    Abstract: An avatar carrier generating system for metaverse and method thereof are disclosed. Before a living body enters a metaverse, a sensing element senses the living body to generate a physiological feature, and after a real-name identity message is received, the real-name identity message and the physiological feature are converted into metadata compliant with a non-fungible token standard; the non-fungible token, which is owned by the living body, is generated on the blockchain based on the metadata. When the living body enters the metaverse, an avatar carrier for entering the metaverse is generated based on the metadata of the non-fungible token, and when the avatar carrier receives an identification request, the avatar carrier is permitted to provide at least one of the physiological feature and the real-name identity message, so as to achieve the effect of improving identifiability and authentication of the avatar carrier of the metaverse.

  • Publication number: 20250090685
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method for preparing a nanoscale cationic hyperbranched starch-based gene carrier, which mainly includes the following steps: heating and gelatinizing a dextrin solution, then obtaining a highly branched cluster dextrin molecule having abundant short chains through hydrolysis and transglycosylation of starch branching enzymes, and then performing an etherification reaction to obtain cationic polymers with different degrees of substitution. The polymer is controllable in degradation, the highly branched structure thereof can reduce the requirement of the gene carrier on the high degree of substitution of cationic starch to a certain extent, and the cytotoxicity is obviously reduced. In addition, the polymer carrier can form a stable nanocomplex with a gene fragment, and has wide application in gene therapy as an efficient gene carrier.
