[PMID: 38974014 PMCID: PMC11225617 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2024.05.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024] Open
Abstract
The adoption of innovative advanced materials holds vast potential, contingent upon addressing safety and sustainability concerns. The European Commission advocates the integration of Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) principles early in the innovation process to streamline market introduction and mitigate costs. Within this framework, encompassing ecological, social, and economic factors is paramount. The NanoSafety Cluster (NSC) delineates key safety and sustainability areas, pinpointing unresolved issues and research gaps to steer the development of safe(r) materials. Leveraging FAIR data management and integration, alongside the alignment of regulatory aspects, fosters informed decision-making and innovation. Integrating circularity and sustainability mandates clear guidance, ensuring responsible innovation at every stage. Collaboration among stakeholders, anticipation of regulatory demands, and a commitment to sustainability are pivotal for translating SSbD into tangible advancements. Harmonizing standards and test guidelines, along with regulatory preparedness through an exchange platform, is imperative for governance and market readiness. By adhering to these principles, the effective and sustainable deployment of innovative materials can be realized, propelling positive transformation and societal acceptance.

CO-DELIVERY of glutamic acid-extended peptide antigen and imidazoquinoline TLR7/8 agonist via ionizable lipid nanoparticles induces protective anti-tumor immunity. Biomaterials 2024; 311:122693. [PMID: 38996672 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
Cancer vaccines aim at generating cytotoxic CD8+ T cells that kill cancer cells and confer durable tumor regression. Hereto, CD8+ peptide epitopes should be presented by antigen presenting cells to CD8+ T cells in lymphoid tissue. Unfortunately, in unformulated soluble form, peptide antigens are poorly taken up by antigen presenting cells and do not efficiently reach lymph nodes. Hence, the lack of efficient delivery remains a major limitation for successful clinical translation of cancer vaccination using peptide antigens. Here we propose a generic peptide nanoformulation strategy by extending the amino acid sequence of the peptide antigen epitope with 10 glutamic acid residues. The resulting overall anionic charge of the peptide allows encapsulation into lipid nanoparticles (peptide-LNP) by electrostatic interaction with an ionizable cationic lipid. We demonstrate that intravenous injection of peptide-LNP efficiently delivers the peptide to immune cells in the spleen. Peptide-LNP that co-encapsulate an imidazoquinoline TLR7/8 agonist (IMDQ) induce robust innate immune activation in a broad range of immune cell subsets in the spleen. Peptide-LNP containing the minimal CD8+ T cell epitope of the HPV type 16 E7 oncoprotein and IMDQ induces high levels of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells in the blood, and can confer protective immunity against E7-expressing tumors in both prophylactic and therapeutic settings.

Comparative impact of surface and bulk fluoride anion doping on the electrochemical performance of co-free Li-rich Mn-based layered cathodes. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 675:251-262. [PMID: 38970911 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024]
Abstract
Li-rich Mn-based (LMR) layered oxides are considered promising cathode materials for high energy-density Li-ion batteries. Nevertheless, challenges such as irreversible oxygen loss at the surface during the initial charge, alteration of the bulk structure, and poor rate performance impede their path to commercialisation. Most modification methods focus on specific layers, making the overall impact of modifications at various depths on the properties of materials unclear. This research presents an approach by using doping to adjust both surface and bulk properties; the materials with surface and bulk fluoride anion doping are synthesised to explore the connection between doping depth, structural and electrochemical stability. The surface-doped material significantly improves the initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) from 77.85% to 85.12% and limits phase transitions, yet it does not enhance rate performance. Conversely, doping in bulk stands out by improving both rate performance and cyclic stability: it increases the specific discharge capacity by around 60 mAh g-1 and enhances capacity retention from 57.69% to 82.26% after 300 cycles at 5C. These results highlight a notable dependence of material properties on depth, providing essential insights into the mechanisms of surface and bulk modifications.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 675:1032-1039. [PMID: 39008921 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.07.075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2024] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
Anticancer theranostic nanocarriers have the potential to enhance the efficacy of pharmaceutical evaluation of drugs. Semiconductor nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots (QDs), are particularly promising components of drug carrier systems due to their small sizes and robust photoluminescence properties. Herein, bright CdZnSeS quantum dots were synthesized in a single step via the hot injection method. The particles have a quasi-core/shell structure as evident from the high quantum yield (85 %), which decreased to 41 % after water solubilization. These water solubilized QDs were encapsulated into gallic acid / alginate (GA-Alg) matrices to fabricate imaging QDs@mod-PAA/GA-Alg particles with enhanced stability in aqueous media. Cell viability assessments demonstrated that these nanocarriers exhibited viability ranging from 63 % to 83 % across all tested cell lines. Furthermore, the QDs@mod-PAA/GA-Alg particles were loaded with betulinic acid (BA) and ceranib-2 (C2) for in vitro drug release studies against HL-60 leukemia and PC-3 prostate cancer cells. The BA loaded QDs@mod-PAA/GA-Alg had a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 8.76 μg/mL against HL-60 leukemia cells, which is 3-fold lower than that of free BA (IC50 = 26.55 μg/mL). Similar enhancements were observed with nanocarriers loaded with C2 and simultaneously with both BA and C2. Additionally, BA:C2 loaded QDs@mod-PAA/GA-Alg nanocarriers displayed a similar enhancement (IC50 = 3.37 μg/mL compared against IC50 = 11.68 μg/mL for free BA:C2). The C2 loaded QDs@mod-PAA/GA-Alg nanocarriers had an IC50 = 2.24 μg/mL against HL-60 cells. C2 and BA loaded QDs@mod-PAA/GA-Alg NCr had IC50 values of 7.37 μg/mL and 24.55 μg/mL against PC-3 cells, respectively.

A dual-signal mode electrochemical aptasensor based on tetrahedral DNA nanostructures for sensitive detection of citrinin in food using PtPdCo mesoporous nanozymes. Food Chem 2024; 460:140739.

Abstract
Citrinin (CIT) is a mycotoxin with nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, presenting a significant threat to human health that is often overlooked. Therefore, a dual-signal mode (DPV and SWV) aptasensor for citrinin (CIT) detection was constructed based on tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDN) in this study. Furthermore, PtPdCo mesoporous nanozymes exhibit catalase-like catalytic functions, generating significant electrochemical signals through a Fenton-like reaction. Meanwhile their excellent Methylene Blue (MB) loading capability ensures independent dual signal outputs. The RecJf exonuclease-assisted (RecJf Exo-assisted) process can expand the linear detection range, enabling further amplification of the signal. Under optimized conditions, the constructed aptaensor exhibited excellent detection performance with limits of detection (LODs) of 7.67 × 10-3 ng·mL-1 (DPV mode) and 1.57 × 10-3 ng·mL-1 (SWV mode). Due to its multiple signal amplification and highly accurate dual-signal mode detection capability, this aptasensor shows promising potential for the in situ detection.

