Injectable hyaluronic acid hydrogels encapsulating drug nanocrystals for long-term treatment of inflammatory arthritis

Yongsheng Gao, Douglas Vogus, Zongmin Zhao, Wei He, Vinu Krishnan, Jayoung Kim, Yujie Shi, Apoorva Sarode, Anvay Ukidve, Samir Mitragotri

Summary: Antiproliferative chemotherapeutic agents show promise for treating inflammatory arthritis, but face limitations in clinical application due to high systemic toxicity and low joint bioavailability. A new intra-articular drug delivery system combining hyaluronic acid hydrogels and drug nanocrystals offers a potential solution for localized and sustained delivery of camptothecin, with positive results shown in rat models of collagen-induced arthritis.

Stretchable Electronic Facial Masks for Sonophoresis

Shuang Li, Jingwen Xu, Rui Li, Yongkang Wang, Maoyi Zhang, Jie Li, Shizhen Yin, Guodong Liu, Lijuan Zhang, Baoqiang Li, Qi Gu, Yewang Su

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.

Carbon dots with tailor-made chelating ligands for specific metal ions recognition: Target synthesis and prediction of metal ions selectivity

Jiaxin Dong, Baoqiang Li, Jin Xiao, Guanxiong Liu, Vladimir Baulin, Yujie Feng, Dechang Jia, Aslan Yu Tsivadze, Yu Zhou

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.
