Abstract
We report a facile interfacial assembly strategy for the preparation of flexible polyphenol-based films for antibacterial and antiultraviolet applications. The free-standing films can be instantaneously formed via spraying tannic acid (TA) at the surface of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) solutions. Compared with the traditional casting-evaporation procedure on solid substrates, the liquid interfacial assembly method for the construction of free-standing films is rapid and facile, which prevents the interface separation procedure from the substrates. The thickness and mechanical properties of the films are well controlled by changing the incubation time. The low-field nuclear magnetic resonance was used to analyze the water distributions inside the films and to distinguish the cross-linked structure of CMCS-TA films with different thicknesses, revealing the dynamics of the film formation process. Importantly, the films exhibit outstanding antibacterial and antiultraviolet properties, which are promising in the applications of wound dressings. This study provides a new avenue for the assembly of flexible free-standing films with multifunctionality via a facile and low-cost fabrication process.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 668:282-292. [PMID: 38678884 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.04.130] [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: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) have emerged as a versatile and multifunctional platform applied in bioimaging, disease treatment, electrocatalysis, and water purification. The synthesis of MPNs with mesoporous frameworks and ultra-small diameters (<200 nm), crucial for post-modification, cargo loading, and mass transport, remains a formidable challenge. Inspired by mussel chemistry, mesoporous metal-phenolic nanospheres (MMPNs) are facilely prepared by direct deposition of the metal-polyphenol complex on the interface of oil nano-droplets composed of block copolymers/1,3,5-trimethylbenzene followed by a spontaneous template-removal process. Due to the penetrable and stable networks, the oil nano-droplets gradually leak from the networks driven by shear stress during the stirring process. As a result, MMPNs are obtained without additional template removal procedures such as solvent extraction or high-temperature calcination. The materials have a large pore size (∼12.1 nm), uniform spherical morphology with a small particle size (∼99 nm), and a large specific surface area (49.8 m2 g-1). Due to the abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups, the MMPNs show excellent antioxidative property. The MMPNs also have excellent photothermal property, whose photothermal conversion efficiency was 40.9 %. Moreover, the phenolic hydroxyl groups can reduce Ag+ in situ to prepare Ag nanoparticles loaded MMPNs composites, which have excellent inhibition performance of drug-resistant bacteria biofilm.

Abstract
As natural living substances, microorganisms have emerged as useful resources in medicine for creating microbe-material hybrids ranging from nano to macro dimensions. The engineering of microbe-involved nanomedicine capitalizes on the distinctive physiological attributes of microbes, particularly their intrinsic "living" properties such as hypoxia tendency and oxygen production capabilities. Exploiting these remarkable characteristics in combination with other functional materials or molecules enables synergistic enhancements that hold tremendous promise for improved drug delivery, site-specific therapy, and enhanced monitoring of treatment outcomes, presenting substantial opportunities for amplifying the efficacy of disease treatments. This comprehensive review outlines the microorganisms and microbial derivatives used in biomedicine and their specific advantages for therapeutic application. In addition, we delineate the fundamental strategies and mechanisms employed for constructing microbe-material hybrids. The diverse biomedical applications of the constructed microbe-material hybrids, encompassing bioimaging, anti-tumor, anti-bacteria, anti-inflammation and other diseases therapy are exhaustively illustrated. We also discuss the current challenges and prospects associated with the clinical translation of microbe-material hybrid platforms. Therefore, the unique versatility and potential exhibited by microbe-material hybrids position them as promising candidates for the development of next-generation nanomedicine and biomaterials with unique theranostic properties and functionalities.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wounds are the most common complication for diabetic patients. Due to high oxidative stress levels affecting the entire healing process, treating diabetic wounds remains a challenge. Here, we present a strategy for continuously regulating oxidative stress microenvironment by the catalyst-like magnesium-gallate metal-organic framework (Mg-GA MOF) and developing sprayable hydrogel dressing with sodium alginate/chitosan quaternary ammonium salts to treat diabetic wounds. Chitosan quaternary ammonium salts with antibacterial properties can prevent bacterial infection. The continuous release of gallic acid (GA) effectively eliminates reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduces oxidative stress, and accelerates the polarization of M1-type macrophages to M2-type, shortening the transition between inflammation and proliferative phase and maintaining redox balance. Besides, magnesium ions adjuvant therapy promotes vascular regeneration and neuronal formation by activating the expression of vascular-associated genes. Sprayable hydrogel dressings with antibacterial, antioxidant, and inflammatory regulation rapidly repair diabetic wounds by promoting neurovascular network reconstruction and accelerating re-epithelialization and collagen deposition. This study confirms the feasibility of catalyst-like MOF-contained sprayable hydrogel to regulate the microenvironment continuously and provides guidance for developing the next generation of non-drug diabetes dressings.

Abstract
The role of tannins (TA), a well-known abundant and ecologically friendly chelating ligand, in metal capture has long been studied. Different kinds of TA-containing adsorbents are synthesized for uranium capture, while most adsorbents suffer from unfavorable adsorption kinetics. Herein, the design and preparation of a TA-containing 2D crosslinked network adsorbent (TANP) is reported. The ≈1.8-nanometer-thick TANP films curl up into micrometer-scale pores, which contribute to fast mass transfer and full exposure of active sites. The coordination environment of uranyl (UO2 2+) ions is explored by integrated analysis of U L3-edge XANES and EXAFS. Density functional theory calculations indicate the energetically favorable UO2 2+ binding. Consequently, TANP with excellent adsorption kinetics presents a high uranium capture capacity (14.62 mg-U g-Ads-1) and a high adsorption rate (0.97 mg g-1 day-1) together with excellent selectivity and biofouling resistance. Life cycle assessment and cost analysis demonstrate that TANP has tremendous potential for application in industrial-scale uranium extraction from seawater.

Abstract
Excessive use of antibiotics and the formation of bacterial biofilms can lead to persistent infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria, rendering ineffective immune responses and even life-threatening. There is an urgent need to explore synergistic antibacterial therapies across all stages of infection. Drawing inspiration from the antibacterial properties of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and integrating the bacterial biofilm dispersal mechanism involving boronic acid-catechol interaction, the multifunctional bismuth-based polypeptide nanonets (PLBA-Bi-Fe-TA) are developed. These nanonets are designed to capture bacteria through a coordination complex involving cationic polypeptides (PLBA) with boronic acid-functionalized side chains, alongside metal ions (bismuth (Bi) and iron (Fe)), and tannic acid (TA). Leveraging the nanoconfinement-enhanced high-contact network-driven multiple efficiency, PLBA-Bi-Fe-TA demonstrates the excellent ability to swiftly capture bacteria and their extracellular polysaccharides. This interaction culminates in the formation of a highly hydrophilic complex, effectively enabling the rapid inhibition and dispersion of antibiotic-resistant bacterial biofilms, while Fe-TA shows mild photothermal ability to further assist fluffy mature biofilm. In addition, Bi is beneficial to regulate the polarization of macrophages to pro-inflammatory phenotype to further kill escaping biofilm bacteria. In summary, this novel approach offers a promising bionic optimization strategy for treating bacterial-associated infections at all stages through synergetic treatment.

