Summary: We present a stretchable electronic facial mask (SEFM) as a platform for facial healthcare, capable of integrating various sensors and actuators. A specific SEFM for sonophoresis is developed to enhance the delivery effect of a drug mask. Various approaches, including the design of a joined silicone layer and the single-side soft pressing (SSSP) technique, are employed to overcome technical challenges and can be extended to the design and fabrication of other stretchable electronics. The mechanical, thermal, electrical, and ultrasonic characteristics of the SEFM are validated through finite element analysis and experiments. Results from animal and human facial experiments demonstrate the SEFM's ability to accelerate drug delivery and increase skin moisture content.

Summary: Carbon dots (CDs) have wide applications in metal ion recognition and detection, promising in environmental monitoring and biomedical science. However, due to the presence of multiple functional groups with different affinities, the prediction of recognized metal ions is limited. In this study, CDs with different chelating ligands were synthesized, and specific recognition of Fe3+ and Cu2+ was achieved. Exponential type functions were established to predict the specific recognition of metal ions. This study proposes a new strategy for specific recognition of heavy metal ions using tailor-made CDs with chelating ligands.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of NaOCl dose and solution pH on the properties of PVDF ultrafiltration membranes. The results showed that membrane pores increased with exposure time prolonging, and more pores were observed at pH 8 aging condition. Different chemical groups were formed under different pH conditions. The hydrophilicity and pure water permeability of the membranes had slight changes during NaOCl aging process. The antifouling properties of some membranes were slightly improved, while others showed severer flux decline with humic acid filtration.

Summary: Controlled drug delivery systems that can respond to mechanical force offer a unique solution for on-demand drug activation and release. Among various mechanical stimuli, ultrasound (US) has advantages in achieving spatiotemporally controlled drug release. Traditional US-triggered drug release relies on heat-induced phase transitions or chemical transformations, while the cutting-edge approach of Sonopharmacology leverages polymer mechanochemistry. The remaining challenges and potential future directions in this field are also discussed.

Summary: Coacervate droplets formed through liquid-liquid phase separation have potential as delivery vesicles for therapeutics. However, their lack of physiological stability and membranes are challenges. In this study, polylysine-polynucleotide complex coacervate droplets with favorable stability were formulated to concentrate molecules and nanoparticles. Phospholipid membranes were further coated on the droplets to create coacervate-based artificial protocells (ArtPC) with membrane-like structures. These biofunctional ArtPC effectively reduced blood uric acid levels and prevented renal injuries.
