Emerging multimodal therapy strategies based on sonodynamic therapy (SDT) are foreseen as foundational in forthcoming tumor theranostics. Nevertheless, the therapeutic effects of SDT are limited by the hypoxic environment of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Based on this, nano-enzymes are envisioned to decompose excess hydrogen peroxide in the tumor microenvironment to generate oxygen. Here, PEG-PLGA-coated CeO₂ nanoparticles loaded with the sonosensitizer chlorin e6 (CC@PP) were prepared for cancer therapy based on a nanoprecipitation method. CC@PP possesses highly efficient catalase-like (CAT) properties, which are able to decompose overexpressed H₂O₂ into O₂ and enhance the effect of O₂-dependent sonodynamic therapy. In addition, it can act as a peroxidase (POD) at lower pH for chemodynamic therapy. Under the guidance of the US, CC@PP can perform synergistic sonodynamic and chemodynamic cancer therapy and inhibit tumor growth efficiently, CC@PP is biocompatible, has good in vivo fluorescence imaging effect, and has integrated diagnostic and therapeutic properties, which can be effectively aggregated at the tumor area. In this study, the effect of sonodynamic therapy was enhanced by improving the hypoxic environment in the TME, and multimodal synergistic enhancement of cancer therapy was realized.

Wound infection represents a prevalent and pressing clinical challenge, resulting in delayed wound healing and severe complications. In this study, a novel wound dressing was fabricated through a combination of electrospinning and acid etching techniques. First, nanofibers were fabricated by blending electrospun polyacrylonitrile/Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PAN/PVP) polymers with copper-based metal organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs). Subsequently, tannic acid was employed to etch the surface sites of Cu-MOFs on the fibers. The obtained nanofibers exhibited a typical porous structure, superior water absorption and gas permeability, with the average water vapor transmission rate was 2170.6 gm^-2day^-1. Additionally, the release behavior of copper ions can be modulated by altering the mass ratio of PVP to PAN, the amount of Cu-MOFs and the use of tannic acid. In vitro antibacterial assays revealed that the antibacterial efficacy of nanofibers increased with the addition of Cu-MOFs, after 48 hours of treatment, the inhibition rates of the nanofibers against E. coli and S. aureus reached over 79.5 % and 90 %, respectively. In vivo experiments demonstrated that these nanofibers alleviated wound inflammation and promoted collagen and angiogenesis, exhibition superior anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects. The biosafety tests indicated that the nanofibers loaded with 1 % and 3 % Cu-MOFs exhibited good biocompatibility, while the nanofibers loaded with 5 % Cu-MOFs showed slight cytotoxicity. This study provides a novel strategy for the design and fabrication of advanced wound dressings in biomedical applications.

The rapid degradation rate of biodegradable magnesium alloys restricts their use in medical implants. Therefore, designing a protective coating with a slow degradation rate and good biocompatibility is crucial. For biodegradable magnesium alloy stents, it is equally important to enhance the material's corrosion resistance and ensure the coating's deformation adaptability to the stent. This study, utilized a combination of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and dip-coating techniques to develop a novel composite coating comprising an MAO base layer and a poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) outer layer on EK30 magnesium alloy. This composite coating was designed to enhance the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of EK30 magnesium alloy for stent applications. The surface characteristics, corrosion resistance, in vitro cytocompatibility, and deformation adaptability of the composite coating to the stent were evaluated. The MAO-PBAT composite coating demonstrated a low corrosion current density (I_corr = 2.381 ×10⁻⁸ A/cm²), three orders of magnitude lower than that of unmodified EK30 magnesium alloy. Live/dead cell staining results confirmed that the composite coating exhibited good cytocompatibility with human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) and human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs). Observations of the stent treated with the composite coating during crimping and expansion showed that the composite coating possessed excellent deformation adaptability. These results indicate that the MAO-PBAT composite coating has significant potential for vascular stent application.