Abstract
With increasing demand of fossil fuels and water pollution and their environmental impacts, marine green microalgae have gained special attention in both scientific and industrial fields. This is due to their fast growth in non-arable lands with high photosynthetic activity, their metabolic plasticity, as well as their high CO2 capture capacity. Tetraselmis species, green and eukaryotic microalgae, are not only considered as a valuable source of biomolecules including pigments, lipids, and starch but also widely used in biotechnological applications. Tetraselmis cultivation for high-value biomolecules and industrial use was demonstrated to be a non-cost-effective strategy because of its low demand in nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen. Recently, phycoremediation of wastewater rich in nutrients, chemicals, and heavy metals has become an efficient and economic-alternative that allows the detoxification of waters and induces mechanisms in algal cells for biomolecules rich-energy synthesis to regulate their metabolic pathways. This review aims to shed light on Tetraselmis species for their different culture conditions and metabolites bioaccumulation, as well as their human health and environmental applications. Additionally, phycoremediation of contaminants associated to biofuel production in Tetraselmis cells and their different intracellular and extracellular mechanisms have also been investigated.

Abstract
The effectiveness of tumor treatment using reactive oxygen species as the primary therapeutic medium is hindered by limitations of tumor microenvironment (TME), such as intrinsic hypoxia in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and overproduction of reducing glutathione (GSH) in chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Herein, we fabricate metal-polyphenol self-assembled nanodots (Fe@BDP NDs) guided by second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging. The Fe@BDP NDs are designed for synergistic combination of type-I PDT and CDT-amplified ferroptosis. In a mildly acidic TME, Fe@BDP NDs demonstrate great Fenton activity, leading to the generation of highly toxic hydroxyl radicals from overproduced hydrogen peroxide in tumor cells. Furthermore, Fe@BDP NDs show favorable efficacy in type-I PDT, even in tolerating tumor hypoxia, generating active superoxide anion upon exposure to 808 nm laser irradiation. The significant efficiency in reactive oxygen species (ROS) products results in the oxidation of sensitive polyunsaturated fatty acids, accelerating lethal lipid peroxidation (LPO) bioprocess. Additionally, Fe@BDP NDs illustrate an outstanding capability for GSH depletion, causing the inactivation of glutathione peroxidase 4 and further promoting lethal LPO. The synergistic type-I photodynamic and chemodynamic cytotoxicity effectively trigger irreversible ferroptosis by disrupting the intracellular redox homeostasis. Moreover, Fe@BDP NDs demonstrate charming NIR-II fluorescence imaging capability and effectively accumulated at the tumor site, visualizing the distribution of Fe@BDP NDs and the treatment process. The chemo/photo-dynamic-amplified ferroptotic efficacy of Fe@BDP NDs was evidenced both in vitro and in vivo. This study presents a compelling approach to intensify ferroptosis via visualized CDT and PDT. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, we detailed the fabrication of metal-polyphenol self-assembled nanodots (Fe@BDP NDs) guided by second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging, aiming to intensify ferroptosis via the synergistic combination of type-I PDT and CDT. In a mildly acidic TME, Fe@BDP NDs exhibited significant Fenton activity, resulting in the generation of highly toxic •OH from overproduced H2O2 in tumor cells. Fe@BDP NDs possessed a remarkable capability for GSH depletion, resulting in the inactivation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and further accelerating lethal LPO. This study presented a compelling approach to intensify ferroptosis via visualized CDT and PDT.

Novel biomaterials are becoming more crucial in treating human diseases. However, many materials require complex artificial modifications and synthesis, leading to potential difficulties in preparation, side effects, and clinical translation. Recently, significant progress has been achieved in terms of direct self-assembly of natural products from herbal medicine (NPHM), an important source for novel medications, resulting in a wide range of bioactive supramolecular materials including gels, and nanoparticles. The NPHM-based supramolecular bioactive materials are produced from renewable resources, are simple to prepare, and have demonstrated multi-functionality including slow-release, smart-responsive release, and especially possess powerful biological effects to treat various diseases. In this review, NPHM-based supramolecular bioactive materials have been revealed as an emerging, revolutionary, and promising strategy. The development, advantages, and limitations of NPHM, as well as the advantageous position of NPHM-based materials, are first reviewed. Subsequently, a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the self-assembly strategies specific to seven major classes of NPHM is highlighted. Insights into the influence of NPHM structural features on the formation of supramolecular materials are also provided. Finally, the drivers and preparations are summarized, emphasizing the biomedical applications, future scientific challenges, and opportunities, with the hope of igniting inspiration for future research and applications.

Abstract
In recent years, hydrogel-based flexible sensors have garnered increasing attention in research. Ionic hydrogels, enriched with large amounts of ionic liquids, exhibit electrical conductivity, excellent electrochemical stability, anti-freezing, and antimicrobial properties. However, most ionic hydrogels suffer from poor mechanical properties, limiting their adaptability to more complex application scenarios. Integrating conductive polymers into hydrogels leads to desirable features such as increased specific surface area, soft and biocompatible interfaces, and high electrolyte permeability. In this study, we successfully prepared Fe3+/Ap@PVA/PEDOT double-network hydrogel. Utilizing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the primary matrix, we introduced PEDOT:PSS and FeCl3 to confer conductivity to the hydrogel. The incorporation of amylopectin (Ap) further enhanced mechanical performance. The resulted hydrogel sensor exhibits outstanding mechanical properties, allowing for stretching up to 347 % and withstanding a tensile force of 505 kPa. In addition, it exhibits excellent antifreeze properties (can work at -30 °C), healability, water retention, and high sensitivity to stretching (GF = 4.72 at a 200 % strain ratio), compression (GF = 2.97 at a 12 % compressive ratio), and temperature (TCR = 2.46). These remarkable properties of the hydrogel make it possible in applications such as human motion monitoring, handwriting recognition, and temperature sensing.

An Osteoimmunomodulatory Biopatch Potentiates Stem Cell Therapies for Bone Regeneration by Simultaneously Regulating IL-17/Ferroptosis Signaling Pathways.

