Abstract
The chemical modifications of polysaccharides involve the use of chemical methods to modify some special structures or functional groups of polysaccharides on the main chains or side chains. The chemical methods include sulfation, phosphorylation, acetylation, carboxymethylation etc. Therefore, spatial structures, and physical and chemical properties of polysaccharides change, which enhance the biological activities of polysaccharides, e.g., immune regulation, antivirus, anti-tumor, anti-oxidation, etc.
Keywords: Antioxidation effect, antitumor activity, antiviral action, biological activities, chemical modifications, immunoenhancement, polysaccharides.

Drug-Targeted Approach with Polymer Nanocomposites for Improved Therapeutics
Polymer nanocomposites have been recognized as an advanced and cutting-edge technique in drug targeting administration. These materials combine the unique features of nanoparticles with the adaptability of polymers to produce highly personalized drug administration devices. Integrating nanoparticles containing pharmaceuticals into a polymer matrix enables researchers to regulate the rates at ...read more
RNA Molecules in the Treatment of Human Diseases
Messenger and non-coding RNAs, including long and small transcripts, are mediators of gene expression. Gene expression at the RNA level shows significant aberrations in human diseases, including cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Human transcripts serve either as biomarkers of diagnosis, prognosis, prediction of treatment response, and/or therapy ...read more
Therapeutic Chemical and RNA Design with Artificial Intelligence
Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) has emerged as a fundamental component of modern drug discovery. Molecular docking facilitates virtual screening on a large scale through structural simulations. However, traditional CADD approaches face significant limitations, as they can only screen known compounds from existing libraries. PubChem, as the most widely used chemical ...read more