Abstract
In recent years, nanozymes have been widely used in the field of biosensing and food safety testing due to their advantages of low cost, high stability, easy modification and adjustable catalytic activity. However, how to reduce the signal interference generated by reducing substances, macromolecules and colored substances in the food matrix in nanozymes-based colorimetric sensing is still a major challenge. In this paper, using Listeria monocytogenes as a model analyte, sodium sulfonyl methacrylate (SBMA) polymers were modified onto cotton swabs by photothermal polymerization and combined with Listeria monocytogenes-specific aptamer (Apt1) to prepare swabs that can specifically capture and isolate Listeria monocytogenes from complex matrices (SBMA/Apt1 cotton swab). In addition, in combination with the inhibitory effect of the aptamer (Apt2) on the oxidase activity of Mn3O4 NPs, a colorimetric biosensor based on nanozymes that can quantitatively, sensitively, and specifically identify Listeria monocytogenes in food products was constructed. The results showed that the colorimetric signal of the method was linear with the concentration of Listeria monocytogenes in the range of 2.83-2.83 × 105 CFU/mL, and the limit of detection was 2.64 CFU/mL, which can be used for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in complex environments and food samples.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical efficacy of cancer treatment protocols remains unsatisfactory; however, the emergence of ferroptosis-driven therapy strategies has renewed hope for tumor treatment, owing to their remarkable tumor suppression effects. Biologically based small-molecule inducers are used in conventional method to induce ferroptosis. Nevertheless, some molecular drugs have limited solubility, poor ability to target cells, and fast metabolism, which hinder their ability to induce ferroptosis over a prolonged period. Fortunately, further investigations of ferroptosis and the development of nanotechnology have demonstrated that nanoparticles (NPs) are more efficient in inducing ferroptosis than drugs alone, which opens up new perspectives for cancer therapy. OBJECTIVE In order to organize a profile of recent advance in NPs for inducing ferroptosis in cancer therapy, and NPs were comprehensively classified in a new light.Materials and methods: We comprehensively searched the databases such as PubMed and Embase. The time limit for searching was from the establishment of the database to 2023.11. All literatures were related to "ferroptosis", "nanoparticles", "nanodelivery systems", "tumors", "cancer". RESULTS We summarized and classified the available NPs from a new perspective. The NPs were classified into six categories based on their properties: (1) iron oxide NPs (2) iron - based conversion NPs (3) core-shell structure (4) organic framework (5) silica NPs (6) lipoprotein NPs. According to the therapeutic types of NPs, they can be divided into categories: (1) NPs induced ferroptosis-related immunotherapy (2) NPs loaded with drugs (3) targeted therapy of NPs (4) multidrug resistance therapy (5) gene therapy with NPs (6) energy conversion therapy. CONCLUSIONS The insights gained from this review can provide ideas for the development of original NPs and nanodelivery systems, pave the way for related nanomaterials application in clinical cancer therapy, and advance the application and development of nanotechnology in the medical field.

Abstract
This report demonstrates a case study within the ASINA project, aimed at instantiating a roadmap with quantitative metrics for Safe(r) and (more) Sustainable by Design (SSbD) options. We begin with a description of ASINA's methodology across the product lifecycle, outlining the quantitative elements within: Physical-Chemical Features (PCFs), Key Decision Factors (KDFs), and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Subsequently, we delve in a proposed decision support tool for implementing the SSbD objectives across various dimensions-functionality, cost, environment, and human health safety-within a broader European context. We then provide an overview of the technical processes involved, including design rationales, experimental procedures, and tools/models developed within ASINA in delivering nano-silver-based antimicrobial textile coatings. The result is pragmatic, actionable metrics intended to be estimated and assessed in future SSbD applications and to be adopted in a common SSbD roadmap aligned with the EU's Green Deal objectives. The methodological approach is transparently and thoroughly described to inform similar projects through the integration of KPIs into SSbD and foster data-driven decision-making. Specific results and project data are beyond this work's scope, which is to demonstrate the ASINA roadmap and thus foster SSbD-oriented innovation in nanotechnology.

Abstract
Abnormal amyloid β-protein (Aβ42) fibrillation is a key event in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and photodynamic therapy (PDT) possesses great potential in modulating Aβ42 self-assembly. However, the poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, low biocompatibility, and limited tissue penetration depth of existing photosensitizers limit the progress of photo-oxidation strategies. In this paper, novel indocyanine green-modified graphene quantum dot nano-assemblies (NBGQDs-ICGs) were synthesized based on a molecular assembly strategy of electrostatic interactions for PDT inhibition of Aβ42 self-assembly process and decomposition of preformed fibrils under near-infrared light. Combining the small-size structure of graphene quantum dots and the near-infrared light-responsive properties of ICGs, the NBGQDs-ICGs could achieve BBB penetration under 808 nm irradiation. More importantly, the neuroprotective mechanism of NBGQDs-ICG was studied for the first time by AFM, which effectively weakened the adhesion of Aβ42 aggregates to the cell surface by blocking the interaction between Aβ42 and the cell membrane, and restored the mechanical stability and adhesion of the neuron membrane. Meanwhile, NBGQDs-ICG promoted phagocytosis of Aβ42 by microglia. In addition, the good biocompatibility and stability ensured the biosafety of NBGQDs-ICG in future clinical applications. We anticipate that such multifunctional nanocomponents may provide promising avenues for the development of novel AD inhibitors.

Abstract
Computational modeling has earned significant interest as an alternative to animal testing of toxicity assessment. However, the process of selecting an appropriate algorithm and fine-tuning hyperparameters for the developing of optimized models takes considerable time, expertise, and an intensive search. The recent emergence of automated machine learning (autoML) approaches, available as user-friendly platforms, has proven beneficial for individuals with limited knowledge in ML-based predictive model development. These autoML platforms automate crucial steps in model development, including data preprocessing, algorithm selection, and hyperparameter tuning. In this study, we used seven previously published and publicly available datasets for oxides and metals to develop nanotoxicity prediction models. AutoML platforms, namely Vertex AI, Azure, and Dataiku, were employed and performance measures such as accuracy, F1 score, precision, and recall for these autoML-based models were then compared with those of conventional ML-based models. The results demonstrated clearly that the autoML platforms produced more reliable nanotoxicity prediction models, outperforming those built with conventional ML algorithms. While none of the three autoML platforms significantly outperformed the others, distinctions exist among them in terms of the available options for choosing technical features throughout the model development steps. This allows users to select an autoML platform that aligns with their knowledge of predictive model development and its technical features. Additionally, prediction models constructed from datasets with better data quality displayed, enhanced performance than those built from datasets with lower data quality, indicating that future studies with high-quality datasets can further improve the performance of those autoML-based prediction models.

Abstract
The formation of protein corona (PC) is important for promoting the in vivo delivery of nanoparticles (NPs). However, PC formed in the physiological environment of oral delivery is poorly understood. Here, we engineered seven types of trimethyl chitosan-cysteine (TC) NPs, with distinct molecular weights, quaternization degrees, and thiolation degrees, to deeply investigate the influence of various PC formed in the physiological environment of oral delivery on in vivo gene delivery of polymeric NPs, further constructing the relationship between the surface characteristics of NPs and the efficacy of oral gene delivery. Our findings reveal that TC7 NPs, with high molecular weight, moderate quaternization, and high sulfhydryl content, modulate PC formation in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby reducing particle size and promoting oral delivery of gene loaded TC7 NPs. Orally delivered TC7 NPs target macrophages by in situ adsorption of apolipoprotein (Apo) B48 in intestinal tissue, leading to the improved in vivo antihepatoma efficacy via the natural tumor homing ability of macrophages. Our results suggest that efficient oral delivery of genes can be achieved through an in situ customized ApoB48-enriched PC, offering a promising modality in treating macrophage-related diseases.