Abstract
Currently, there are still great challenges in promoting bone defect healing, a common health problem affecting millions of people. Herein an osteoimmunity-regulating biopatch capable of promoting stem cell-based therapies for bone regeneration is developed. A totally biodegradable conjugate is first synthesized, which can self-assemble into bioactive nano micelles (PPT NMs). This nanotherapy effectively improves the osteogenesis of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) under pathological conditions, by simultaneously regulating IL-17 signaling and ferroptosis pathways. Incorporation of PPT NMs into biodegradable electrospun nanofibers affords a bioactive patch, which notably improves bone formation in two rat bone defect models. A Janus bio patch is then engineered by integrating the bioactive patch with a stem cell sheet of PDLSCs. The obtained biopatch shows additionally potentiated bone regeneration capacity, by synergistically regulating osteoimmune microenvironment and facilitating stem cell differentiation. Further surface functionalization of the biopatch with tannic acid considerably increases its adhesion to the bone defect, prolongs local retention, and sustains bioactivities, thereby offering much better repair effects in rats with mandibular or cranial bone defects. Moreover, the engineered bioactive patches display good safety. Besides bone defects, this osteoimmunity-regulating biopatch strategy can be applied to promote stem cell therapies for spinal cord injury, wound healing, and skin burns.

Supramolecular assembly of Polydopamine@Fe nanoparticles with near-infrared light-accelerated cascade catalysis applied for synergistic photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) via Fenton-like reaction is greatly attractive owing to its capability to generate highly cytotoxic •OH radicals from tumoral hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). However, the antitumor efficacy of CDT is often challenged by the relatively low radical generation efficiency and the high levels of antioxidative glutathione (GSH) in tumor microenvironment. Herein, an innovative photothermal Fenton-like catalyst, Fe-chelated polydopamine (PDA@Fe) nanoparticle, with excellent GSH-depleting capability is constructed via one-step molecular assembly strategy for dual-modal imaging-guided synergetic photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy. Fe(III) ions in PDA@Fe nanoparticles can consume the GSH overexpressed in tumor microenvironment to avoid the potential •OH consumption, while the as-produced Fe(II) ions subsequently convert tumoral H2O2 into cytotoxic •OH radicals through the Fenton reaction. Notably, PDA@Fe nanoparticles demonstrate excellent near-infrared light absorption that results in superior photothermal conversion ability, which further boosts above-mentioned cascade catalysis to yield more •OH radicals for enhanced CDT. Taken together with T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast enhancement (r1 = 8.13 mM-1 s-1) and strong photoacoustic (PA) imaging signal of PDA@Fe nanoparticles, this design finally realizes the synergistic photothermal-chemodynamic therapy. Overall, this work offers a new promising paradigm to effectively accommodate both imaging and therapy functions in one well-defined framework for personalized precision disease treatment.

Abstract
Drug-resistant bacterial infections and their lipopolysaccharide-related inflammatory complications continue to pose significant challenges in traditional treatments. Inspired by the rapid initiation of resident macrophages to form aggregates for efficient antibacterial action, this study proposes a multifunctional and enhanced antibacterial strategy through the construction of novel biomimetic cell membrane polypeptide nanonets (R-DPB-TA-Ce). The design involves the fusion of end-terminal lipidated polypeptides containing side-chain cationic boronic acid groups (DNPLBA) with cell membrane intercalation engineering (R-DPB), followed by coordination with the tannic acid-cerium complex (TA-Ce) to assemble into a biomimetic nanonet through boronic acid-polyphenol-metal ion interactions. In addition to the ability of RAW 264.7 macrophages cell membrane components' (R) ability to neutralize lipopolysaccharide (LPS), R-DPB-TA-Ce demonstrated enhanced capture of bacteria and its LPS, leveraging nanoconfinement-enhanced multiple interactions based on the boronic acid-polyphenol nanonets skeleton combined with polysaccharide. Utilizing these advantages, indocyanine green (ICG) is further employed as a model drug for delivery, showcasing the exceptional treatment effect of R-DPB-TA-Ce as a new biomimetic assembled drug delivery system in antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing promotion. Thus, this strategy of mimicking macrophage aggregates is anticipated to be further applicable to various types of cell membrane engineering for enhanced antibacterial treatment.

Abstract
Recently, anionic bio-templates have emerged as promising platforms for designing dynamic and stimuli-responsive chromophoric assemblies capable of light harvesting in aqueous media thereby mimicking natural photosynthesis. Here, we present multi-metal ion-responsive luminescent co-assemblies between cationic pyrene-imidazolium amphiphile and anionic bio-templates (ATP, heparin, and DNA) in aqueous media. The anionic bio-templates enhance Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) in the co-assemblies, with pyrene serving as an excellent donor for generating tunable multi-luminescent materials with embedded acceptor dyes. However, a significant loss in energy transfer towards acceptor dyes was observed in the presence of various metal ions, attributed to excimeric emission quenching facilitated by electron transfer between the pyrene chromophore and metal ions. Interestingly, detailed studies revealed that only ATP-based co-assemblies exhibited quenching phenomena in the presence of metal ions, contrasting with heparin and ctDNA co-assemblies. Additionally, label-free detection of multi-metal ions in aqueous environments, such as Fe2+, Fe3+, and Cu2+ ions, was successfully achieved with lower detection limits of 0.01 μM (3 ppb), 0.12 μM (30 ppb), and 0.58 μM (150 ppb) respectively. These co-assemblies hold significant promise for practical applications in environmental and biomedical sensing, enabling sensitive monitoring of metal ion concentrations.

Abstract
Crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered extensive attention owing to their highly ordered porous structure and physicochemical properties. However, their practical application often requires their integration with various substrates, which is challenging because of their weakly adhesive nature and the diversity of substrates that exhibit different properties. Herein, we report the use of amorphous metal-phenolic network coatings to facilitate the growth of crystalline MOF coatings on various particle and planar substrates. Crystalline MOFs with different metal ions and morphologies were successfully deposited on substrates (13 types) of varying sizes, shapes, and surface chemistries. Furthermore, the physicochemical properties of the coated crystalline MOFs (e.g., composition, thickness) could be tuned using different synthesis conditions. The engineered MOF-coated membranes demonstrated excellent liquid and gas separation performance, exhibiting a high H2 permeance of 63200 GPU and a H2/CH4 selectivity of 10.19, likely attributable to the thin nature of the coating (~180 nm). Considering the vast array of MOFs available (>90,000) and the diversity of substrates, this work is expected to pave the way for creating a wide range of MOF composites and coatings with potential applications in diverse fields.

