Abstract
The pioneering work on liposomes in the 1960s and subsequent research in controlled drug release systems significantly advances the development of nanocarriers (NCs) for drug delivery. This field is evolved to include a diverse array of nanocarriers such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, and more, each tailored to specific therapeutic applications. Despite significant achievements, the clinical translation of nanocarriers is limited, primarily due to the low efficiency of drug delivery and an incomplete understanding of nanocarrier interactions with biological systems. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary collaboration and a deep understanding of the nano-bio interface. To enhance nanocarrier design, scientists employ both physics-based and data-driven models. Physics-based models provide detailed insights into chemical reactions and interactions at atomic and molecular scales, while data-driven models leverage machine learning to analyze large datasets and uncover hidden mechanisms. The integration of these models presents challenges such as harmonizing different modeling approaches and ensuring model validation and generalization across biological systems. However, this integration is crucial for developing effective and targeted nanocarrier systems. By integrating these approaches with enhanced data infrastructure, explainable AI, computational advances, and machine learning potentials, researchers can develop innovative nanomedicine solutions, ultimately improving therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
Low solubility and chemical instability are the main problems with insoluble bioactives. Lignin, with its exceptional biological properties and amphiphilicity, holds promise as a delivery system material. In this study, glycerol esters were incorporated into alkali lignin (AL) through ether and ester bonds, resulting in the successful synthesis of three hydrophobically modified alkali lignins (AL-OA, AL-OGL, and AL-SAN-OGL). Subsequently, lignin composite nanoparticles (LNPs@BC) encapsulating β-carotene were prepared using antisolvent and sonication techniques. The encapsulation rates were determined to be 37.69 ± 2.21%, 84.01 ± 5.55%, 83.82 ± 5.23%, and 83.11 ± 5.85% for LNP@BC-1, LNP@BC-2, LNP@BC-3, and LNP@BC-4, respectively, with AL, AL-OA, AL-OGL, and AL-SAN-OGL serving as the wall materials under optimized preparation conditions. The antioxidant properties and UV-absorbing capacity of the four lignins were characterized, demonstrating their efficacy in enhancing the oxygen and photostability of β-carotene. Following 6 h of UV irradiation, LNP@BC-4 exhibited a retention rate of 83.03 ± 2.85% for β-carotene, while storage under light-protected conditions at 25 °C for 7 days retained 73.33 ± 7.62% of β-carotene. Furthermore, the encapsulated β-carotene demonstrated enhanced thermal and storage stability. In vitro release experiments revealed superior stability of LNPs@BC in simulated gastric fluid (SGF), with β-carotene retention exceeding 77% in both LNP@BC-3 and LNP@BC-4. LNP@BC-4 exhibited the highest bioaccessibility in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) at 46.96 ± 0.80%, that LNP@BC-1 only achieved 10.87 ± 0.90%. The enzymatic responsiveness of AL-OGL and AL-SAN-OGL was confirmed. Moreover, LNPs@BC exhibited no cytotoxicity toward L929 cells and demonstrated excellent hemocompatibility. In summary, this study introduces a novel enzyme-responsive modified lignin that has promising applications in the fields of food, biomedicine, and animal feed.

Abstract
Clinical solutions of bone defects caused by periodontitis involve surgical treatment and subsequent anti-infection treatment using antibiotics. Such a strategy faces a key challenge in that the excessive host immune response results in the damage of periodontal tissues. Consequently, it is of great importance to develop novel periodontitis treatment that allows the regulation of the host immune response and promotes the generation of periodontal tissues. Irisin has a good bone regeneration ability and could reduce the inflammatory reaction by regulating the differentiation of macrophages. In this study, we loaded irisin onto bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGNs) to prepare a composite, irisin-BGNs (IR-BGNs) with anti-inflammatory, bacteriostatic, and tissue regeneration functions, providing a novel idea for the design of ideal materials for repairing oral tissue defects caused by periodontitis. We also verified that the IR-BGNs had better anti-inflammatory properties on RAW264.7 cells compared to irisin and BGNs alone. Strikingly, when hPDLCs were stimulated with IR-BGNs, they exhibited increased expression of markers linked to osteogenesis, ALP activity, and mineralization ability in comparison to the negative control. Furthermore, on the basis of RNA sequencing results, we validated that the p38 pathway can contribute to the osteogenic differentiation of the IR-BGNs. This work may offer new thoughts on the design of ideal materials for repairing oral tissue defects.

Abstract
The investigations of protein adsorption and release on interfaces aid in the elucidation of the protein-surface interaction mechanism, which has several applications in the biomedical area. The spectro-kinetic and morphological analysis of the release of lysozyme (Lyz) from chitosan/polystyrene sulphonate (CHI/PSS) multilayer immobilized at pHs 10.6, 8.8 and 5.0 shows that the extent of release strongly depends on the pH of Lyz loading and the ionic strength of the desorbing solution. When compared to pH 8.8, the release for pH 10.6 achieves equilibrium more rapidly. At loading pH 10.6, the release is surface-mediated, at pH 8.8, it is both surface- and bulk-mediated, while at pH 5.0 it is bulk mediated with minimal release. Lyz released for loading pH 10.6 retains its native secondary structure. Kinetic fitting suggests that high loading pH 8.8-10.6 and high release ionic strength (0.5-1.0 M NaCl) lead to burst release of Lyz from CHI/PSS multilayer. Surface morphology changes of multilayer interface upon Lyz loading and release are highlighted by SEM topography and AFM height distribution analysis. The present work indicates that CHI/PSS multilayer system can function as a reservoir for burst as well as controlled release of lysozyme by selecting the loading pH and ionic strength.
