle size, zeta potential, plasmid condensation ability, and protection of the plasmid against enzymatic degradation. We showed that HTCS was able to condense the IL-12 plasmid by the formation of polyplexes in the range of 74.5 ± 0.75 nm. The level of hIL-12 production following the transfection of the cells with HTCS polyplexes at a C/P ratio of 8:1 was around 4.8- and 2.2-fold higher than with CS and polyethylenimine polyplexes, respectively. These findings highlight the role of HTCS in the formation of polyplexes for the efficient delivery of plasmid DNA.

Abstract
Breast cancer is considered one of the utmost neoplastic diseases globally, with a high death rate of patients. Over the last decades, many approaches have been studied to early diagnose and treat it, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and MRI and biomarker tests; do not show the optimal efficacy. These existing approaches are accompanied by severe side effects, thus recognizing these challenges, a great effort has been done to find out the new remedies for breast cancer. Main finding: Nanotechnology opened a new horizon to the treatment of breast cancer. Many nanoparticulate platforms for the diagnosis of involved biomarkers and delivering antineoplastic drugs are under either clinical trials or just approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is well known that natural phytochemicals are successfully useful to treat breast cancer because these natural compounds are safer, available, cheaper, and have less toxic effects. Chitosan is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer. Further, it has outstanding features, like chemical functional groups that can easily modify our interest with an exceptional choice of promising applications. Abundant studies were directed to assess the chitosan derivative-based nanoformulation's abilities in delivering varieties of drugs. However, the role of chitosan in diagnostics and theranostics not be obligated. The present servey will discuss the application of chitosan as an anticancer drug carrier such as tamoxifen, doxorubicin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, etc. and also, its role as a theranostics (i.e. photo-responsive and thermo-responsive) moieties. The therapeutic and theranostic potential of chitosan in cancer is promising and it seems that to have a good potential to get to the clinic.

Abstract
In this study, 2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HTCC)-based hydrogel was devised as a mucosal adjuvant for H5N1 vaccine. Aimed to investigate the structure activity relationship between HTCC hydrogel and immune response, we prepared a series of HTCC hydrogel with defined quaternization degrees (DQs, 0%, 21%, 41%, 60%, 80%). Results suggested that with DQ increasing, the positive charge and gelation time of HTCC hydrogel increased but the viscosity decreased. We applied in vivo imaging system and found that the moderate DQ 41% prolonged antigen residence time in nasal cavity, resulting in the most potent systemic responses (IgG, IgG1, IgG2a, HI). While, the lowest DQ 0% produced the best mucosal IgA antibody responses, most likely due to the closer contact with mucosa. Furthermore, the influence of animal gender was also discussed. These data add to the growing understanding of the relationship between physicochemical features of chitosan-based hydrogel and how they influence the immune responses.

Abstract
The development of cheap and easily available injectable hydrogel is an urgent problem in the field of biomedical engineering. Herein, we used chitosan quaternary ammonium salt and sodium alginate to prepare a dual crosslinking hydrogel. The hydrogel formed in-situ crosslinking and can be injected continuously. Interestingly, the formed hydrogel possessed a homogeneous 3D network structure and exhibited reasonable mechanical properties. Moreover, the hydrogels had excellent injectability, and the compression strength of the hydrogel (Gel-0.5) was up to 27.65 kPa. Additionally, the hydrogel showed good biocompatibility that evaluated by cytotoxicity. Notably, the hydrogel was nontoxic toward NIH-3T3 cells. In summary, the hydrogel we produced can be used as an ideal biomaterial for further applications in the field of biomedical engineering.