The presence of hierarchical suppressive pathways in the immune system combined with poor delivery efficiencies of adjuvants and antigens to antigen-presenting cells are major challenges in developing advanced vaccines. The present study reports a nanoadjuvant constructed using aluminosilicate nanoparticles (as particle templates), incorporating cytosine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) oligonucleotides and small-interfering RNA (siRNA) to counteract immune suppression in antigen-presenting cells. Furthermore, the application of a metal-phenolic network (MPN) coating, which can endow the nanoparticles with protective and bioadhesive properties, is assessed with regard to the stability and immune function of the resulting nanoadjuvant in vitro and in vivo. Combining the adjuvanticity of aluminum and CpG with RNA interference and MPN coating results in a nanoadjuvant that exhibits greater accumulation in lymph nodes and elicits improved maturation of dendritic cells in comparison to a formulation without siRNA or MPN, and with no observable organ toxicity. The incorporation of a model antigen, ovalbumin, within the MPN coating demonstrates the capacity of MPNs to load functional biomolecules as well as the ability of the nanoadjuvant to trigger enhanced antigen-specific responses. The present template-assisted fabrication strategy for engineering nanoadjuvants holds promise in the design of delivery systems for disease prevention, as well as therapeutics.

Abstract
Drug delivery is a key component of nanomedicine, and conventional delivery relies on the adsorption or encapsulation of drug molecules to a nanomaterial. Many delivery vehicles contain metal ions, such as metal-organic frameworks, metal oxides, transition metal dichalcogenides, MXene, and noble metal nanoparticles. These materials have a high metal content and pose potential long-term toxicity concerns leading to difficulties for clinical approval. In this review, recent developments are summarized in the use of drug molecules as ligands for metal coordination forming various nanomaterials and soft materials. In these cases, the drug-to-metal ratio is much higher than conventional adsorption-based strategies. The drug molecules are divided into small-molecule drugs, nucleic acids, and proteins. The formed hybrid materials mainly include nanoparticles and hydrogels, upon which targeting ligands can be grafted to improve efficacy and further decrease toxicity. The application of these materials for addressing cancer, viral infection, bacterial infection inflammatory bowel disease, and bone diseases is reviewed. In the end, some future directions are discussed from fundamental research, materials science, and medicine.

Abstract
For many years, metal-flavonoid complexes have been widely studied as a part of drug discovery programs, but in the last decade their importance in materials science has increased significantly. A deeper understanding of the role of metal ions and flavonoids in constructing simple complexes and more advanced hybrid networks will facilitate the assembly of materials with tailored architecture and functionality. In this Review, we highlight the most essential data on metal-flavonoid systems, presenting a promising alternative in the design of hybrid inorganic-organic materials. We focus mainly on systems containing CuII/I and FeIII/II ions, which are necessary in natural and industrial catalysis. We discuss two kinds of interactions that typically ensure the formation of metal-flavonoid systems, namely coordination and redox reactions. Our intention is to cover the fundamentals of metal-flavonoid systems to show how this knowledge has been already transferred from small molecules to complex materials.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134194.

Abstract
The escalating prevalence of nanoplastics contamination in environmental ecosystems has emerged as a significant health hazard. Conventional analytical methods are suboptimal, hindered by their inefficiency in analyzing nanoplastics at low concentrations and their time-intensive processes. In this context, we have developed an innovative approach that employs luminescent metal-phenolic networks (L-MPNs) coupled with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to separate and label nanoplastics, enabling rapid, sensitive and quantitative detection. Our strategy utilizes L-MPNs composed of zirconium ions, tannic acid, and rhodamine B to uniformly label nanoplastics across a spectrum of sizes (50-500 nm) and types (e.g., polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, polylactic acid). Rhodamine B (RhB) functions as a Raman reporter within these L-MPNs-based SERS tags, providing the requisite sensitivity for trace measurement of nanoplastics. Moreover, the labeling with L-MPNs aids in the efficient separation of nanoplastics from liquid media. Utilizing a portable Raman instrument, our methodology offers cost-effective, swift, and field-deployable detection capabilities, with excellent sensitivity in nanoplastic analysis and a detection threshold as low as 0.1 μg/mL. Overall, this study proposes a highly promising strategy for the robust and sensitive analysis of a broad spectrum of particle analytes, underscored by the effective labeling performance of L-MPNs when coupled with SERS techniques.

Abstract
Molecules with nonplanar architectures are highly desirable due to their unique topological structures and functions. We report here the synthesis of two molecular containers (1 ⋅ 3Br- and 1 ⋅ 3Cl-), which utilize intramolecular cation-π interactions to enforce macrocylic arrangements and exhibit high binding affinity and luminescent properties. Remarkably, the geometry of the cation-π interaction can be flexibly tailored to achieve a precise ring arrangement, irrespective of the angle of the noncovalent bonds. Additionally, the C-H⋅⋅⋅Br- hydrogen bonds within the container are also conducive to stabilizing the bowl-shaped conformation. These bowl-shaped conformations were confirmed both in solution through NMR spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray studies. 1 ⋅ 3Br- shows high binding affinity and selectivity: F->Cl-, through C-H⋅⋅⋅X- (X=F, Cl) hydrogen bonds. Additionally, these containers exhibited blue fluorescence in solution and yellow room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in the solid state. Our findings illustrate the utility of cation-π interactions in designing functional molecules.

Abstract
Albumin nanoparticles are widely used in biomedicine due to their safety, low immunogenicity, and prolonged circulation. However, incorporating therapeutic molecules into these carriers faces challenges due to limited binding sites, restricting drug conjugation efficiency. We introduce a universal nanocarrier platform (X-UNP) using polyphenol-based engineering to incorporate phenolic moieties into albumin nanoparticles. Integration of catechol or galloyl groups significantly enhances drug binding and broadens the drug conjugation possibilities. Our study presents a library of X-UNP nanoparticles with improved drug-loading efficiency, achieving up to 96% across 10 clinically used drugs, surpassing conventional methods. Notably, ibuprofen-UNP nanoparticles exhibit a 5-fold increase in half-life compared with free ibuprofen, enhancing in vivo analgesic and anti-inflammatory effectiveness. This research establishes a versatile platform for protein-based nanosized materials accommodating various therapeutic agents in biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Films formed by metals and phenols through a coordinative interaction have been extensively studied in previous years. We report the successful formation of MPN films from the phenolic compounds caffeic acid and lignosulfonate using Fe3+ ions for complexation. The likewise examined p-coumaryl alcohol showed some MPN film formation tendency, while for coniferyl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol, no successful film buildup could be observed. These newly formed films were compared to tannic acid-Fe3+ films as a reference. Film growth and degradation were tracked by using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The films were degradable under different conditions such as alkaline environments or in the presence of a strong chelator. Small hollow capsules with a diameter of 3 μm and thicknesses in the nanometer range were produced. Additionally, the prepared films showed varying colors and levels of wettability. By utilizing the films' coating properties, we successfully dyed human hair in various colors.

