Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive size-changeable and biodegradable nanoplatforms for multimodal therapy possess huge advantages in anti-tumor therapy. Hence, we developed a hyaluronic acid (HA) modified CuS/MnO2 nanosheets (HCMNs) as a multifunctional nanoplatform for synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/photothermal therapy (PTT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT). The prepared HCMNs exhibited significant NIR light absorption and photothermal conversion efficiency because of the densely deposited ultr...

Sulfated glyco-based hydrogels as self-healing, adhesive, and anti-inflammatory dressings for wound healing
Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces. 2024 Apr 12;238:113915. doi: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.113915. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHydrogels have emerged as a new type of wound dressing materials that involved in different stages of the healing processes. However, most of the existing wound dressings mainly offer a protective and moisturizing layer to prevent cross-infection, while the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties are frequently induced by extra addition of other bioactive molecules. Here, a novel type of sulfated glyco-functionalized hydrogels for wound dressing was prepared through the hybrid supramolecular co-...

Dendritic polymer prodrug-based unimolecular micelles for pH-responsive co-delivery of doxorubicin and camptothecin with synergistic controlled drug release effect
Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces. 2024 Apr 11;238:113906. doi: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.113906. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCombination chemotherapy has been recognized as a more powerful strategy for tumor treatment rather than the single chemotherapy. However, the interactive mechanism of the two hydrophobic chemotherapeutic drugs has not been explored by now. Aiming for a better synergistic effect, such interactive mechanism was investigated in the present work, by designing CPT@DOX-DPUTEA-PEG nanomedicine with encapsulated camptothecin (CPT) and conjugated doxorubicin (DOX). The synergistic controlled drug release effect...

Insight into the structural characteristics of self-assembled liposome with epigallocatechin gallate/alcohol dehydrogenase
In this study, the encapsulation and structural characteristics of the self-assembled liposome formed by epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) were studied. According to the results, EGCG significantly increased the catalytic activity of ADH with a 33.33 % activation rate and the liposomes were able to entrap EGCG-ADH with an effectiveness of 88.94 %. The self-assembled monolayers had nanometer-sized particles, and the excellent self-assembled system was demonstrated by the low PDI value and high surface absolute potential. The scanning electron microscope showed that the self-assembled liposome w...
