Summary: Restoring bone homeostasis is crucial for osteoporosis treatment. Short peptides with biological activity have gained attention, but their application is limited due to the lack of a stable and targeted delivery system. This study proposes a novel delivery system using AL-PLGA@P NPs to deliver osteogenic peptides, which has the ability to target bone and regulate bone homeostasis, providing advantages in osteoporosis treatment.

Summary: Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) is a widely used antitumor drug, but its off-target toxicity limits its administration. Nanoparticles made of wheat gliadin and polyoxyethylene (2) oleyl ether were investigated as carriers for DOX. These nanoparticles showed great stability, retained high amounts of drug, and exhibited prolonged and sustained release. The encapsulation of DOX modulated its cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells compared to the free form of the drug, demonstrating the potential use of these nanoparticles as carriers for hydrophilic antitumor compounds.

Summary: Bioorthogonal chemistry involves selective biocompatible reactions between functional groups that are not normally present in biology. It has been used to probe biomolecules in living systems, and has advanced biomedical strategies such as diagnostics and therapeutics. This review discusses challenges and opportunities in translating in vitro bioorthogonal approaches to in vivo settings, focusing on methods to deliver the bioorthogonal reaction components, and critically appraises the suitability of these reactions for in vivo applications.

Summary: There is a high demand for new fluorescent systems in photocatalysis, sensors, labeling, etc. Amphiphilic systems are particularly interesting as they can form functional colloidal systems in water. In this study, a new macrocycle platform for click chemistry was synthesized and characterized, along with its adduct with o-propargylfluorescein. Solid lipid nanoparticles were successfully synthesized from the adduct and showed promising fluorescence properties in a certain pH range. The synthesized nanoparticles were also tested in a photocatalytic reaction with good results.

Summary: The synergy between directed chemotherapy and thermal therapy utilizing a nanoassembly composed of functionalized biomimetic magnetic nanoparticles (BMNPs) was explored in this study. Results demonstrated that this nanoassembly, capable of mediating drug transport and hyperthermic effects, showed a stronger cytotoxic effect against tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo compared to traditional therapies.

Summary: PEG-coated PLGA nanoparticles are used for cancer treatment due to their biocompatibility, nonimmunogenicity, and ability to accumulate in tumor sites. In this study, HA-PEG-PLGA NPs were tested on a mouse model of breast cancer metastasis and showed significant inhibition of tumor growth and less metastasis compared to control and Free DOX groups. Further studies on pharmacokinetics and toxicity are needed before clinical research.

Summary: This study evaluates the effects of melatonin on ROS and the innate immune response system in OA chondrocytes and the therapeutic effect in vivo, and proposes a new approach for treating osteoarthritis using a melatonin-loaded nano-delivery system. The results show that melatonin improves cartilage matrix metabolism and delays the progression of OA by inhibiting the TLR2/4-MyD88-NFκB signal pathway and scavenging ROS. The melatonin-loaded nano-delivery system can accumulate in cartilage, reduce the number of intra-articular injections, and improve the utilization rate of melatonin in vivo.

Summary: In this study, a click reaction catalyzed by on-resin Cu(I) was performed to synthesize triazole-stapled cyclic peptide mimetic, DOTA-c[TZ]A9, targeting HER2 receptor expression in breast cancers. Spectroscopic and docking analysis showed that the triazole-stapled peptide exhibited enhanced helicity, secondary structure stabilization, and improved HER2 affinity compared to the linear peptide, DOTA-[Pra1, Aza7]A9. Biodistribution studies in tumor-bearing mice demonstrated higher radioactivity levels and prolonged retention of the cyclic peptide in the tumor compared to the linear peptide.

Summary: Due to stem cells' ability to specifically target tumor environments, stem-cell-membrane-functionalized nanocarriers can be used for targeted delivery of active anticancer drugs. This study focuses on self-targeting pancreatic cancer cells using stem cells. By utilizing the targeting abilities of stem cells, nano-polylactide-co-glycolide loaded with doxorubicin can be encapsulated within stem cell membranes, leading to targeted reduction of deep pancreatic tumor tissues. This platform technology can be applied to malignant tumors lacking surface target receptors, such as pancreatic tumor cells.

Summary: This study developed a surrogate biomarker to predict liver fibrosis progression and evaluated the effectiveness of antifibrotic drugs. Results showed that a 20-gene surrogate biomarker could accurately predict fibrosis progression within 5 years. Furthermore, rational combination therapies based on epigallocatechin gallate were identified and validated for enhanced antifibrotic effect. This biomarker has potential clinical significance for the development of antifibrotics.
