Abstract
Background: Chitosan thermoresponsive hydrogel is non-covalent crosslinked intelligent hydrogel. The compositions of the hydrogel determine its gelling property associated with particular structure-interaction effects. Simple and mild preparations as well as desirable bioactivities allow chitosan thermoresponsive hydrogels extensively applied in drug delivery and tissue engineering, especially the exciting proceeding in enzyme-free cell harvest and vascular embolic agent.
Objective: This paper reviewed the classification of chitosan thermoresponsive hydrogels based on different components, emphasizing their gelling capacities, mechanism and applications in biomedical areas.
Keywords: Chitosan, thermoresponsive hydrogel, sol-gel reversible, drug delivery, tissue engineering, cell culture, wound dressing, embolic agent.

Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
