Biological applications of copper-containing materials

Abstract: Copper is an indispensable trace metal element in the human body, which is mainly absorbed in the stomach and small intestine and excreted into the bile. Copper is an important component and catalytic agent of many enzymes and proteins in the body, so it can influence human health through multiple mechanisms. Based on the biological functions and benefits of copper, an increasing number of researchers in the field of biomaterials have focused on developing novel copper-containing biomaterials, which exhibit un… Show more

“…Copper absorption in mammals occurs predominantly in the small intestine, after digestion in the stomach and duodenum (Gaetke et al 2014 ; Nevitt et al 2012 ) and copper metabolism in human body is depicted in Fig. 1 b (Wang et al 2021 ). Excess copper content as well as its deficiency causes problems in animals (Iakovidis et al 2011 ).…”

“…Most Cu in the body is distributed in the bones and muscles, and that ingested from food is mainly excreted through the bile. Maintaining Cu homeostasis is important because both its deficiency and excess can cause many diseases (Wang et al, 2021). The minimum intake recommended by the US Institute of Medicine to prevent Cu deficiency in adults is 0.9 mg/day, with a tolerable upper limit of 10 mg/d (Trumbo et al, 2001).…”

“…Furthermore, PI has higher affinity to bind DNA than SYTO 9. When bacterial cytoplasmic membrane is damaged and both stains are exposed to the same DNA, PI will replace SYTO 9 resulting in red fluorescent signal and a reduction in the SYTO 9 fluorescence [ 37 , 39 , 40 ]. As Fig.…”
