Summary: In order to tackle the issue of fragrance volatility, researchers conjugated benzaldehyde and heptanal with a monomer via a hydrazone linkage, and then reacted the functional monomers with urethane acrylate through photopolymerization to produce thin polymer coatings. The release of fragrances was measured using UV-visible spectroscopy and headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques, indicating sustained release in artificial sweat due to the slow hydrolysis kinetics of the hydrazone linkage. This simple strategy can be applied to rapidly prepare coatings on wet human skin in labeling applications.

Summary: In this study, iron oxide nanocubes (IONCs) functionalized with a multifunctional polymer ligand were prepared using a simple and scalable two-step ligand exchange reaction. The polymer ligand contained catechol groups, furfuryl pendants, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) side chains, which provided strong binding to the IONCs surface, colloidal stability, and the ability to click molecules of interest. The resulting IONCs, coated with a fluorescein/doxorubicin-conjugated polymer ligand, exhibited good colloidal stability and outstanding heating performance in clinical use conditions. The release of bioactive molecules could be enhanced under these conditions, and the magnetic hyperthermia-mediated release showed no macroscopical temperature change and had a dose-independent effect.

Summary: Proteolytic activity plays a crucial role in cell homeostasis and function, with implications in cancer progression and treatment response. Endosomes, which are often the final destination of internalized nanoparticles, are major sites of cellular proteolytic activity. However, little is known about the impact of nanoparticles on endosomal biology. In this study, we generated albumin nanoparticles with varying resistance to proteolysis and demonstrated a relationship between their sensitivity to proteases and drug delivery properties, irrespective of the degree of proteolytic degradation.

Summary: Recently, biodegradable polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules have been proposed for targeted drug delivery of anticancer drugs. In this study, the researchers aimed to develop PMC loaded with a subtoxic concentration of doxorubicin (DOX) and functionalized with the tumor-specific DR5-B ligand to achieve a combined antitumor effect. The effects of PMC surface modification with the DR5-B ligand on cell uptake were studied in both 2D monolayer cultures and 3D tumor spheroids. The results showed that the DR5-B-modified capsules loaded with DOX exhibited enhanced cytotoxicity in both in vitro models, suggesting their potential as a targeted drug delivery system.

Summary: In this study, a highly effective surfactant producer strain, Bacillus Cereus GX7, was isolated from the oil tank bottom sludge of Shengli Oil Field in China. The biosurfactant produced by GX7 was identified as surfactin, a lipopeptide surfactant, through TLC, FT-IR, and LC-MS/MS analysis. The fermentation process of GX7 was optimized using single-factor experiments, focusing on the composition of fermentation medium and fermentation conditions. Glucose and peptone were found to be the best carbon and nitrogen sources, and the optimum temperature, inoculum amount, pH, rotation speed, and fermentation time for the strain were determined to be 30°C, 1%, 7.5, 150 rpm, and 48 h, respectively. After optimization, the surface tension and emulsification index of the fermentation broth were 26.84 mN/m and 57.84%, respectively. Furthermore, the biosurfactant produced by GX7 demonstrated good stability over a wide range of temperature, pH, and salt concentration.

Summary: Effective management of biofluids is crucial for in vivo surgical interventions. Recent advances include self-sealing needles, drug-eluting stents, and shear-thinning hydrogels. However, complications associated with intestinal mucosal injury and secondary damage still persist. In this study, researchers developed an interpenetrating Janus wettability stent coating that enables unidirectional draining of excessive biofluid. They also demonstrated directional biofluid movement using a self-pumping dressing with potential applications in biofluid collection and disease diagnosis through metal ion detection. This integrated system presents an opportunity for designing wound dressings with effective biofluid management and metal ion detection capabilities.