Abstract
Konjac glucomannan (KGM) molecular chains contain a small amount of acetyl groups and a large number of hydroxyl groups, thereby exhibiting exceptional water retention and gel-forming properties. To meet diverse requirements, KGM undergoes modification processes such as oxidation, acetylation, grafting, and cationization, which reduce its viscosity, enhance its mechanical strength, and improve its water solubility. Researchers have found that KGM and its derivatives can regulate the polarization of macrophages, inducing their transformation into classically activated M1-type macrophages or alternatively activated M2-type macrophages, and even facilitating the interconversion between M1 and M2 phenotypes. Concurrently, the modulation of macrophage polarization states holds significant importance for chronic wound healing, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), antitumor therapy, tissue engineering scaffolds, oral vaccines, pulmonary delivery, and probiotics. Therefore, KGM has the advantages of both immunomodulatory effects (biological activity) and gel-forming properties (physicochemical properties), giving it significant advantages in a variety of biomedical engineering applications.

Different polysaccharide-enhanced probiotic and polyphenol dual-functional factor co-encapsulated microcapsules demonstrate acute colitis alleviation efficacy and food fortification. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 345:122572. [PMID: 39227107 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024]
Abstract
Probiotics and polyphenols have multiple bioactivities, and developing co-encapsulated microcapsules (CM) is a novel strategy to enhance their nutritional diversity. However, the development of CMs is challenged by complicated processing, single types, and unclear in vivo effects and applications. In this study, the co-microencapsulations of polyphenol and probiotic were constructed using pectin, alginate (WGCA@LK), and Fu brick tea polysaccharides (WGCF@LK), respectively, with chitosan-whey isolate proteins by layer-by-layer coacervation reaction, and their protective effects, in vivo effectiveness, and application potential were evaluated. WGCA@LK improved the encapsulation rate of polyphenols (42.41 %), and remained high viability of probiotics after passing through gastric acidic environment (8.79 ± 0.04 log CFU/g) and storage for 4 weeks (4.59 ± 0.06 log CFU/g). WGCF@LK exhibited the highest total antioxidant activity (19.40 ± 0.25 μmol/mL) and its prebiotic activity removed the restriction on probiotic growth. WGCA@LK showed strong in vitro colonic adhesion, but WGCF@LK promoted in vivo retention of probiotics at 48 h. WGCF@LK showed excellent anti-inflammatory effects and alleviated symptoms of acute colitis in mice. These findings provide unique insights into the fortification of probiotic-polyphenol CMs by different polysaccharides and the development of novel health foods with rich functional hierarchies and superior therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Ectodermal organs, such as hair follicles, originate from simple epithelial and mesenchymal sheets through a complex developmental process driven by interactions between these cell types. This process involves dermal condensation, placode formation, bud morphogenesis, and organogenesis, and all of these processes require intricate interactions among various tissues. Recent research has emphasized the crucial role of reciprocal and dynamic interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), referred to as the "dynamic duo", in the development of ectodermal organs. These interactions provide spatially and temporally changing biophysical and biochemical cues within tissues. Using the hair follicle as an example, this review highlights two types of cell-ECM adhesion units-focal adhesion-type and hemidesmosome-type adhesion units-that facilitate communication between epithelial and mesenchymal cells. This review further explores how these adhesion units, along with other cell-ECM interactions, evolve during hair follicle development and regeneration, underscoring their importance in guiding both developmental and regenerative processes.

Abstract
Bioactive hydrogel materials have great potential for applications in bone tissue engineering. However, fabrication of functional hydrogels that mimic the natural bone extracellular matrix (ECM) remains a challenge, because they need to provide mechanical support and embody physiological cues for angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Inspired by the features of ECM, we constructed a dual-component composite hydrogel comprising interpenetrating polymer networks of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Within the composite hydrogel, the GelMA network serves as the backbone for mechanical and biological stability, whereas the DNA network realizes dynamic capabilities (e.g., stress relaxation), thereby promoting cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, functional aptamers (Apt19S and AptV) are readily attached to the DNA network to recruit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and achieve sustained release of loaded vascular endothelial growth factor towards angiogenesis. Our results showed that the composite hydrogel could facilitate the adhesion of BMSCs, promote osteogenic differentiation by activating focal adhesion kinase (FAK)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/β-Catenin signaling pathway, and eventually enhance vascularized bone regeneration. This study shows that the multifunctional composite hydrogel of GelMA and DNA can successfully simulate the biological functions of natural bone ECM and has great potential for repairing bone defects.

Abstract
Supramolecular medicine refers to the formulation of therapeutic and diagnostic agents through supramolecular techniques, amid treating, diagnosing, and preventing disease. Recently, there has been growing interest in developing metal nanoparticles (MNPs)-amyloid hybrid materials, which have the potential to revolutionize medical applications. Furthermore, the development of MNPs-amyloid hydrogel/scaffold supramolecules represents a promising new direction in amyloid nanotechnology, with potential applications in tissue engineering and biomedicine. This review first provides a brief introduction to the formation process of protein amyloid aggregates and their unique nanostructures. Subsequently, we focused on recent investigations into the use of MNPs-amyloid hybrid materials in tissue engineering and biomedicine. We anticipate that MNPs-amyloid supramolecular materials will pave the way for new functional materials in medical science, particularly in the field of tissue engineering.

In vivo implantation of microelectrodes opens the door to studying neural circuits and restoring damaged neural pathways through direct electrical stimulation and recording. Although some neuroprostheses have achieved clinical success, electrode material properties, inflammatory response, and glial scar formation at the electrode-tissue interfaces affect performance and sustainability. Those challenges can be addressed by improving some of the materials' mechanical, physical, chemical, and electrical properties. This paper reviews materials and designs of current microelectrodes and discusses perspectives to advance neuroprosthetics performance.

Abstract
Chiral Plasmonic nanomaterials have gradually illustrated intriguing circularly polarized light (CPL)-dependent properties in photocatalysis due to their unique chiral optical activity. However, the connection between chiral characteristics and catalytic performance of these materials in cooperative systems is rarely reported and remains a challenge task. In this work, branched AgAuPt nanoparticles induced by L/d-cysteine (Cys) with strong and perfectly symmetric circular dichroism (CD) signals are synthesized. Chiral branched AgAuPt nanoparticles firstly exhibit superior typical electrocatalytic performance. In the photoelectrocatalytic system, chiral branched AgAuPt nanoparticles demonstrate selective catalytic water splitting performance. Specifically, chiral branched AgAuPt with related CPL irradiation exhibits enhanced acidic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance. Under the continuous irradiation of related CPL, the chiral catalyst generates more heat, which further increases the catalytic activity. This contribution of heat is supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculation results. The changes in chiroptical activity during this process are recorded by variable temperature CD spectra. This work provides a novel paradigm for designing chiral catalysis systems and emphasizes the profound promise of chiral plasmonic nanomaterials as chiral catalysts.

