Water pollution by various toxic substances remains a serious environmental problem, especially the occurrence of organic micropollutants including endocrine disruptors, pharmaceutical pollutants and naphthol pollutants. Adsorption process has been an effective method for pollutant removal in wastewater treatment. However, thermal regeneration most widely used activated carbon is costly energy-consuming. Therefore, there increasing need to develop alternative low-cost adsorption materials...
A hydrogel scaffold with a non-fouling but specific cancer cell-adhesive surface was fabricated through modification using β-cyclodextrin-based host-guest chemistry. Interestingly, the not only selectively captured cells, also grew cells into multicellular spheroids. The spheroids could be released without damaging cell viability replacing host moieties on scaffold, and showed no changes in size or morphology.