Abstract
Cancer cells can upregulate the MYC expression to repair the radiotherapy-triggered DNA damage, aggravating therapeutic resistance and tumor immunosuppression. Epigenetic treatment targeting the MYC-transcriptional abnormality may intensively solve this clinical problem. Herein, 5-Aza (a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor) and ITF-2357 (a histone deacetylase inhibitor) are engineered into a tungsten-based nano-radiosensitizer (PWAI), to suppress MYC rising and awaken robust radiotherapeutic antitumor immunity. Individual 5-Aza depletes MYC expression but cannot efficiently awaken radiotherapeutic immunity. This drawback can be overcome by the addition of ITF-2357, which triggers cancer cellular type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling. Coupling 5-Aza with ITF-2357 ensures that PWAI does not evoke the treated model with high MYC-related immune resistance while amplifying the radiotherapeutic tumor killing, and more importantly promotes the generation of IFN-I signal-related proteins involving IFN-α and IFN-β. Unlike the radiation treatment alone, PWAI-triggered immuno-radiotherapy remarkably enhances antitumor immune responses involving the tumor antigen presentation by dendritic cells, and improves intratumoral recruitment of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and their memory-phenotype formation in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. Downgrading the radiotherapy-induced MYC overexpression via the dual-epigenetic reprogramming strategy may elicit a robust immuno-radiotherapy.

Abstract
Nature has exhibited a high degree of control over the structures and functions. Supramolecules have been utilized to mimic the subtle assembly in nature. However, sophisticated synthesis of molecular skeletons or programmable design of the driving forces raises great challenges in fabricating high-level superstructures in a controlled manner. Natural polyphenols show great promises as building blocks for a diverse of assemblies with controlled structures and functionalities. The intrinsically embedded phenolic groups (i. e., catechol and galloyl groups) are readily forming multiple molecular interactions, including coordination, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions with various materials of inorganic particles, organic compounds, synthetic polymers, and biomacromolecules, providing the self-assembled structures or nanocoating on surfaces. Subsequent assembly occurred by further bonding of polyphenols to construct supraparticles. To gain control over the self-assembly, the key lies in the interplay among the molecular interactions with one or two being dominant. In this Perspective, we introduce the representative polyphenol-based assemblies and their derived supraparticles to exhibit the effective harness of the controlled self-assembly by polyphenols.

Abstract
The metabolite transport inhibition of tumor cells holds promise to achieve anti-tumor efficacy. Herein, we presented an innovative strategy to hinder the delivery of metabolites through the in-situ besieging tumor cells with polyphenolic polymers that strongly adhere to the cytomembrane of tumor cells. Simultaneously, these polymers underwent self-crosslinking under the induction of tumor oxidative stress microenvironment to form an adhesive coating on the surface of the tumor cells. This polyphenol coating effectively obstructed glucose uptake, reducing metabolic products such as lactic acid, glutathione, and adenosine triphosphate, while also causing reactive oxygen species to accumulate in the tumor cells. The investigation of various tumor models, including 2D cells, 3D multicellular tumor spheroids, and xenograft tumors, demonstrated that the polyphenolic polymers effectively inhibited the growth of tumor cells by blocking key metabolite transport processes. Moreover, this highly adhesive coating could bind tumor cells to suppress their metastasis and invasion. This work identified polyphenolic polymers as a promising anticancer candidate with a mechanism by impeding the mass transport of tumor cells.

Abstract
The limited osteointegration often leads to the failure of implant, which can be improved by fixing bioactive molecules onto the surface, such as arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid (RGD): a cell adhesion motif. Metal-Phenolic Networks (MPNs) have garnered increasing attention from different disciplines in recent years due to their simple and rapid process for depositing on various substrates or particles with different shapes. However, the lack of cellular binding sites on MPNs greatly blocks its application in tissue engineering. In this study, we present a facile and efficient approach for producing PC/Fe@c(RGDfc) composite coatings through the conjugation of c(RGDfc) peptides onto the surface of PC/Fe-MPNs utilizing thiol-click reaction. By combined various techniques (ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, water contact angle, scanning electronic microscopy, atomic force microscopy) the physicochemical properties (composition, coating mechanism and process, modulus and hydrophilicity) of PC/Fe@c(RGDfc) surface were characterized in detail. In addition, the PC/Fe@c(RGDfc) coating exhibits the remarkable ability to positively modulate cellular attachment, proliferation, migration and promoted bone-implant integration in vivo, maintaining the inherent features of MPNs: anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative properties, as well as multiple substrate deposition. This work contributes to engineering MPNs-based coatings with bioactive molecules by a facile and efficient thiol-click reaction, as an innovative perspective for future development of surface modification of implant materials.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a combination of raw herbs and herbal extracts with a plethora of documented beneficial bioactivities, which has unique advantages in anti-tumor therapy, and many of its major bioactive molecules have been identified in recent years due to advances in chemical separation and structural analysis. However, the major chemical classes of plant-derived bioactive compounds frequently possess chemical properties, including poor water solubility, stability, and bioavailability, that limit their therapeutic application. Alternatively, natural small molecules (NSMs) containing these components possess modifiable groups, multiple action sites, hydrophobic side chains, and a rigid skeleton with self-assembly properties that can be exploited to construct self-assembled nanoparticles with therapeutic effects superior to their individual constituents. For instance, the construction of a self-assembled nanodrug delivery system can effectively overcome the strong hydrophobicity and poor in vivo stability of NSMs, thereby greatly improving their bioavailability and enhancing their anti-tumor efficacy. This review summarizes the self-assembly methods, mechanisms, and applications of a variety of NSMs, including terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, polyphenols, and saponins, providing a theoretical basis for the subsequent research on NSMs and the development of SANDDS.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a serious public health issue because of its chronic and incurable nature. Common IBD drugs have limited efficacy and produce adverse effects, leading to an urgent need to develop new drugs and drug delivery systems. Curcumin (Cur) is a natural and nontoxic drug that is increasingly used in the treatment of IBD owing to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Metal-polyphenol networks constructed from metal ions and polyphenols exhibit biological functionality while acting as an adhesive nanomaterial to encapsulate nano-Cur, thereby improving its solubility and drug release behavior. In this study, we prepared a Cur@Fe&TA nanodrug delivery system by constructing an Fe3+/tannic acid (TA) metal-polyphenol network with encapsulated Cur. The Cur@Fe&TA nanodrug exhibited good stability, drug release behavior, and biocompatibility. Based on the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of Cur@Fe&TA, the gastrointestinal cytopathology in an IBD mouse model was effectively improved. The proposed Cur@Fe&TA nanomedicine delivery system has promising application and research value for the treatment of IBD by regulating levels of antioxidants and inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
Water-energy sustainability will depend upon the rapid development of advanced pressure-driven separation membranes. Although energy-efficient, water-treatment membranes are constrained by ubiquitous fouling, which may be alleviated by engineering self-cleaning membrane interfaces. In this study, a metal-polyphenol network was designed to direct the armorization of catalytic nanofilms (ca. 18 nm) on inert polymeric membranes. The chelation-directed mineralized coating exhibits high polarity, superhydrophilicity, and ultralow adhesion to crude oil, enabling cyclable crude oil-in-water emulsion separation. The in-place flux recovery rate exceeded 99.9%, alleviating the need for traditional ex situ cleaning. The chelation-directed nanoarmored membrane exhibited 48-fold and 6.8-fold figures of merit for in-place self-cleaning regeneration compared to the control membrane and simple hydraulic cleaning, respectively. Precursor interaction mechanisms were identified by density functional theory calculations. Chelation-directed armorization offers promise for sustainable applications in catalysis, biomedicine, environmental remediation, and beyond.