Abstract
Nanotechnology-based cancer treatment has received considerable attention, and these treatments generally use drug-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) to target and destroy cancer cells. Nanotechnology combined with photodynamic therapy (PDT) has demonstrated positive outcomes in cancer therapy. Combining nanotechnology and PDT is effective in targeting metastatic cancer cells. Nanotechnology can also increase the effectiveness of PDT by targeting cells at a molecular level. Dendrimer-based nanoconjugates (DBNs) are highly stable and biocompatible, making them suitable for drug delivery applications. Moreover, the hyperbranched structures in DBNs have the capacity to load hydrophobic compounds, such as photosensitizers (PSs) and chemotherapy drugs, and deliver them efficiently to tumour cells. This review primarily focuses on DBNs and their potential applications in cancer treatment. We discuss the chemical design, mechanism of action, and targeting efficiency of DBNs in tumour metastasis, intracellular trafficking in cancer treatment, and DBNs' biocompatibility, biodegradability and clearance properties. Overall, this study will provide the most recent insights into the application of DBNs and PDT in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Medicine intervention is the major clinical treatment used to relieve the symptoms and delay the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but is limited by its poor targeted delivery and short therapeutic duration. Herein, we developed an injectable and bioadhesive gelatin-based (Gel) hydrogel as a local depot of leonurine (Leon)-loaded and folate-functionalized polydopamine (FA-PDA@Leon) nanoparticles for anti-inflammation and chondroprotection in RA. The nanoparticles could protect Leon and facilitate its entry into the M1 phenotype macrophage for intracellular delivery of Leon, while the hydrogel tightly adhered to the tissues in the joint cavity and prolonged the retention of FA-PDA@Leon nanoparticles, thus achieving higher availability and therapeutic efficiency of Leon. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the Gel/FA-PDA@Leon hydrogel could strongly suppress the inflammatory response by down-regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in macrophages and protect the chondrocytes from ferritinophagy/ferroptosis. This contributed to maintaining the structural integrity of articular cartilage and accelerating the joint functional recovery. This work provides an effective and convenient strategy to achieve higher bioavailability and long-lasting therapeutic duration of medicine intervention in arthritis diseases.

Abstract
The healing of chronic diabetic wounds remains a formidable challenge in modern times. In this study, a novel traditional Chinese medicine microneedle patch was designed based on the physiological characteristics of wounds, with properties including hemostasis, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and induction of angiogenesis. Initially, white peony polysaccharide (BSP) with hemostatic properties and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) with antimicrobial capabilities were used as materials for microneedle fabrication. To endow it with antimicrobial, procoagulant, and adhesive properties. Among them, loaded with ROS-sensitive nanoparticles of Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) based on effective components baicalein (Bai) and berberine (Ber) from Scutellaria baicalensis (SB) and Coptis chinensis (CC) drugs (APB@Ber). Together, they are constructed into multifunctional traditional Chinese medicine composite microneedles (C/B@APB@Ber). Bai and Ber synergistically exert anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Microneedle patches loaded with BSP and APS exhibited significant effects on cell proliferation and angiogenesis induction. The combination of composite polysaccharides enabled the microneedles to adhere stably to wounds and provide sufficient strength to penetrate the biofilm and induce dispersion. The combination of composite polysaccharides enabled the microneedles to adhere stably to wounds and provide sufficient strength to penetrate the biofilm and induce dispersion. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine multifunctional microneedle patches offer potential medical value in promoting the healing of diabetic wounds.

Food Chem 2024; 460:140642. [PMID: 39111043 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024]
Abstract
A double-layer film was developed with tannic acid (TA) co-pigmented purple potato anthocyanin extract (PAE)-agar as the inner layer, and K-carrageenan-oregano essential oil Pickering emulsion (OPE)/silver nanoparticles (TA-AgNPs) as the outer layer. Molecular docking and FT-IR results elucidated that intermolecular hydrogen bond was the main interaction between components in the agar-carrageenan matrix, with TA and PAE contributing to intensified anthocyanin color through π-π stacking. The incorporation of OPE/TA-AgNPs enhanced the film's hydrophobicity (WCA > 100°) and UV-vis barrier (close to 0% at 200-320 nm, effectively impeding UVA, UVB, and UVC) properties and exhibited outstanding antioxidant (DPPH scavenging rate > 88%) and antimicrobial activities. This film showed a significant color change in the pH range of 2-12 (from pink to yellow) and a considerable sensitivity to volatile amines within 2 min. The films effectively alleviated beef spoilage (extending the shelf life of beef for 1d) and reflected the freshness of beef during storage. Additionally, the digital color information of the film was obtained by a smartphone combined with RGB values analysis to quantify the freshness of beef rapidly. Therefore, this study expands the application of food packaging films with freshness preservation and monitoring in the field of animal-derived food.

Abstract
Pre-treatment of diamond surface in low-temperature plasma for oxygenation and in acids for carboxylation was hypothesized to promote the branching density of the hyperbranched glycidol polymer. This was expected to increase the homogeneity of the branching level and suppress interactions with proteins. As a result, composite nanodiamonds with reduced hydrodynamic diameters that are maintained in physiological environments were anticipated. Surfaces of 140-nm-sized nanodiamonds were functionalized with oxygen and carboxyl groups for grafting of hyperbranched dendritic polyglycerol via anionic ring-opening polymerization of glycidol. The modification was verified with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Dynamic light scattering investigated colloidal stability in pH-diverse (2-12) solutions, concentrated phosphate-buffered saline, and cell culture media. Thermogravimetric analysis of nanodiamonds-protein incubations examined non-specific binding. Fluorescence emission was tested across pH conditions. Molecular dynamics simulations modeled interparticle interactions in ionic solutions. The hyperbranched polyglycerol grafting increased colloidal stability of nanodiamonds across diverse pH, high ionic media like 10 × concentrated phosphate-buffered saline, and physiological media like serum and cell culture medium. The hyperbranched polyglycerol suppressed non-specific protein adsorption while maintaining intensive fluorescence of nanodiamonds regardless of pH. Molecular modelling indicated reduced interparticle interactions in ionic solutions correlating with the improved colloidal stability.

Abstract
Active components of natural products, which include paclitaxel, curcumin, gambogic acid, resveratrol, triptolide and celastrol, have promising anti-inflammatory, antitumor, anti-oxidant, and other pharmacological activities. However, their clinical application is limited due to low solubility, instability, low bioavailability, rapid metabolism, short half-life, and strong off-target toxicity. To overcome these drawbacks, cell membrane-based biomimetic nanosystems have emerged that avoid clearance by the immune system, enhance targeting, and prolong drug circulation, while also improving drug solubility and bioavailability, enhancing drug efficacy, and reducing side effects. This review summarizes recent advances in the preparation and coating of cell membrane-coated biomimetic nanosystems and in their applications to disease for targeted natural products delivery. Current challenges, limitations, and prospects in this field are also discussed, providing a research basis for the development of multifunctional biomimetic nanosystems for natural products.

Abstract
Branching is a key structural parameter of polymers, which can have profound impacts on physicochemical properties. It has been demonstrated that branching is a modulating factor for mRNA delivery and transfection using delivery vehicles built from cationic polymers, but the influence of polymer branching on mRNA delivery remains relatively underexplored compared to other polymer features such as monomer composition, hydrophobicity, pKa, or the type of terminal group. In this study, we examined the impact of branching on the physicochemical properties of poly(amine-co-esters) (PACE) and their efficiency in mRNA transfection in vivo and in vitro under various conditions. PACE polymers were synthesized with various degrees of branching ranging from 0 to 0.66, and their transfection efficiency was systemically evaluated. We observed that branching improves the stability of polyplexes but reduces the pH buffering capacity. Therefore, the degree of branching (DB) must be optimized in a delivery route specific manner due to differences in challenges faced by polyplexes in different physiological compartments. Through a systematic analysis of physicochemical properties and mRNA transfection in vivo and in vitro, this study highlights the influence of polymer branching on nucleic acid delivery.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SANZs) have emerged as new media for enhancing chemodynamic therapy (CDT) to achieve desirable enzyme-like effects and excellent nanoscale specificity. However, non-optimal adsorption of Fenton-like reaction intermediates prevents SANZs from exerting kinetic activity and hinders the CDT effect. Herein, we demonstrate that heteroatom-doped Co single-atom nanozymes (SACNZs) with intrinsic charge transfer exhibit peroxidase-like properties and significantly improve the ability of CDT to treat Staphylococcus aureus-infected wounds. Density functional theory calculations showed that the S-induced charge transfer effect regulated the electronic distribution of the central metal more efficiently than P, thereby lowering the energy levels for the generation of OH and increasing the catalytic effect. Polyvinylpyrrolidone-modified SACNZs showed effects consistent with this theory in both in vitro antibacterial and in vivo ward management assays. This study systematically investigated the relationship between heteroatom-doping and the catalytic activity of metal centres, opening a new perspective for the application of CDT.

