Advantages and disadvantages of various hydrogel scaffold types: A research to improve the clinical conversion rate of loaded MSCs-Exos hydrogel scaffolds. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 179:117386. [PMID: 39241570 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.117386] [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: 06/25/2024] [Revised: 08/20/2024] [Accepted: 08/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes(MSCs-Exos) offer promising therapeutic potential for a wide range of tissues and organs such as bone/cartilage, nerves, skin, fat, and endocrine organs. In comparison to the application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), MSCs-Exos address critical challenges related to rejection reactions and ethical concerns, positioning themselves as a promising cell-free therapy. As exosomes are extracellular vesicles, their effective delivery necessitates the use of carriers. Consequently, the selection of hydrogel materials as scaffolds for exosome delivery has become a focal point of contemporary research. The diversity of hydrogel scaffolds, which can take various forms such as injectable types, dressings, microneedles, and capsules, leads to differing choices among researchers for treating diseases within the same domain. This variability in hydrogel materials poses challenges for the translation of findings into clinical practice. The review highlights the potential of hydrogel-loaded exosomes in different fields and introduces the advantages and disadvantages of different forms of hydrogel applications. It aims to provide a multifunctional and highly recognized hydrogel scaffold option for tissue regeneration at specific sites, improve clinical translation efficiency, and benefit the majority of patients.

Natural medicines-derived carbon dots as novel oral antioxidant administration strategy for ulcerative colitis therapy. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:511. [PMID: 39187876 PMCID: PMC11348712 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02702-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic intestinal inflammation, resulting in a global healthcare challenge with no real specific medicine. Natural medicines are recognized as a potential clinical alternative therapy, but their applications are limited by poor solubility and low bioavailability. RESULTS In this work, inspired by the natural medicines of ancient China, novel functional carbon dots derived from Magnetite and Medicated Leaven (MML-CDs) were synthesized by hydrothermal method, and confirmed their ultrasmall nano-size (3.2 ± 0.6 nm) and Fe doped surface structure, thereby with excellent gastrointestinal stability, remarkable capabilities in eliminating ROS, and highly biocompatibility. With no external stimuli, the oral administration of MML-CDs demonstrated obvious alleviation to UC. Further experiments pointed that MML-CDs could improve hemostasis capability, suppress inflammation reactions and oxidative stress, and up-regulate the expression of tight junction proteins. Furthermore, MML-CDs also showed well regulation in the dysbiosis of intestinal flora. CONCLUSION Overall, above evidence reveals that green-synthesized MML-CDs can significantly alleviate intestinal bleeding, inhibit colon inflammation, and repair colonic barrier damage, further regulating intestinal flora and intestinal inflammation microenvironment. Our findings provide an efficient oral administration of MML-CDs as a novel therapy strategy for ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
Compared to nanozymes with single enzyme activity, those with multiple enzyme activities possess broader application potential due to their diversified enzymatic functionalities. However, the multienzyme nanozymes currently face challenges of interference among different enzymatic activities during practical applications. In this study, we report the synthesis of a light-responsive YbGd-carbon quantum dots nano-hybrid, termed YbGd-CDs, which exhibits controllable enzyme-mimicking activities. This light-responsive behavior enables selective control of the enzymatic activities. Under visible light irradiation, YbGd-CDs demonstrate robust oxidase-like activity. Conversely, under dark conditions, they primarily exhibit peroxidase-like activity. Leveraging the dual-enzyme-mimicking capabilities of YbGd-CDs, we developed colorimetric assays for sensitive detection of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in both normal and cancer cells as well as d-amino acids in human saliva. This study not only advances the synthesis of carbon-based nanozymes but also highlights their potential in biosensing applications.

Various types of nanoparticles (NPs) play significant roles, serving as vaccine vehicles to enhance immunogenicity and as drug carriers to improve targeting and bioavailability. NPs can also directly combat pathogens and inflammation. In addition, nanotechnology has facilitated the development of biosensors for pathogen detection and imaging techniques for inflammatory diseases. This review categorizes and characterizes different types of NPs, summarizes their applications in the prevention, treatment, and detection of infectious and inflammatory diseases. It also discusses the challenges associated with clinical translation in this field and explores the latest developments and prospects. In conclusion, nanotechnology opens up new possibilities for the comprehensive management of infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
The development of hybrid composite antibacterial agents for wound dressing has garnered significant attention due to their remarkable antibacterial efficacy and their potential to mitigate microbial resistance. In this study, we present an approach to designing and fabricating wound dressing membranes, utilizing molybdenum oxide-polyacrylonitrile (MoO3/PAN) hybrid composites through electrospinning. Subsequently, we enhanced the membrane's effectiveness by introducing silver (Ag@MoO3/PAN) into the matrix via a rapid (within one min) green synthesis method under UV irradiation. Initially, we discuss the morphological characteristics and structural attributes of the resulting membranes. Subsequent investigations explore the antibacterial mechanisms of both MoO3 and Ag+, revealing that the incorporation of silver substantially enhanced antibacterial activity. Additionally, we elucidate the surface properties, noting that the introduction of silver increases the surface area of the composite membrane by 25.89% compared with the pristine MoO3/PAN membrane. Furthermore, we observe a 9% reduction in the water contact angle (WCA) for the Ag@MoO3/PAN membrane, indicating improved hydrophilicity. Finally, we analyze the release behavior of the Ag@MoO3/PAN membrane. Our findings demonstrate an initial burst release within the first 7 h, followed by a controlled and sustained release pattern over a period of 7 days.