Abstract
Treating the most widespread complication of diabetes: diabetic wounds poses a significant clinical obstacle due to the intricate nature of wound healing in individuals with diabetes. Here a novel approach is proposed using easily applicable injectable gelatin/metal/tea polyphenol double nanonetworks, which effectively remodel the wound microenvironment and accelerates the healing process. The gelatin(Gel) crosslink with metal ions (Zr4+ ) through the amino acids, imparting advantageous mechanical properties like self-healing, injectability, and adhesion. The nanonetwork's biological functions are further enhanced by incorporating the tea polyphenol metal nanonetwork through in situ doping of the epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with great antibacterial, self-healing, antioxidant, and anticancer capabilities. The in vitro and in vivo tests show that this double nanonetworks hydrogel exhibits faster cell migration and favorable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and can greatly reshape the microenvironment of diabetic wounds and accelerate the wound healing rate. In addition, this hydrogel is completely degraded after subcutaneous injection for 7 days, with nondetectable cytotoxicity in H&E staining of major mice organs and the serum level of liver function indicators. Considering the above-mentioned merits of this hydrogel, it is believed that the injectable gelatin/metal/tea polyphenol double nanonetworks have broad biomedical potential, especially in diabetic wound repair and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Ubiquitous antibiotics threaten human health and ecosystem sustainability, and existing removal strategies, especially conventional multistep water treatments, are primarily limited by the antibiotic-specific removal capability. Here, we explore the natural biomass, plant polyphenols, in the capture of various antibiotics with a facile treatment─polyphenol-mediated antibiotic-independent supramolecular coagulation (PMAC). The PMAC shows a superior performance in removing five tetracyclines and quinolones (up to 98.54%), even under complex environmental parameters, including different pH, the presence of inorganic particles and ionic strength, and the presence of conventional colloid-associated contaminants. Our mechanistic studies suggested that PMAC is capable of exerting multiple molecular interactions with various antibiotics, and the coordination-driven self-assembly further destabilizes the phenolic-antibiotic nanocomplexes, enabling an antibiotic-independent coagulation. Collectively, the combination of efficient remediation with inexpensive biomass suggests a simple and scalable method for the sustainable removal of antibiotics. Our strategy shows great promise as a cost-effective, facile approach to eliminate antibiotics capable of being integrated into the currently existing water treatment systems.

Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a global health threat by causing persistent and recurrent microbial infections. To address this issue, antimicrobial nanoparticles (NPs) with low drug resistance but potent bactericidal effects have been developed. However, many of the developed NPs display poor biosafety and their synthesis often involves complex procedures and the antimicrobial modes of action are unclear. Herein, a simple strategy is reported for designing antimicrobial metal-phenolic network (am-MPN) NPs through the one-step assembly of a seeding agent (diethyldithiocarbamate), natural polyphenols, and metal ions (e.g., Cu2+ ) in aqueous solution. The Cu2+ -based am-MPN NPs display lower Cu2+ antimicrobial concentrations (by 10-1000 times) lower than most reported nanomaterials and negligible toxicity across various models, including, cells, blood, zebrafish, and mice. Multiple antimicrobial modes of the NPs have been identified, including bacterial wall disruption, reactive oxygen species production, and quinoprotein formation, with the latter being a distinct pathway identified for the antimicrobial activity of the polyphenol-based am-MPN NPs. The NPs exhibit excellent performance against multidrug-resistant bacteria (e.g., methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)), efficiently inhibit and destroy bacterial biofilms, and promote the healing of MRSA-infected skin wounds. This study provides insights on the antimicrobial properties of metal-phenolic materials and the rational design of antimicrobial metal-organic materials.

[PMID: 38397765 PMCID: PMC10885897 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13020167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aims to enhance gelatin film performance in the food industry by incorporating polyphenol-titanium complexes (PTCs) as crosslinkers. PTCs introduce multiple linkages with gelatin, including coordination and hydrogen bonds, resulting in synergistic crosslinking effects. This leads to an increased hydrodynamic volume, particle size, and thermal stability of the gelatin films. Compared to films crosslinked solely by polyphenols or titanium, PTC-crosslinked gelatin films exhibit significant improvements. They show enhanced mechanical properties with a tensile strength that is 1.7 to 2.6 times higher than neat gelatin films. Moreover, these films effectively shield UV light (from 82% to 99%), providing better protection for light-sensitive food ingredients and preserving lutein content (from 74.2% to 78.1%) under light exposure. The incorporation of PTCs also improves film hydrophobicity, as indicated by water contact angles ranging from 115.3° to 131.9° and a water solubility ranging from 31.5% to 33.6%. Additionally, PTC-enhanced films demonstrate a superior antioxidant ability, with a prolonged polyphenol release (up to 18 days in immersed water) and a higher free radical scavenging ability (from 22% to 25.2%). Overall, the improved characteristics of gelatin films enabled by PTCs enhance their performance, making them suitable for various food packaging applications.

Abstract
Phenol-amine coatings have attracted significant attention in recent years owing to their adjustable composition and multifaceted biological functionalities. The current preparation of phenol-amine coatings, however, involves a chemical reaction within the solution or interface, resulting in lengthy preparation times and necessitating specific reaction conditions, such as alkaline environments and oxygen presence. The facile, rapid, and eco-friendly preparation of phenol-amine coatings under mild conditions continues to pose a challenge. In this study, we use a macromolecular phenol-amine, Tanfloc, to form a stable colloid under neutral conditions, which was then rapidly adsorbed on the titanium surface by electrostatic action and then spread and fused to form a continuous coating within several minutes. This nonchemical preparation process was rapid, mild, and free of chemical additives. The in vitro and in vivo results showed that the Tanfloc colloid fusion coating inhibited destructive inflammation, promoted osteogenesis, and enhanced osteointegration. These remarkable advantages of the colloidal phenol-amine fusion coating highlight the suitability of its future application in clinical practice.

