Oral ulcers are a common oral mucosal disease that seriously affect the quality of life. Traditional drug treatments have shown unsatisfactory efficacy and potential adverse reactions. In this study, curcumin-loaded multifunctional magnesium metal–organic framework-embedded hyaluronic acid-soluble microneedles patches were developed to optimize treatment strategies for oral ulcers. This microneedles patch achieves efficient release of curcumin and Mg 2+ in the ulcer through precisely targeted delivery and controllable release mechanism, significantly regulates inflammation, promotes cell migration and angiogenesis, and accelerates the ulcer healing process. At the same time, the synergistic effect of curcumin and gallic acid effectively alleviated oxidative stress, while the backplate ε-poly- l -lysine and needle tip Mg 2+ jointly constructed an antibacterial barrier to effectively inhibit pathogens. Verification using an oral ulcer rat model showed that the microneedles patch exhibited excellent therapeutic effects. This not only opens up a new avenue for clinical oral treatment but also marks a breakthrough in nanobiomaterials science and drug delivery technology and heralds a broad prospect in the field of oral ulcer treatment in the future.

Tumor metastasis involves cells migrating directionally in response to external chemical signals. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the form of H2O2 has been demonstrated as a chemoattractant for neutrophils but its spatial characteristics in tumor microenvironment and potential role in tumor cell dissemination remain unknown. Here we investigate the spatial ROS distribution in 3D tumor spheroids and identify a ROS concentration gradient in spheroid periphery, which projects into a H2O2 gradient in tumor microenvironment. We further reveal the role of H2O2 gradient to induce chemotaxis of tumor cells by activating Src and subsequently inhibiting RhoA. Finally, we observe that the absence of mitochondria cristae remodeling proteins including the mitochondria-localized actin motor Myosin 19 (Myo19) enhances ROS gradient and promotes tumor dissemination. Myo19 downregulation is seen in many tumors, and Myo19 expression is negatively associated with tumor metastasis in vivo. Together, our study reveals the chemoattractant role of tumor microenvironmental ROS and implies the potential impact of mitochondria cristae disorganization on tumor invasion and metastasis.

Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) often experience mental and memory disorders with poor outcomes. Coenzyme Q10 can degrade formaldehyde (FA) and improve Alzheimer-related symptoms, but its ability to cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is limited. This study investigated whether low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) enhances 30 nm Q10 delivery and improve symptoms in AD model mice. Here, 30 nm Q10 was prepared by encapsulating Q10 in liposomes coupled with PEG, creating PEG-Q10@NPs under 30 nm in diameter. Wild-type mice and APPswe/PS1dE9 mice (a familial AD model) received 30 nm Q10 via intraperitoneal injection, or a combination of 30 nm Q10 and LIPUS (50 or 100 100 mW/cm 2 ). Then the mice’s anxiety-like and depression-like behaviors and biochemical index were evaluated. We found that the combination therapy of LIPUS at 100 mW/cm 2 and 30 nm Q10 was more effective in ameliorating psychosis in AD mice than individual treatments with 30 nm Q10. This effectiveness was linked to higher levels of brain Q10, serotonin (5-HT), and dopamine (DA), along with lower levels of FA and plaques. Especially, excessive FA directly inactivated 5-HT and DA in vitro. The enhanced cellular uptake of Q10 and improved BBB permeability facilitated by LIPUS were confirmed in both cultured cells and wild-type mice. Unexpectedly, LIPUS at the different intensity only partially alleviated anxiety and depression symptoms and memory deficits in AD mice. Hence, this combination therapy of LIPUS and 30 nm Q10 is an innovative strategy for ameliorating mental and cognitive disorders in AD. Graphic

For photoluminescence (PL) properties of Mn 2+ in glass–ceramics are highly dependent on the concentration of Mn 2+ , we experimentally observed the change of Mn 2+ structures from isolated Mn 2+ ion as a tetrahedron, octahedron to Mn 2+ -Mn 2+ dimer in B-P-Zn-K based glass–ceramics with characteristic PL peaks locating at 504 nm, 600 nm, and 660 nm, respectively. Spectral results reveal that condensed Mn 2+ would lead to redshift of PL emission and reduced Luminous intensity caused by concentration quenching, however, with increasing Mn 2+ content, shift of Mn 2+ structure is the determining factor for PL redshift. Moreover, compared with tetrahedral and octahedral Mn 2+ , Mn 2+ -Mn 2+ dimer exhibits highly enhanced PL emission and shortened life span which reveal that transitions of Mn 2+ -Mn 2+ dimer are far more efficient than those transitions in tetrahedral and octahedral Mn 2+ . This enables tuning of color and efficiency of PL emission for Mn-doped glass–ceramics via a simple method. Graphical abstract

