Key Role of Choline Head Groups in Large Unilamellar Phospholipid Vesicles for the Interaction with and Rupture by Silica Nanoparticles. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2207593.

Abstract
For highly abundant silica nanomaterials, detrimental effects on proteins and phospholipids are postulated as critical molecular initiating events that involve hydrogen-bonding, hydrophobic, and/or hydrophilic interactions. Here, large unilamellar vesicles with various well-defined phospholipid compositions are used as biomimetic models to recapitulate membranolysis, a process known to be induced by silica nanoparticles in human cells. Differential analysis of the dominant phospholipids determined in membranes of alveolar lung epithelial cells demonstrates that the quaternary ammonium head groups of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin play a critical and dose-dependent role in vesicle binding and rupture by amorphous colloidal silica nanoparticles. Surface modification by either protein adsorption or by covalent coupling of carboxyl groups suppresses the disintegration of these lipid vesicles, as well as membranolysis in human A549 lung epithelial cells by the silica nanoparticles. Furthermore, molecular modeling suggests a preferential affinity of silanol groups for choline head groups, which is also modulated by the pH value. Biomimetic lipid vesicles can thus be used to better understand specific phospholipid-nanoparticle interactions at the molecular level to support the rational design of safe advanced materials.

Abstract
Wound healing involves multiple stages of body responses, including hemostasis, inflammation, cell proliferation, and tissue remodeling. New material design satisfying all demands throughout different stages of wound healing is cherished but rarely discussed. Here we introduce all-aqueous multiphase microfluidics as a novel strategy to fabricate self-assembled, multifunctional alkylated chitosan/alginate microcapsules (SAAMs) as novel therapeutic materials for rapid blood coagulation and wound healing. SAAMs are structurally distinguished by their ultrathin shells with polycationic surface for rapid activation of clotting cascade and their internal porous dextran-rich cores for fast absorption of blood and exudate. These features endow SAAMs with excellent hemostatic properties for acute hemorrhage. Moreover, the alkylated chitosan within the microcapsules exhibits persistent antimicrobial activities against bactericidal infections due to their amphiphilic and cationic surfaces. Besides, cytokines can be safely loaded into the organic-solvent-free microcapsules and released precisely to promote the proliferation of epidermal cells, supporting the subsequent development of granulation tissue and suppression of inflammation in the last stages of wound healing. With the ability to fabricate size-tailored soft microcapsules and to realize time-sequential functions for tissue repairing, the presented "all-aqueous microfluidics generation of multifunctional bioactive SAAMs" create a versatile and robust paradigm for wound treatment.

Abstract
Global climate change is predicted to increase the average temperature of aquatic environments. Temperature changes modulate the toxicity of emerging chemical contaminants, such as nanoparticles (NPs). However, current hazard assessments of waterborne NPs seldom consider the influence of temperature. In this review, we gathered and analyzed the effects of temperature on the toxicity of waterborne NPs in different organisms. There was a general decrease in bioavailability with increasing temperature in algae and plants due to NPs aggregation, thus, reducing their toxicities. However, the agglomerated large particles caused by the increase in temperature induce a shading effect and inhibit algal photosynthesis. The toxicity of NPs in microorganisms and aquatic animals increases with increasing temperature. This may be due to the significant influence of high temperature on the uptake and excretion of chemicals across membranes, which increase the production of reactive oxygen species and enhance oxidative damage to organisms. High temperature also affect the formation and composition of a protein corona on NPs, altering their toxicity. Our results provide new insights into the toxicity of NPs in the context of global warming, and highlight the deficiencies of current research on NPs.