Abstract
Synthetic cell exoskeletons created from abiotic materials have attracted interest in materials science and biotechnology, as they can regulate cell behavior and create new functionalities. Here, a facile strategy is reported to mimic microalgal sporulation with on-demand germination and locomotion via responsive metal-phenolic networks (MPNs). Specifically, MPNs with tunable thickness and composition are deposited on the surface of microalgae cells via one-step coordination, without any loss of cell viability or intrinsic cell photosynthetic properties. The MPN coating keeps the cells in a dormant state, but can be disassembled on-demand in response to environmental pH or chemical stimulus, thereby reviving the microalgae within 1 min. Moreover, the artificial sporulation of microalgae resulted in resistance to environmental stresses (e.g., metal ions and antibiotics) akin to the function of natural sporulation. This strategy can regulate the life cycle of complex cells, providing a synthetic strategy for designing hybrid microorganisms.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wounds represent the most common diabetes complication. Wound healing depends on scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), neovascularization, and controlling infection. A naturally derived gelatin-based hydrogel is biocompatible, biodegradable, does not promote inflammation, and can remove ROS, but strategies for developing a gelatin-based hydrogel currently require careful chemical modification of gelatin and time-consuming purification and post-crosslinking processing. Herein, a facile method of combining zirconium (Zr4+), gelatin, and quercetin (QCN) to generate an injectable gelatin-based hydrogel (QCN@Gel-Zr) for diabetic wound treatment was presented. Adding QCN improved the mechanical, injection, and adhesive performance of the Gel-Zr hydrogel and conferred antibacterial and free radical-scavenging abilities. These properties induced cellular proliferation and migration, protection against oxidative stress, and reduction in inflammatory expression. In vivo models of acute and chronic diabetic skin wounds were used to demonstrate biocompatibility and the ability of the gelatin hydrogels to promote wound healing. The histological analysis showed that the QCN@Gel-Zr hydrogel promoted angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and hair follicle regeneration with no detectable cytotoxicity. This study demonstrates the preparation of gelatin-based hydrogel with various flexible functions to address the complex biological requirements of diabetic wound repair.

Abstract
The imitation of mussels and oysters to create high-performance adhesives is a cutting-edge field. The introduction of inorganic fillers is shown to significantly alter the adhesive's properties, yet the potential of mesoporous materials as fillers in adhesives is overlooked. In this study, the first report on the utilization of mesoporous materials in a biomimetic adhesive system is presented. Incorporating mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) profoundly enhances the adhesion of pyrogallol (PG)-polyethylene imine (PEI) adhesive. As the MSN concentration increases, the adhesion strength to glass substrates undergoes an impressive fivefold improvement, reaching an outstanding 2.5 mPa. The adhesive forms an exceptionally strong bond, to the extent that the glass substrate fractures before joint failure. The comprehensive tests involving various polyphenols, polymers, and fillers reveal an intriguing phenomenon-the molecular structure of polyphenols significantly influences adhesive strength. Steric hindrance emerges as a crucial factor, regulating the balance between π-cation and charge interactions, which significantly impacts the multicomponent assembly of polyphenol-PEI-MSN and, consequently, adhesive strength. This groundbreaking research opens new avenues for the development of novel biomimetic materials.

Abstract
Spent coffee grounds (SCGs) have numerous applications and are often blended with polymers to create composites. However, SCGs are physically trapped within the polymer matrix, lacking strong chemical bonding. Therefore, this study has developed a new method for UV crosslinking composites using phenyl azide to address the issue of SCG leakage and limited durability of the composites. The main approach involves grafting phenyl azide onto chitosan, which is then combined with SCGs. When exposed to UV light, the SCGs become covalently linked to the chitosan chains. This method not only resolves the problem of chitosan's porous material fragility but also prevents SCG detachment, surpassing the performance of glutaraldehyde-crosslinked composites. Regarding applications, CS/SCG composites exhibit rapid heating and photothermal stability, making them suitable for use as thermal pads in evaporative water purification, enabling for the collection of pure water from contaminated sources. Furthermore, SCGs have the ability to adsorb metal ions, significantly enhancing the Cu2+ adsorption capacity of CS/SCG composites compared to pure CS, with an increase of more than twofold. This research not only presents a practical solution for stabilizing fillers within polymer matrices but also demonstrates the reusability of SCGs.

Abstract
The transfusion of donor red blood cells (RBCs) is seriously hampered by important drawbacks that include limited availability and portability, the requirement of being stored in refrigerated conditions, a short shelf life or the need for RBC group typing and crossmatching. Thus, hemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen (O2) carriers (HBOCs) which make use of the main component of RBCs and the responsible protein for O2 transport, hold a lot of promise in modern transfusion and emergency medicine. Despite the great progress achieved, it is still difficult to create HBOCs with a high Hb content to attain the high O2 demands of our body. Herein a metal-phenolic self-assembly approach that can be conducted in water and in one step to prepare nanoparticles (NPs) fully made of Hb (Hb-NPs) is presented. In particular, by combining Hb with polyethylene glycol, tannic acid (TA) and manganese ions, spherical Hb-NPs with a uniform size around 350-525 nm are obtained. The functionality of the Hb-NPs is preserved as shown by their ability to bind and release O2 over multiple rounds. The binding mechanism of TA and Hb is thoroughly investigated by UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The binding site number, apparent binding constant at two different temperatures and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters are identified. The results demonstrate that the TA-Hb interaction takes place through a static mechanism in a spontaneous process as shown by the decrease in Gibbs free energy. The associated increase in entropy suggests that the TA-Hb binding is dominated by hydrophobic interactions.

Abstract
Silver (Ag) undergoes a complex and dynamic Ag+/Ag0 cycle under environmental conditions. The Ag+ → Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) transformation due to the combined actions of sunlight, O2, and dissolved organic matter has been a well-known environmental phenomenon. In this study, we indicate that this process may be accompanied by a pronounced accumulation of Ag(0) single atoms (Ag-SAs) on the minerals' surfaces. According to spherical aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and high-energy-resolution X-ray adsorption fine structure analyses, humic acid (HA) and phenol (PhOH) can induce Ag-SAs accumulation, whereas oxalic acid causes only AgNPs deposition. Ag-SAs account for more than 20 wt % of total Ag(0) on the γ-Al2O3 surfaces during HA- and PhOH-mediated photolysis processes. HA also causes Ag-SAs to accumulate on two other prevalent soil minerals, SiO2 and Fe2O3, and the fractions of Ag-SAs are about 15 wt %. Our mechanism studies suggest that a phenolic molecule acts as a reducing agent of Ag+ and a stabilizer of Ag-SAs, protecting Ag-SAs against autocatalytic nucleation.

