Summary: ROS play a vital role in physiological and pathological processes, and research on regulating ROS for disease treatments has gained wide attention. Advances in nanotechnology have led to the development of numerous nanomaterials with the ability to regulate ROS, aiming to find new and effective ROS-related nanotherapeutic modalities. Despite significant progress in ROS-based nanomedicines, there is a need to address fundamental principles for designing ROS-associated nanomedicines to minimize gaps in biomedical applications. This review summarizes current progress in ROS-associated nanomedicines in disease treatments and presents key principles for their design. Future perspectives in the development of ROS-associated nanomedicines are also discussed.

Summary: The field of oxygen free radicals, antioxidants, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) has seen significant growth, with ROS playing important roles in living organisms. However, many studies lack mechanistic meaning. Detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms of ROS and appropriate measurement methods for both ROS and oxidative damage are necessary for progress.

Summary: Hyaluronan (HA) is a natural compound that is found on the cell surface and tissue extracellular matrix. It is synthesized by enzymes and degraded by other substances. HA has different effects on the body depending on its molecular weight, with high molecular weight HA being anti-inflammatory and low molecular weight HA being pro-inflammatory. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can degrade HA and affect vascular integrity, while HA can also play a role in wound healing. Understanding the interactions between ROS and HA is an important research topic.

Summary: Expenditure isolation of lignin and the understanding of its structural variations during different isolation processes are crucial for the high-value utilization of lignin. This study proposed a green deep eutectic solvent (DES) consisting of choline chloride, ethylene glycol, and 4-chlorobenzene sulfonic acid for rapid lignin separation from poplar. The structural variations of DES lignin and its relationship with alkali pre-extraction of hemicellulose were investigated. The results showed that alkali pretreatment enhanced the DES separation of lignin and promoted the cleavage of specific linkages, resulting in reduced molecular weight and thermal stability of isolated DES lignin. Moreover, DES lignin obtained from integrated utilization displayed higher purity and S/G ratio compared to lignin obtained from direct DES treatment.

Summary: In this study, hollow and solid lignin nanoparticles were synthesized through self-assembly and their application in PVA nanocomposite films was investigated. The results showed that the presence of hollow lignin nanoparticles in the films resulted in a room-like network structure, while the solid lignin nanoparticles induced different structural changes. The inclusion of LNPs improved the mechanical properties of the films, and both types of LNPs exhibited good hydrophobicity.

Summary: This study explored the formation mechanism of agarwood induced by fungus and its potential application in high-quality and high-yielding agarwood production. The results showed that the transition layer played a critical role in the continuous accumulation of agarwood, and the parenchyma cells of the xylem rays and interxylary phloem were the main action site of fungus. The accumulation and distribution of chemical composition in different layers were also investigated. The study identified the drivers of specific compounds and provided a theoretical foundation for future agarwood production.