Abstract
Tumors pose a major threat to human health, accounting for nearly one-sixth of global deaths annually. The primary treatments include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, each associated with significant side effects. This has driven the search for new therapies with fewer side effects and greater specificity. Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising field in this regard, particularly nanomolecular machines at the nanoscale. Nanomolecular machines are typically constructed from biological macromolecules like proteins, DNA, and RNA. These machines can be programmed to perform specialized tasks with precise instructions. Recent research highlights their potential in tumor diagnostics-identifying susceptibility genes, detecting viruses, and pinpointing tumor markers. Nanomolecular machines also offer advancements in tumor therapy. They can reduce traditional treatment side effects by delivering chemotherapy drugs and enhancing immunotherapy, and they support innovative treatments like sonodynamic and phototherapy. Additionally, they can starve tumors by blocking blood vessels, and eliminate tumors by disrupting cell membranes or lysosomes. This review categorizes and explains the latest achievements in molecular machine research, explores their models, and practical clinical uses in tumor diagnosis and treatment. It aims to broaden the research perspective and accelerate the clinical adoption of these technologies.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OvCa) is a leading cause of mortality among gynecological malignancies and usually manifests as intraperitoneal spheroids that generate metastases, ascites, and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. In this study, we explore the immunomodulatory properties of cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) as an adjuvant immunotherapeutic agent using an in vitro model of OvCa peritoneal spheroids. Previous findings highlighted the potent efficacy of intratumoral CPMV against OvCa in mouse tumor models. Leveraging the precision control over material deposition and cell patterning afforded by digital-light-processing (DLP) based bioprinting, we constructed OvCa-macrophage spheroids to mimic peritoneal spheroids using gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), a collagen-derived photopolymerizable biomaterial to mimic the extracellular matrix. Following CPMV treatment, bioprinted spheroids exhibited inhibited OvCa progression mediated by macrophage activation. Our analysis indicates that CPMV regulates and activates macrophage to both induce OvCa cell killing and restore normal cell-cell junctions. This study deepened our understanding of the mechanism of CPMV intratumoral immunotherapy in the setting of OvCa. This study also highlights the potential of studying immunotherapies using high throughput tissue models via DLP bioprinting.

Abstract
Nanosecond pulsed laser induced photoporation has gained increasing attention from scholars as an effective method for delivering the membrane-impermeable extracellular materials into living cells. Compared with femtosecond laser, nanosecond laser has the advantage of high throughput and low costs. It also has a higher delivery efficiency than continuous wave laser. Here, we provide an extensive overview of current status of nanosecond pulsed laser induced photoporation, covering the photoporation mechanism as well as various factors that impact the delivery efficiency of photoporation. Additionally, we discuss various techniques for achieving photoporation, such as direct photoporation, nanoparticles-mediated photoporation and plasmonic substrates mediated photoporation. Among these techniques, nanoparticles-mediated photoporation is the most promising approach for potential clinical application. Studies have already been reported to safely destruct the vitreous opacities in vivo by nanosecond laser induced vapor nanobubble. Finally, we discuss the potential of nanosecond laser induced phototoporation for future clinical applications, particularly in the areas of skin and ophthalmic pathologies. We hope this review can inspire scientists to further improve nanosecond laser induced photoporation and facilitate its eventual clinical application.

Abstract
Neurological disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases and nervous system tumours affect more than one billion people throughout the globe. The physiological sensitivity of the nervous tissue limits the application of invasive therapies and leads to poor treatment and prognosis. One promising solution that has generated attention is Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which can potentially revolutionise the treatment landscape for neurological disorders. PDT attracted substantial recognition for anticancer efficacy and drug conjugation for targeted drug delivery. This review thoroughly explained the basic principles of PDT, scientific interventions and advances in PDT, and their complicated mechanism in treating brain-related pathologies. Furthermore, the merits and demerits of PDT in the context of neurological disorders offer a well-rounded perspective on its feasibility and challenges. In conclusion, this review encapsulates the significant potential of PDT in transforming the treatment landscape for neurological disorders, emphasising its role as a non-invasive, targeted therapeutic approach with multifaceted applications.

Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2024; 25:3-8. [PMID: 38328349 PMCID: PMC10848030 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2024.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Liposomes, nanoscale spherical structures composed of amphiphilic lipids, hold great promise for various pharmaceutical applications, especially as nanocarriers in targeted drug delivery, due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low immunogenicity. Understanding the factors influencing their physicochemical properties is crucial for designing and optimizing liposomes. In this study, we have presented the kernel-weighted local polynomial regression (KwLPR) nano-quantitative structure-property relationships (nano-QSPR) model to predict the zeta potential (ZP) based on the structure of 12 liposome formulations, including 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE), 3ß-[N-(N',N'-dimethylaminoethane)-carbamoyl]cholesterol (DC-Chol), 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTAP), and L-α-phosphatidylcholine (EPC). The developed model is well-fitted (R 2 = 0.96, RMSE C = 5.76), flexible (Q CVloo 2 = 0.83, RMSE CVloo = 10.77), and reliable (Q Ext 2 = 0.89 RMSE Ext = 5.17). Furthermore, we have established the formula for computing molecular nanodescriptors for liposomes, based on constituent lipids' molar fractions. Through the correlation matrix and principal component analysis (PCA), we have identified two key structural features affecting liposomes' zeta potential: hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) and enthalpy of formation. Lower HLB values, indicating a more lipophilic nature, are associated with a higher zeta potential, and thus stability. Higher enthalpy of formation reflects reduced zeta potential and decreased stability of liposomes. We have demonstrated that the nano-QSPR approach allows for a better understanding of how the composition and molecular structure of liposomes affect their zeta potential, filling a gap in ZP nano-QSPR modeling methodologies for nanomaterials (NMs). The proposed proof-of-concept study is the first step in developing a comprehensive and computationally based system for predicting the physicochemical properties of liposomes as one of the most important drug nano-vehicles.

Abstract
There is strong interest to improve the therapeutic potential of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) while ensuring their safe development. The utility of GNPs in medicine requires a molecular-level understanding of how GNPs interact with biological systems. Despite considerable research efforts devoted to monitoring the internalisation of GNPs, there is still insufficient understanding of the factors responsible for the variability in GNP uptake in different cell types. Data-driven models are useful for identifying the sources of this variability. Here, we trained multiple machine learning models on 2077 data points for 193 individual nanoparticles from 59 independent studies to predict cellular uptake level of GNPs and compared different algorithms for their efficacies of prediction. The five ensemble learners (Xgboost, random forest, bootstrap aggregation, gradient boosting, light gradient boosting machine) made the best predictions of GNP uptake, accounting for 80-90% of the variance in the test data. The models identified particle size, zeta potential, GNP concentration and exposure duration as the most important drivers of cellular uptake. We expect this proof-of-concept study will foster the more effective use of accumulated cellular uptake data for GNPs and minimise any methodological bias in individual studies that may lead to under- or over-estimation of cellular internalisation rates.