Abstract
Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by excessive formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and dysregulated inflammatory response. Previous studies have reported that shikonin (Shik) possess prominent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and holds promise as a potential therapeutic drug for sepsis. However, the poor water solubility and the relatively high toxicity of shikonin hamper its clinical application. To address this challenge, we constructed Zn2+-shikonin nanoparticles, hereafter Zn-Shik-PEG NPs, based on an organic-inorganic hybridization strategy of metal-polyphenol coordination to improve the aqueous solubility and biosafety of shikonin. Mechanistic studies suggest that Zn-Shik-PEG NPs could effectively clear intracellular ROS via regulating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, meanwhile Zn-Shik-PEG NPs could inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated activation of inflammation and apoptosis by regulating the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway. As a result, the Zn-Shik-PEG NPs demonstrated excellent therapeutic efficacies in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as well as cecal ligation puncture (CLP) induced sepsis model. These findings suggest that Zn-Shik-PEG NPs may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of other ROS-associated and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Bone defects have a severe impact on the health and lives of patients due to their long-lasting and difficult-to-treat features. Recent studies have shown that there are complex microenvironments, including excessive production of reactive oxygen species. Herein, a surface functionalization strategy using metal-polyphenolic networks was used, which was found to be beneficial in restoring oxidative balance and enhancing osseointegration. The surface properties, biocompatibility, intracellular ROS scavenging, and osseointegration capacity were evaluated, and the therapeutic effects were confirmed using a skull defect model. This approach has great potential to improve complex microenvironments and enhance the efficiency of bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds are ubiquitous in nature because of their unique physical and chemical properties and wide applications, which have received extensive research attention. Phenolic compounds represented by tannic acid (TA) play an important role at the nanoscale. TA with a polyphenol hydroxyl structure can chemically react with organic or inorganic materials, among which metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) formed by coordination with metal ions and polyphenol derivatives formed by interactions with organic matter, exhibit specific properties and functions, and play key roles in photo(electro)catalysis. In this paper, we first introduce the fundamental properties of TA, then summarize the factors influencing the properties of MPNs and structural transformation of polyphenol-derived materials. Subsequently, the functions of MPNs and polyphenol derivatives in photo(electro)catalysis reactions are summarized, encompassing improving interfacial charge carrier separation, accelerating surface reaction kinetics, and enhancing light absorption. Finally, this article provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and outlook associated with MPNs. Additionally, it presents novel insights into their stability, mechanistic analysis, synthesis, and applications in photo(electro)catalysis.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has emerged as a promising strategy for tumor treatment. Nevertheless, the low Fenton catalytic efficiency and the high concentration of glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells largely decline antitumor efficacy of CDT. To self-augment antitumor effect of the CDT by combining with photothermal therapy (PTT), the unique photothermal nanozymes that doubly depleted GSH, and generated massive hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in the hyperthermia/acidity-activated manner were developed. Through the coordination of Fe3+ ions with PEGylated chitosan (PEG-CS)-modified polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles, the attained Fe3+@PEG-CS/PDA nanozymes showed outstanding colloidal stability, photothermal conversion efficiency and acidity-triggered Fe3+ release. By GSH-mediated valence states transition of Fe3+ ions and Michael reaction between GSH and quinone-rich PDA, the nanozymes sufficiently executed dual depletion of GSH with the elevated temperature.Under mimic tumor acidity and near-infrared (NIR) irradiation condition, the endocytosed nanozymes effectively converted intracellular H2O2 into toxic ·OH upon amplified Fenton reaction, thereby potently killing 4T1 cancer cells and RAW 264.7 cells. Importantly, the nanozymes prominently suppressed 4T1 tumor growth in vivo and metastasis of cancer cells by CDT/PTT combination therapy without significant systemic toxicity. Our study provides novel visions in design of therapeutic nanozymes with great clinical translational prospect for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) can lead to iron overloading and subsequent neuronal ferroptosis, which hinders the recovery of locomotor function. However, it is still unclear whether the maintenance of neuronal iron homeostasis enables to revitalize intrinsic neurogenesis. Herein, we report the regulation of cellular iron homeostasis after SCI via the chelation of excess iron ions and modulation of the iron transportation pathway using polyphenol-based hydrogels for the revitalization of intrinsic neurogenesis. The reversed iron overloading can promote neural stem/progenitor cell differentiation into neurons and elicit the regenerative potential of newborn neurons, which is accompanied by improved axon reinnervation and remyelination. Notably, polyphenol-based hydrogels significantly increase the neurological motor scores from ~8 to 18 (out of 21) and restore the transmission of sensory and motor electrophysiological signals after SCI. Maintenance of iron homeostasis at the site of SCI using polyphenol-based hydrogels provides a promising paradigm to revitalize neurogenesis for the treatment of iron accumulation-related nervous system diseases.

Abstract
Protocells have garnered considerable attention from cell biologists, materials scientists, and synthetic biologists. Phase-separating coacervate microdroplets have emerged as a promising cytomimetic model because they can internalize and concentrate components from dilute surrounding environments. However, the membrane-free nature of such coacervates leads to coalescence into a bulk phase, a phenomenon that is not representative of the cells they are designed to mimic. Herein, we develop a membranized peptide coacervate (PC) with oppositely charged oligopeptides as the molecularly crowded cytosol and a metal-phenolic network (MPN) coating as the membrane. The hybrid protocell efficiently internalizes various bioactive macromolecules (e.g., bovine serum albumin and immunoglobulin G) (>90%) while also resisting radicals due to the semipermeable cytoprotective membrane. Notably, the resultant PC@MPNs are capable of anabolic cascade reactions and remain in discrete protocellular populations without coalescence. Finally, we demonstrate that the MPN protocell membrane can be postfunctionalized with various functional molecules (e.g., folic acid and fluorescence dye) to more closely resemble actual cells with complex membranes, such as recognition molecules, which allows for drug delivery. This membrane-bound cytosolic protocell structure paves the way for innovative synthetic cells with structural and functional complexity.

Abstract
Room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials have enormous potential in many different areas. Additionally, the conversion of natural resources to RTP materials has attracted considerable attention. Owing to their inherent luminescent properties, natural materials can be efficiently converted into sustainable RTP materials. However, to date, only a few reviews have focused on this area of endeavour. Motivated by this lack of coverage, in this Review, we address this shortcoming and introduce the types of natural resource available for the preparation of RTP materials. We mainly focus on the inherent advantages of natural resources for RTP materials, strategies for activating and enhancing the RTP properties of the natural resources as well as the potential applications of these RTP materials. In addition, we discuss future challenges and opportunities in this area of research.