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) have emerged as versatile nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems that can stimulate systemic immune responses and facilitate precise co-delivery of multiple therapeutic agents. This study introduces a bioengineering approach that enables the co-delivery of the angiogenesis inhibitor Angio-3 and the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) within OMVs, creating a potent antitumor therapeutic platform. Angio-3 displayed on the surface of OMVs inhibited angiogenesis and decreased vascular permeability, which in turn impeded the supply of nutrients necessary for tumor growth. Moreover, intrinsic properties of OMVs triggered a systemic immune response. Both in vitro and in vivo studies, including a CT26 tumor-bearing mouse model, have demonstrated that the OMV@A&D-based therapeutic regimen, which integrates antiangiogenesis, chemotherapy, and immune activation, significantly suppresses tumor proliferation. This study highlights the potential of bioengineered OMVs in revolutionizing cancer therapy by offering a multifaceted and synergistic platform that enhances therapeutic outcomes.

The clinical management and treatment of skin wounds in the elderly present significant challenges due to changes in skin structure and function. This study introduces a novel injectable self-healing hydrogel composed of quaternized chitosan and carboxymethyl chitosan (HACC/CMCS, HC), designed through electrostatic interactions. Its excellent injectability and self-healing properties enhance the application of hydrogel dressings and prolong their functional lifespan. Moreover, the adhesion and flexibility of HC hydrogel contribute to their stability in highly dynamic regions, thereby preventing detachment and enhancing their hemostatic function. The material exhibits excellent biocompatibility and possesses antibacterial properties that protect wounds from external microbial damage, thereby reducing the risk of infection while maintaining a moist environment that facilitates healing. Importantly, the in vivo test have demonstrated that the HC hydrogel significantly enhances collagen deposition, reduces senescent cell accumulation, and accelerates wound closure. Therefore, this study offers a safe, effective, and cost-efficient solution for managing wounds in the aging population.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic non-specific inflammatory disease of the intestine that significantly impacts patient quality of life. This study introduces a OF/CC/SM hydrogel containing oxidized fucoidan (OF), carboxymethyl chitosan (CC), and silk sericin-stabilized mesalazine (SM), designed for rectal administration to target mesalazine delivery specifically to the colon. The OF/CC/SM hydrogel demonstrated good biocompatibility (cell compatibility > 99 %), injectability, and adhesion strength, ensuring effective mesalazine retention and release. In vitro assays confirmed the hydrogel's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which were further validated in vivo using a mouse model of ulcerative colitis. Rectal administration of OF/CC/SM hydrogel significantly relieved weight loss, lowered disease activity index scores, and prevented intestinal shortening associated with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) treatment. The hydrogel decreased the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (e.g., tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β)), while normalized the level of biomarkers (e.g., inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), myeloperoxidase (MPO), catalase (CAT), and malondialdehyde (MDA)). Additionally, the OF/CC/SM hydrogel modulated the gut microbiota, increasing beneficial bacteria while decreasing potentially harmful species. Histopathological analysis revealed a reduction in inflammatory infiltration and improved mucosal architecture. Additionally, in vivo imaging studies confirmed sustained presence of OF/CC/SM hydrogel in the intestines following rectal administration, highlighting its potential for enhanced therapeutic efficacy in treating ulcerative colitis.

Marine mussels adhere to various types of substrates in aqueous/wet environments, and their adhesion is controlled by the catechol structure of the phenolic hydroxyl groups. Tissue adhesives with a catechol structure have been designed based on this biomimetic adhesion mechanism. However, the effects of the chemical structure of the phenolic hydroxyl groups on tissue adhesion and biocompatibility have not yet been systematically investigated. In this study, various phenolic hydroxyl group-modified Alaska pollock gelatins (nHy-ApGltns (n = 0, 1, 2, 3)) were synthesized and their function as tissue adhesives with a poly(ethylene glycol)-based 4-armed crosslinker (4S-PEG) was evaluated. The nHy-ApGltn adhesives showed increases in bulk strength and decreases in swelling compared to the original-ApGltn (Org-ApGltn) adhesive. The tensile stress and Young's modulus of the nHy-ApGltn adhesives increased with the introduction of nHy groups. The burst strength of the nHy-ApGltn adhesives had a maximum value at each content; however, a high content of nHy in the nHy-ApGltn adhesives had a negative effect on the burst strength. The burst strength of the porcine aorta with all the nHy-ApGltn adhesives was higher than that with human blood pressure. From histological observations after burst strength measurements, the 2Hy- and 3Hy-ApGltn adhesives showed stable interfacial adhesion compared to the Org-, 0Hy-, and 1Hy-ApGltn adhesives. The nHy-ApGltn (n = 0, 3) adhesives implanted subcutaneously in rats completely degraded within 64 days without severe inflammation or foreign body reactions. Therefore, nHy-ApGltn adhesives with low nHy content have excellent tissue adhesion and biocompatibility in wet environments and have the potential for use in biomedical applications.

In extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment, designing membrane with self-anticoagulant properties can solve problems resulting from the adverse effect of anticoagulants. In this study, 2,4,6-Triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and 2,5-Diaminobenzenesulfonic acid (Pa-SO₃H) were applied to grow a sulfonated COF film in situ on the polyethersulfone (PES) membrane. The introduction of sulfonic groups increased the hydrophilicity and electronegativity of the TpPa COF film, improved its anti-protein adhesion properties, maintained the normal morphology of blood cells, and endowed the COF film with antithrombotic properties. In the porcine blood circulation test, the duration to increase So₂ (O₂ saturation) from ∼75–95 % in TpPa-SO₃H COF/PES membrane (M-TpPa-SO₃H) was 70 min shorter than that in TpPa COF/PES membrane (M-TpPa). This preparation method is applicable to the preparation of not only flat membranes, but also hollow fiber membranes. These findings emphasize the potential of M-TpPa-SO₃H in ECMO applications, providing superior antithrombotic property and CO₂ efflux potential.

Open skin wounds are susceptible to bacterial infections, which can delay healing and even trigger life-threatening complications. The improper and prolonged use of antibiotics can accelerate bacterial resistance, complicating the treatment of clinical infections. Therefore, there is an urgent need for effective antibiotic-free therapeutic strategies to treat bacterial infections in wounds. In this study, we loaded the growth factor Dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) into the pores of PCN-224 and subsequently deposited 2-Methylimidazole zinc salt (ZIF-8) on its surface, creating an injectable hydrogel based on a MOF-on-MOF design. This approach leverages metal ion release in conjunction with photodynamic therapy (PDT) to achieve effective antibacterial activity. Additionally, the injectable hydrogel can adapt to various wound morphologies and enable hemostasis for acute tissue injuries due to its fast gelation speed and adhesiveness. Meanwhile, the sustained release of DMOG promotes angiogenesis. Results demonstrated that the GelMA/HA/DMOG@PCN-224/ZIF-8 (GelMA/HA/D@PZ) hydrogel achieves a 99.9 % bactericidal rate against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and MRSA, while also significantly promoting the healing of infected wounds. Therefore, the GelMA/HA/D@PZ composite material facilitates initial hemostasis, mid-term antibacterial activity, and long-term angiogenesis, providing a novel, efficient, and safe approach to promote the healing of infected wounds.

This study investigates the fabrication and evaluation of 3D-printed scaffolds (G-scaffolds) incorporating dexamethasone-loaded microspheres (Dex-M) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) to enhance osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Dex-M was prepared using an ultrasonic atomizer, achieving a high encapsulation efficiency and uniform particle size. The G-scaffolds were precisely printed using photoactive bioprinting, creating Dex-M+BMP2 +G-scaffolds. In vitro release studies demonstrated sustained Dex release over 6 weeks, with the Dex-M+BMP2 +G-scaffold significantly reducing the initial burst release and maintaining stable levels of osteogenic factors. Cytotoxicity assays confirmed the biocompatibility of the scaffolds, showing no adverse effects on hMSC viability. Osteogenic differentiation was assessed via RT-PCR, revealing that the Dex-M+BMP2 +G-scaffold exhibited the highest expression levels of critical osteogenic markers (ON, OP, OC, and COL1A) compared with the other scaffold formulations. Calcium deposition and elemental analysis also demonstrated enhanced mineralization in the Dex-M+BMP2 +G-scaffold group, with calcium and phosphate levels 3.9–1.7 times higher than in the other groups. Overall, the Dex-M+BMP2 +G-scaffold effectively promoted osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of hMSCs, underscoring its potential as a promising biomaterial for bone tissue engineering applications.