Biomolecular condensates, which arise from liquid–liquid phase separation within cells, may provide a means of enriching and prolonging the retention of small-molecule drugs within cells. Here we report a method for the controlled in situ formation of biomolecular condensates as reservoirs for the enrichment and retention of chemotherapeutics in cancer cells, and show that the approach can be leveraged to enhance antitumour efficacies in mice with drug-resistant tumours. The method involves histones as positively charged proteins and doxorubicin-intercalated DNA strands bioorthogonally linked via a click-to-release reaction between trans -cyclooctene and tetrazine groups. The reaction temporarily impaired the phase separation of histones in vitro, favoured the initiation of liquid–liquid phase separation within cells and led to the formation of biomolecular condensates that were sufficiently large to be retained within tumour cells. The controlled formation of biomolecular condensates as drug reservoirs within cells may offer new options for boosting the efficacies of cancer therapies.

Electrochemical uranium extraction from nuclear wastewater represents an emerging strategy for recycling uranium resources. However, in nuclear fuel production which generates the majority of uranium-containing nuclear wastewater, fluoride ion (F − ) co-exists with uranyl (UO 2 2+ ), resulting in the complex species of UO 2 F x and thus decreasing extraction efficiency. Herein, we construct Ti δ+ -PO 4 3− ion pair extraction sites in Ti(OH)PO 4 for efficient electrochemical uranium extraction in wastewater from nuclear fuel production. These sites selectively bind with UO 2 F x through the combined Ti-F and multiple O-U-O bonds. In the uranium extraction, the uranium species undergo a crystalline transition from U 3 O 7 to K 3 UO 2 F 5 . In real nuclear wastewater, the uranium is electrochemically extracted with a high efficiency of 99.6% and finally purified as uranium oxide powder, corresponding to an extraction capacity of 6829 mg g −1 without saturation. This work paves an efficient way for electrochemical uranium recycling in real wastewater of nuclear production.

Iron and Manganese pollution were widespread in the water of northern Chinese mines, exacerbating regional water scarcity and potential ecological issues. This study aimed to remove dissolved iron and manganese from acid mine water using serpentine-loaded manganese oxide (Serp-MO) prepared by a simple coprecipitation-loaded metal method. Serp-MO was microscopically characterized, and the adsorption performance and adsorption mechanism of the Serp-MO composite adsorbent for Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ were analyzed. After loading, the specific surface area and pore volume of the particles significantly increased, and the surface pore structure improved, which was conducive to the simultaneous adsorption and removal of iron and manganese. The optimal reaction conditions for Serp-MO treatment of composite water samples with Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ mass concentrations of 20 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively, were as follows: dosage of Serp-MO 550 mg/L, temperature 35 ℃, oscillation rate 180 r/min, and reaction time 140 min. Under these conditions, the removal rates of Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ were 99.8% and 99.6%, respectively. The presence of coexistence cations Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ can inhibit the removal of Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ by Serp-MO, while SO 4 2- can promote the removal. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isothermal adsorption model well described the adsorption process of Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ by the Serp-MO. The maximum adsorption capacities of Serp-MO for Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ were 14.31 mg/g and 24.04 mg/g, representing improvements of 470.12% and 626.28%, respectively, compared to Serp-MO. The adsorption thermodynamics showed that ΔG was <0 and ΔH and ΔS were greater than 0 at all test temperatures, which was an entropy-increasing reaction, and that increasing the temperature was favorable for the removal of Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ . Based on the analysis of adsorption products, Serp-MO primarily facilitates the precipitation of iron in water, while the removal of manganese was mainly by adsorption. A regeneration study over five cycles indicated that Serp-MO possessed promising reusability potential. Furthermore, the safety leaching test indicated that the material caused minimal secondary pollution.