Abstract
A novel self-powered and flexible enzymatic biofuel cell (EBFC)-based aptasensor was developed for the sensitive and selective detection of 17 β-estradiol (E2). A flexible polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-tannic acid‑carbon nanotube/reduced graphene oxide (PTCR) substrate was modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and thiolated aptamer 1 (Apt1) to yield Apt1@AuNPs/PTCR. A copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) with peroxidase mimicking activity was employed to anchor glucose oxidase (GOD) and Apt2, forming the Cu-MOF@GOD/Apt2 tag. When E2 was recognized by Apt1, the anchored E2 quantitatively recognized Cu-MOF@GOD/Apt2 to create a Cu-MOF@GOD/Apt2-E2-Apt1 sandwich structure for glucose oxidation to generate electrical power. Increased E2 concentrations enhanced Cu-MOF@GOD/Apt2 capture and amplified the electrical signal. The electrical power increased linearly as the E2 concentration increased from 1.0 pM to 1.0 nM. The sensor was successfully applied to various food samples and blood serum detection. This work promoted the application of novel self-powered biosensors for food safety analysis.

Abstract
Multimetal phosphides derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered significant interest owing to their distinct electronic configurations and abundant active sites. However, developing robust and efficient catalysts based on metal phosphides for overall water splitting (OWS) remains challenging. Herein, we present an approach for synthesizing a self-supporting hollow porous cubic FeNiP-CoP@NC catalyst on a nickel foam (NF) substrate. Through ion exchange, the reconstruction chemistry transforms the FeNi-MOF nanospheres into intricate hollow porous FeNi-MOF-Co nanocubes. After phosphorization, numerous N, P co-doped carbon-coated FeNiP-CoP nanoparticles were tightly embedded within a two-dimensional (2D) carbon matrix. The NF/FeNiP-CoP@NC heterostructure retained a porous configuration, numerous heterogeneous interfaces, distinct defects, and a rich composition of active sites. Moreover, incorporating Co and the resulting structural evolution facilitated the electron transfer in FeNiP-CoP@NC, enhancing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) processes. Consequently, the NF/FeNiP-CoP@NC catalyst demonstrated very low overpotentials of 78 mV for OER and 254 mV for HER in an alkaline medium. It also exhibited excellent long-term stability at various potentials (@10 mA cm-2, @20 mA cm-2, and @50 mA cm-2). As an overall water splitting cell, it required only 1.478 V to drive a current density of 50 mA cm-2 and demonstrated long-term stability. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed a synergistic effect between multimetal phosphides, enhancing the intrinsic OER and HER activities of FeNiP-CoP@NC. This work not only elucidates the role of heteroatom induction in structural reconstruction but also highlights the importance of electronic structure modulation.

Abstract
Background: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a clinically-heterogeneous genodermatosis with severe manifestations in the skin and other organs. The significant burden this condition places on patients justifies the development of gene therapeutic strategies targeting the genetic cause of the disease. Methods: Emerging RNA and DNA editing tools have shown remarkable advances in efficiency and safety. Applicable both in ex vivo- and in vivo settings, these gene therapeutics based on gene replacement or editing are either at the pre-clinical or clinical stage. Results: The recent landmark FDA approvals for gene editing based on CRISPR/Cas9, along with the first FDA-approved redosable in vivo gene replacement therapy for EB, will invigorate ongoing research efforts, increasing the likelihood of achieving local cure via CRISPR-based technologies in the near future. Conclusions: This review discusses the status quo of current gene therapeutics that act at the level of RNA or DNA, all with the common aim of improving the quality of life for EB patients.

Targeted reprogramming of tumor-associated macrophages for overcoming glioblastoma resistance to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Biomaterials 2024; 311:122708. [PMID: 39047538 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
The resistance of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) to standard chemotherapy is primarily attributed to the existence of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the GBM microenvironment, particularly the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Targeted modulation of M2-TAMs is emerging as a promising strategy to enhance chemotherapeutic efficacy. However, combination TAM-targeted therapy with chemotherapy faces substantial challenges, notably in terms of delivery efficiency and targeting specificity. In this study, we designed a pH-responsive hierarchical brain-targeting micelleplex loaded with temozolomide (TMZ) and resiquimod (R848) for combination chemo-immunotherapy against GBM. This delivery system, termed PCPA&PPM@TR, features a primary Angiopep-2 decoration on the outer layer via a pH-cleavable linker and a secondary mannose analogue (MAN) on the middle layer. This pH-responsive hierarchical targeting strategy enables effective BBB permeability while simultaneous GBM- and TAMs-targeting delivery. GBM-targeted delivery of TMZ induces alkylation and triggers an anti-GBM immune response. Concurrently, TAM-targeted delivery of R848 reprograms their phenotype from M2 to pro-inflammatory M1, thereby diminishing GBM resistance to TMZ and amplifying the immune response. In vivo studies demonstrated that targeted modulation of TAMs using PCPA&PPM@TR significantly enhanced anti-GBM efficacy. In summary, this study proposes a promising brain-targeting delivery system for the targeted modulation of TAMs to combat GBM.

Abstract
An obstacle in current tumor immunotherapies lies in the challenge of achieving sustained and tumor-targeting T cell immunity, impeded by the limited antigen processing and cross-presentation of tumor antigens. Here, we propose a hydrogel-based multicellular immune factory within the body that autonomously converts tumor cells into an antitumor vaccine. Within the body, the scaffold, formed by a calcium-containing chitosan hydrogel complex (ChitoCa) entraps tumor cells and attracts immune cells to establish a durable and multicellular microenvironment. Within this context, tumor cells are completely eliminated by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and processed for cross-antigen presentation. The regulatory mechanism relies on the Mincle receptor, a cell-phagocytosis-inducing C-type lectin receptor specifically activated on ChitoCa-recruited APCs, which serves as a recognition synapse, facilitating a tenfold increase in tumor cell engulfment and subsequent elimination. The ChitoCa-induced tumor cell processing further promotes the cross-presentation of tumor antigens to prime protective CD8+ T cell responses. Therefore, the ChitoCa treatment establishes an immune niche within the tumor microenvironment, resulting in effective tumor regression either used alone or in combination with other immunotherapies. This hydrogel-induced immune factory establishes a functional organ-like multicellular colony for tumor-specific immunotherapy, paving the way for innovative strategies in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Developing sensor arrays capturing comprehensive fluorescence (FL) spectra from a single probe is crucial for understanding sugar structures with very high similarity in biofluids. Therefore, the analysis of highly similar sugar' structures in biofluids based on the entire FL of a single nanozyme probe needs more concern, which makes the development of novel alternative approaches highly wanted for biomedical and other applications. Herein, a well-designed deep learning model with intrinsic information of 3D FL of CuO nanoparticles (NPs)' oxidase-like activity was developed to classify and predict the concentration of a group of sugars with very similar chemical structures in different media. The findings presented that the overall accuracy of the developed model in classifying the nine selected sugars was (99-100 %), which prompted us to transfer the developed model to predict the concentration of the selected sugars at a concentration range of (1-100 μM). The transferred model also gave excellent results (R2 = 97-100 %). Therefore, the model was extended to other more complex applications, namely the identification of mixtures of sugars in serum and the detection of polysaccharides in different media such as serum and lake water. Notably, LOD for fructose was determined at 4.23 nM, marking a 120-fold decrease compared to previous studies. Our developed model was also compared with other deep learning-based models, and the results have demonstrated remarkable progress. Moreover, the identification of other possible coexisting interference substances in lake water samples was considered. This work marks a significant advancement, opening avenues for the widespread application of sensor arrays integrating nanozymes and deep learning techniques in biomedical and other diverse fields.

