Abstract
It is still unclear how the chemical speciation of Cu in surface seawater is impacted by aerosols from various sources deposited on the sea surface, which is surprising, considering the environmental importance of Cu. Therefore, we used voltammetry to investigate Cu complexing capacity (CuCC) in the sea surface microlayer (SML) and in the underlying water (ULW) of the oligotrophic middle Adriatic Sea during February-July 2019. The focus was on the impacts of specific atmospheric processes such as open-fire biomass burning (BB), pollination season and Saharan dust intrusion. The presence of ligand class L2 (19.9-392.0, average 63.8, median 43.1) nM; log K2 (8.3-10.2, average 9.6, median 9.6) was observed in all samples, while ligand class L1 (40.5-76.1, average 53.6, median 48.9) nM; log K1 (10.3-11.1, average 10.6, median 10.5) was found in only 25% of SML samples. Throughout the period, the SML was enriched with organic ligands by a factor of up to 9.1 compared to the ULW, mainly due to the high sensitivity of the SML to specific atmospheric depositions. In addition, measurements with corresponding specific model aerosols were conducted to analyse their impacts on CuCC. Pollen directly affected CuCC in the SML by increasing the concentration of allochthonous ligands such as proteins. The deposition of BB aerosols rich in nutrients and trace metals stimulated the biological production of organic ligands, showing an indirect effect on CuCC delayed by up to two weeks. Finally, Saharan dust had a negligible impact on CuCC. This study illustrates the susceptibility of oligotrophic coastal area to the effects of pollen and open-fire BB aerosols in altering the Cu-binding organic ligands in the SML.

Abstract
Transition metal ions, such as copper, are indispensable components in the biological system. Copper ions which primarily exist in two major oxidation states Cu(I) and Cu(II) play crucial roles in various cellular processes including antioxidant defense, biosynthesis of neurotransmitters, and energy metabolism, owing to their inherent redox activity. The disturbance in copper homeostasis can contribute to the development of copper metabolism disorders, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting the significance of understanding the copper trafficking system in cellular environments. This review aims to offer a comprehensive overview of copper homeostatic machinery, with an emphasis on the coordination chemistry of copper transporters and trafficking proteins. While copper chaperones and the corresponding metalloenzymes are thoroughly discussed, we also explore the potential existence of low-molecular-mass metal complexes within cellular systems. Furthermore, we summarize the toxicity mechanisms originating from copper deficiency or accumulation, which include the dysregulation of oxidative stress, signaling pathways, signal transduction, and amyloidosis. This perspective review delves into the current knowledge regarding the intricate aspects of the copper trafficking system, providing valuable insights into potential treatment strategies from the standpoint of bioinorganic chemistry.

Abstract
To overcome the low efficacy of conventional monotherapeutic approaches that use a single drug, functional nanocarriers loaded with an amalgamation of anticancer drugs have been promising in cancer therapy. Herein, aloe-derived nanovesicles (gADNVs) are modified with an active integrin-targeted peptide (Arg-Gly-Asp, RGD) by the postinsertion technique to deliver indocyanine green (ICG) and doxorubicin (DOX) for efficient breast cancer therapy. We presented for the first time that the π-π stacking interaction can turn the "competitive" relationship of ICG and DOX inside gADNVs into a "cooperative" relationship and enhance their loading efficiency. The dual-drug codelivery nanosystem, denoted as DIARs, was well stable and leakproof, exhibiting high tumor-targeting capability both in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, this nanosystem showed significant inhibition of cell growth and migration and induced cell apoptosis with the combination of phototherapy and chemotherapy. Intravenous administration of DIARs exhibited high therapeutic efficacy in a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model and exhibited no obvious damage to other organs. Overall, our DIAR nanosystem constitutively integrated the natural and economical gADNVs, π-π stacking interaction based on efficient drug loading, and tumor-targeted RGD modification to achieve an effective combination therapy for breast cancer.

Bioelectrochemistry 2022; 144:108009.

Abstract
The cell membrane is structured so that the surface layer is composed of lipid molecules with selective permeability for micronutrients and organic ligands. Binding of Co (II) to natural lipid phosphatidylcholine (PC) has been studied to identify a possible mechanism of Co (II) entry through the cell membrane of the biota in detail, by voltammetry followed by checking the system at the air-water boundary, by Langmuir method. Binding of cobalt (II) ions to the PC molecules was enabled by the Co(II)-1,10-Phenanthroline (Phen) complex formation as an intermediate. Co(II)-Phen-PC complex reduction was recorded in the pH range from 5 to 9.5. The reduction was identified as a two-electron irreversible reaction at about -1.5 V, with the reactant adsorption followed dissociation (EC mechanism). The Co(II)-Phen-PC complex electrode surface concentration (Γ) was calculated to be (1.45 ± 0.12) × 10-10 mol.cm-2. Conditional stability constants log KCo(II)Phen2PC = 23.02 ± 0.26 and log KCo(II)Phen2PC2 = 29.31 ± 0.17 (Ic = 0.55) were calculated by CLE/ACSV method. Pressure-area (π-A) isotherms obtained at water-air interface by Langmuir monolayer technique indicated penetration of Co(II)-Phen into the PC monolayer, supporting electrochemical results. The equilibrium constants of the Co (II)-PC system (1:1) at the air-water interface was calculated to be K1 = 2.4 × 10-2 m3 mol-1, while for Co(II)-Phen-PC K2 = 4.86 × 1010 m2 mol-1.