Graphene-based material is widely used to remove arsenic from water due to its layered structure with high surface area. Here, we have successfully synthesized Fe-La bimetallic modified graphite sheet materials to more efficiently remove As(III) from aqueous solution. The results showed that Fe-La-graphite sheets (FL-graphite sheets) have a larger specific surface area (194.28 m 2 ·g −1 ) than graphite sheets (2.80 m 2 ·g −1 ). The adsorption capacity of FL-graphite sheets for As(III) was 51.69 mg·g −1 , which was higher than that of graphite sheets (21.91 mg·g −1 ), La-graphite sheets (26.06 mg·g −1 ), and Fe-graphite sheets (40.26 mg·g −1 ). The FL-graphite sheets conformed to the Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 53.62 mg·g −1 . The removal process obeys intra-particle diffusion and pore diffusion for As(III). The results of batch adsorption experiments and characterization analyses demonstrated that oxidation, ligand exchange, and inner sphere complexation mechanisms involved in the adsorption of FL-graphite sheets to As(III) in comparison with graphite sheets. In addition, electrostatic attraction mechanism was found vital in the adsorption. Ecotoxicity assessment revealed that FL-graphite sheets have little influence on rice germination and growth, but reduced the toxicity of As(III) to rice. Therefore, the FL-graphite sheets have good practical application value in purifying As(III) polluted water with litter ecotoxicity.

Wearable sweat sensors can noninvasively, in real time, and continuously monitor various physiological markers in sweat at the molecular level, which has a wide range of application prospects in the fields of health management, healthcare, and clinical diagnosis. However, effective sweat sampling remains a great challenge. Here, we prepared Janus fabric sweat glucose sensors, which were made by electrospinning hydrophobic polyurethane (PU) on a super hydrophilic gauze that can unidirectionally transport sweat from the skin (hydrophobic side) to the electrode (hydrophilic side). The screen-printed electrode modified by glucose oxidase has a good linear response to glucose. On-body experiments show that the sensor can detect glucose levels in sweat in real-time. The Janus fabric glucose sensor with its in situ monitoring capability and unidirectional liquid transport, and requires very low production costs, is expected to facilitate the development of smart textile sensors, opening new possibilities for exploring precise and controllable platforms for body fluid collection and sensing.

Diabetic foot ulcers often become infected, leading to treatment complications and increased risk of loss of limb. Therapeutics to manage infection and simultaneously promote healing are needed. Here we report on the development of a Janus liposozyme that treats infections and promotes wound closure and re-epithelialization. The Janus liposozyme consists of liposome-like selenoenzymes for reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging to restore tissue redox and immune homeostasis. The liposozymes are used to encapsulate photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy of infections. We demonstrate application in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus -infected diabetic wounds showing high ROS levels for antibacterial function from the photosensitizer and nanozyme ROS scavenging from the liposozyme to restore redox and immune homeostasis. We demonstrate that the liposozyme can directly regulate macrophage polarization and induce a pro-regenerative response. By employing single-cell RNA sequencing, T cell-deficient Rag1 −/− mice and skin-infiltrated immune cell analysis, we further reveal that IL-17-producing γδ T cells are critical for mediating M1/M2 macrophage transition. Manipulating the local immune homeostasis using the liposozyme is shown to be effective for skin wound repair and tissue regeneration in mice and mini pigs.

Endowing textiles with perceptual function, similar to human skin, is crucial for the development of next-generation smart wearables. To date, the creation of perceptual textiles capable of sensing potential dangers and accurately pinpointing finger touch remains elusive. In this study, we present the design and fabrication of intelligent perceptual textiles capable of electrically responding to external dangers and precisely detecting human touch, based on conductive silk fibroin-based ionic hydrogel (SIH) fibers. These fibers possess excellent fracture strength (55 MPa), extensibility (530%), stable and good conductivity (0.45 S·m –1 ) due to oriented structures and ionic incorporation. We fabricated SIH fiber-based protective textiles that can respond to fire, water, and sharp objects, protecting robots from potential injuries. Additionally, we designed perceptual textiles that can specifically pinpoint finger touch, serving as convenient human-machine interfaces. Our work sheds new light on the design of next-generation smart wearables and the reshaping of human-machine interfaces.

A lanthanide ion–based metal–organic framework (Eu-TATAB nanorods) was designed and synthesized as an effective tri-mode nanoprobe for sensitive and portable detection of ethanol content in a water–ethanol mixture. The assay was based on the responsive properties of Eu-TATAB nanorods to ethanol stimulus and their adaptive encapsulation capability towards optically active lanthanides. With the addition of ethanol to the Eu-TATAB nanorods, the structure was destroyed, resulting in a decrease in luminescence, electrochemiluminescence, and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometric signals by perturbing energy transfer in the Eu-TATAB nanorods. According to the degree of the decrease in three luminescence intensities, the ethanol content could be quantitatively detected. Based on this, the rapid detection of alcohol content in different types of spirits and alcoholic beverages was further realized. This method is simple, convenient, and sensitive, and has good application prospects and development potential. Graphical