Abstract
Adoptive immunotherapy, notably involving chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells, has obtained Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval as a treatment for various hematological malignancies, demonstrating promising preclinical efficacy against cancers. However, the intricate and resource-intensive autologous cell processing, encompassing collection, expansion, engineering, isolation, and administration, hamper the efficacy of this therapeutic modality. Furthermore, conventional CAR T therapy is presently confined to addressing solid tumors due to impediments posed by physical barriers, the potential for cytokine release syndrome, and cellular exhaustion induced by the immunosuppressive and heterogeneous tumor microenvironment. Consequently, a strategic integration of adoptive immunotherapy with synergistic multimodal treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and vaccine therapy etc., emerges as a pivotal approach to surmount these inherent challenges. This collaborative strategy holds the key to addressing the limitations delineated above, thereby facilitating the realization of more precise personalized therapies characterized by heightened therapeutic efficacy. Such synergistic strategy not only serves to mitigate the constraints associated with adoptive immunotherapy but also fosters enhanced clinical applicability, thereby advancing the frontiers of therapeutic precision and effectiveness.

Abstract
Viral diseases are among the main threats to public health. Understanding the factors affecting viral invasion is important for antiviral research. Until now, it was known that most viruses have very low plaque-forming unit (PFU)-to-particle ratios. However, further investigation is required to determine the underlying factors. Here, using quantitative single-particle analysis methods, the invasion of Semliki Forest virus (SFV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), and influenza A virus (IAV) containing attachment to the cell surface, entry into the cell, transport towards the cell interior, and fusion with endosomes to release nucleocapsids were quantitatively analysed in parallel. It was found that for SFV with an PFU-to-particle ratio of approximately 1:2, an entry efficiency of approximately 31% limited infection. For JEV, whose PFU-to-particle ratio was approximately 1:310, an attachment efficiency of approximately 27% and an entry efficiency of 10% were the main factors limiting its infection. Meanwhile, for IAV with PFU-to-particle ratios of 1:8100, 5% attachment efficiency, 9% entry efficiency, and 53% fusion efficiency significantly limited its infection. These results suggest that viruses with different infectivities have different limited steps in the invasion process. Moreover, there are significant differences in attachment efficiencies among viruses, emphasizing the pivotal role of attachment in viral invasion. The influence of the virus purification method on virus invasion was also investigated. This study, for the first time, reports the efficiencies of different stages of virus invasion, leading to a better understanding of virus invasion and providing a protocol to quantitatively analyse the virus invasion efficiency.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon, composed of carbon atoms forming a tube-like structure. Their high surface area, chemical stability, and rich electronic polyaromatic structure facilitate their drug-carrying capacity. Therefore, CNTs have been intensively explored for several biomedical applications, including as a potential treatment option for cancer. By incorporating smart fabrication strategies, CNTs can be designed to specifically target cancer cells. This targeted drug delivery approach not only maximizes the therapeutic utility of CNTs but also minimizes any potential side effects of free drug molecules. CNTs can also be utilised for photothermal therapy (PTT) which uses photosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill cancer cells, and in immunotherapeutic applications. Regarding the latter, for example, CNT-based formulations can preferentially target intra-tumoural regulatory T-cells. CNTs also act as efficient antigen presenters. With their capabilities for photoacoustic, fluorescent and Raman imaging, CNTs are excellent diagnostic tools as well. Further, metallic nanoparticles, such as gold or silver nanoparticles, are combined with CNTs to create nanobiosensors to measure biological reactions. This review focuses on current knowledge about the theranostic potential of CNT, challenges associated with their large-scale production, their possible side effects and important parameters to consider when exploring their clinical usage.

Abstract
The incorporation of molecular adjuvants has revolutionized vaccine by boosting overall immune efficacy. While traditional efforts have been concentrated on the quality and quantity of vaccine components, the impact of adjuvant and antigen delivery kinetics on immunity remains to be fully understood. Here, we employed poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticle (PLGA NP) -stabilized Pickering emulsion (PPE) to refine the delivery kinetics of molecular adjuvant CpG and antigen, aiming to optimize immune responses. The hierarchical structure of PPE enabled spatially differential loading of CpG and antigen. The component inserted on the oil-water interphase exhibited a rapid release profile, while the one encapsulated in the PLGA NPs demonstrated a sustained release. This led to distinct intracellular spatial-temporal release kinetics. Compared to the PPE with sustained CpG release and burst release of antigen, we found that the PPE with rapid CpG release and sustained antigen release triggered an early and robust activation of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) in direct way. This fostered a more immunogenic microenvironment, significantly outperforming the inverted delivery profile in dendritic cells (DCs) activation, resulting in higher CD40 expression, elevated proinflammatory cytokine levels, sustained antigen cross-presentation, an enhanced Th1 response, and increased CD8+ T cells. Moreover, prior exposure of CpG led to suppressed tumor growth and enhanced efficacy in Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) vaccine. Our findings underscore the importance of tuning adjuvant and antigen delivery kinetics in vaccine design, proposing a novel path for enhancing vaccination outcomes.

Abstract
Obesity is a major public burden on the working population and induces chronic diseases. Its treatment often requires long-term medication, which makes patient compliance difficult. In this study, we reported the value of HORN-MN, which comprised a fast-soluble hyaluronic acid microneedle matrix and a weak acid-degradable oleanolic acid dimer of rosiglitazone nanoparticles. The results showed that the microneedles easily punctured the stratum corneum and dissolved in the dermis of the abdominal wall within 5 min, followed by the release of rosiglitazone nanoparticles. Thereafter, the nanoparticles were endocytosed by macrophages and white adipocytes, then degraded to oleanolic acid in the lysosomes, thereby, releasing rosiglitazone. Oleanolic acid significantly improved the inflammatory status of obese adipose tissue and promoted white adipocyte browning, and rosiglitazone significantly potentiated WAC browning. Accordingly, the patch demonstrated a remarkable obesity-reducing efficacy in mice. In conclusion, this study developed a quick paster type of soluble rosiglitazone nanoparticle microneedle for the treatment of obesity. This patch can be suitable for working people, with an evident obesity-reducing efficacy but no effect on skin integrity despite multiple administrations.

A strategy of "adding fuel to the flames" enables a self-accelerating cycle of ferroptosis-cuproptosis for potent antitumor therapy. Biomaterials 2024; 311:122701. [PMID: 38981152 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024]
Abstract
Cuproptosis in antitumor therapy faces challenges from copper homeostasis efflux mechanisms and high glutathione (GSH) levels in tumor cells, hindering copper accumulation and treatment efficacy. Herein, we propose a strategy of "adding fuel to the flames" for potent antitumor therapy through a self-accelerating cycle of ferroptosis-cuproptosis. Disulfiram (DSF) loaded hollow mesoporous copper-iron sulfide (HMCIS) nanoparticle with conjugation of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and folic acid (FA) (i.e., DSF@HMCIS-PEG-FA) was developed to swiftly release DSF, H2S, Cu2+, and Fe2+ in the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME). The hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels and acidity within tumor cells enhanced by the released H2S induce acceleration of Fenton (Fe2+) and Fenton-like (Cu2+) reactions, enabling the powerful tumor ferroptosis efficacy. The released DSF acts as a role of "fuel", intensifying catalytic effect ("flame") in tumor cells through the sustainable Fenton chemistry (i.e., "add fuel to the flames"). Robust ferroptosis in tumor cells is characterized by serious mitochondrial damage and GSH depletion, leading to excess intracellular copper that triggers cuproptosis. Cuproptosis disrupts mitochondria, compromises iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins, and elevates intracellular oxidative stress by releasing free Fe3+. These interconnected processes form a self-accelerating cycle of ferroptosis-cuproptosis with potent antitumor capabilities, as validated in both cancer cells and tumor-bearing mice.

[PMID: 39191107 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024]
Abstract
The separation and detection of microparticles within complex samples pose substantial challenges due to the intricate variations in size and concentration. A strategy employing gravity-assisted gradient size exclusion principle based on controllable gap sizes on the surface of silicon nanowire arrays (SiNWAs) has been established to achieve the separation of microparticles with diverse sizes. The formation of gradient gap sizes was accomplished by meticulously investigating the impact of oxidation-reduction reactions through metal-assisted chemical etching. Particles of different sizes were initially aggregated at the accumulation base, followed by a sequential size exclusion process within the finely regulated 0.9-12.5 μm gradient-gap-sized separation region facilitated with gravity-assisted, leading to a comprehensive separation of microparticles based on their respective size differences, progressing from small to large. The effective separation of four model-sized microparticles demonstrated a separation degree of ≥2.7, purity of ≥96.1 %, RSDs of ≤4.6 %, and a separation capacity of up to 107 particles. The separation efficacy of this gradient-sized chip was verified by evaluating the more complex atmospheric particulates with varying sizes, which exhibited separation degree ranging between 2 and 10. This method offers a precise separation range, easily adjustable separation sizes, and simple operation, rendering it a versatile tool for separating complex samples.

Abstract
Lipid nanocarriers have attracted a great deal of interest in the delivery of therapeutic molecules. Despite their many advantages, compliance with quality standards and reproducibility requirements still constrain their industrial production. The relatively high failure rate in lipid nanocarrier research and development can be attributed to immature bottom-up manufacturing practices, leading to suboptimal control of quality attributes. Recently, the pharmaceutical industry has moved toward quality-driven manufacturing, emphasizing the integration of product and process development through the principles of quality by design. Quality by design in the pharmaceutical industry involves a thorough understanding of the quality profile of the target product and involves an assessment of potential risks during the design and development phases of pharmaceutical dosage forms. By identifying essential quality characteristics, such as the active ingredients, excipients and manufacturing processes used during research and development, it becomes possible to effectively control these aspects throughout the life cycle of the drug. Successful commercialization of lipid nanocarriers can be achieved if large-scale challenges are addressed using the QbD approach. QbD has become an essential tool because of its advantages in improving processes and product quality. The application of the QbD approach to the development of lipid nanocarriers can provide comprehensive and remarkable knowledge enabling the manufacture of high-quality products with a high degree of regulatory flexibility. This article reviews the basic considerations of QbD and its application in the laboratory and large-scale development of lipid nanocarriers. Furthermore, it provides forward-looking guidance for the industrial production of lipid nanocarriers using the QbD approach.

Triple-transformable dynamic surroundings for programmed transportation of bio-vulnerable mRNA payloads towards systemic treatment of intractable solid tumors. Biomaterials 2024; 311:122677. [PMID: 38917704 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122677] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
The surface physiochemical properties of nanomedicine play a crucial role in modulating biointerfacial reactions in sequential biological compartments, accordingly accomplishing the desired programmed delivery scenario to intracellular targets. PEGylation, which involves modifying the surface with a layer of poly(ethylene glycol), has been validated as an effective strategy for minimizing adverse biointerfacial interactions. However, it has also been observed to impede cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking activities. To address this dilemma, we propose a dynamic surface chemistry approach that actively prevents non-specific reactions in systemic circulation, while readily facilitating cellular uptake by converting into a highly cytomembrane-adhesive state. Moreover, the surface becomes more adhesive to endolysosomal membranes, enabling translocation into the cytosol. In this study, PEGylated mRNA delivery nanoparticulates were tethered with charge-reversible polymers to create dynamic surroundings through click chemistry. Importantly, the dynamic surroundings exhibited negative charges under physiological conditions (pH 7.4). This property prevented degradation by anionic nucleases and structural disassembly induced by endogenous charged biological species. Consequently, the nanoparticles exhibited appreciable stealth function, effectively managing the first pass effect, leading to prolonged blood retention and improved bioavailabilities at targeted cells. Furthermore, the dynamic surroundings shifted towards relatively positive charges in the tumor microenvironment (pH 6.8). As a result, the nanoparticles were more likely to be taken up by tumors due to their electrostatic affinities towards polyanionic cytomembranes. Eventually, the internalized mRNA nanomedicine transformed responsive to the surrounding microenvironment into highly positive charges within acidic endolysosomes (pH 5.0), exerting explosive disruptive potencies on the endolysosomal structures, thus facilitating translocation of mRNA from the digestive endolysosomes into the targeted cytosol. Notably, the dynamic surroundings also reduced the immunogenicity of naked mRNA due to their stealthy properties and rapid endolysosomal translocation functions. In summary, our proposed unique triple-transformable dynamic surface chemistry provided an intriguing delivery scenario that overcomes sequential biological barriers, contributing to efficient expression of the encapsulated mRNA at targeted tumors.

[PMID: 39290338 PMCID: PMC11406000 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.09.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 08/16/2024] [Accepted: 09/01/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Recently, nanovaccine-based immunotherapy has been robustly investigated due to its potential in governing the immune response and generating long-term protective immunity. However, the presentation of a tumor peptide-major histocompatibility complex to T lymphocytes is still a challenge that needs to be addressed for eliciting potent antitumor immunity. Type 1 conventional dendritic cell (cDC1) subset is of particular interest due to its pivotal contribution in the cross-presentation of exogenous antigens to CD8+ T cells. Here, the DC-derived nanovaccine (denoted as Si9GM) selectively targets cDC1s with marginal loss of premature antigen release for effective stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-mediated antigen cross-presentation. Bone marrow dendritic cell (BMDC)-derived membranes, conjugated to cDC1-specific antibody (αCLEC9A) and binding to tumor peptide (OVA257-264), are coated onto dendrimer-like polyethylenimine (PEI)-grafted silica nanoparticles. Distinct molecular weight-cargos (αCLEC9A-OVA257-264 conjugates and 2'3'-cGAMP STING agonists) are loaded in hierarchical center-radial pores that enables lysosome escape for potent antigen-cross presentation and activates interferon type I, respectively. Impressively, Si9GM vaccination leads to the upregulation of cytotoxic T cells, a reduction in tumor regulatory T cells (Tregs), M1/M2 macrophage polarization, and immune response that synergizes with αPD-1 immune checkpoint blockade. This nanovaccine fulfills a dual role for both direct T cell activation as an artificial antigen-presenting cell and DC subset maturation, indicating its utility in clinical therapy and precision medicine.
