Malignant melanoma, a highly aggressive malignancy, necessitates innovative therapeutic strategies integrating biomaterial innovation with multimodal treatment modalities. Herein, we report the development of a collagen-derived bioelectronic skin (c-ADM) nanoengineered via interfacial assembly of porcine acellular dermal matrix (ADM)—a natural collagen-rich scaffold—with conductive poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS-NPs). This hybrid system synergizes photothermal ablation, stimuli-responsive drug delivery, and electrostimulation (ES) for comprehensive postoperative melanoma management and tissue regeneration. The c-ADM platform exhibits superior mechanical robustness, enzymatic resistance, and biocompatibility, enabling real-time motion monitoring while maintaining structural integrity in dynamic physiological environments. Leveraging the photothermal efficiency of CuS-NPs, localized hyperthermia (ΔT > 40 °C) under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation induces irreversible melanoma cell apoptosis. Concurrently, laser-triggered temperature-responsive drug release enables synchronized photothermal-chemotherapy, with sustained doxorubicin release profiles at tumor sites. Notably, pH-responsive Cu 2 ⁺ liberation from CuS-NPs facilitates intelligent functional switching: bactericidal activity at tumor microenvironment pH (5.0–6.0) and pro-regenerative effects under physiological pH (7.4) for wound healing. In vitro/in vivo assessments confirm c-ADM’s dual therapeutic efficacy including ES-enhanced cancer cell death via mitochondrial dysfunction and accelerated full-thickness skin regeneration through collagen remodeling and angiogenesis modulation. This work establishes a collagen-based bioelectronic scaffold for personalized oncological care, integrating intraoperative tumor eradication, postoperative surveillance, and adaptive tissue reconstruction.

Human skin exhibits remarkable self-healing and responsiveness, attributed to dynamic disulfide (S S) bonds. However, traditional elastomer polymers often suffer from poor mechanical performance, low stability, and weak signal-capture capabilities due to metastability and insufficient interchain interactions. To overcome these limitations, a novel strategy combining inverse vulcanization and iron(III)-carboxylate coordination was proposed to construct a multifunctional, recyclable elastomer named PTCFe. In this system, thioctic acid (TA) undergoes inverse vulcanization with maleic acid-modified cellulose nanocrystals (MACNC), forming a robust dynamic network. Subsequently, ferric chloride (FeCl₃) induces multivalent Fe 3+ –carboxylate coordination, further reinforcing the polymer matrix. The presence of abundant hydrogen bonds and dynamic S S linkages synergistically enhance interchain interactions. As a result, PTCFe demonstrates high optical transparency (>90 %), exceptional stretchability (up to 1200 %), and strong adhesion (1368.56–1938.76 KPa) to diverse surfaces. It also exhibits outstanding self-healing efficiency (up to 89.6 %) and skin-friendly properties, maintaining stable signal detection during strenuous activities such as mountaineering, even under subzero conditions. Moreover, the elastomer is fully recyclable by thermal remelting and shows rapid biodegradability in soil. The PTCFe with above properties as a promising platform for next-generation wearable sensors and electronic skin (e-skin) technologies.

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation has garnered significant attention as a sustainable technology for freshwater production. However, its widespread application is impeded by challenges, such as complex fabrication processes, high costs, and vulnerability to pore clogging. Herein, we present an E-shaped evaporator constructed through in situ integration of a binary photothermal nanocomposite comprising reduced graphene oxide and molybdenum disulfide (rGO/MoS2) onto a polyurethane sponge substrate. The synergistic light absorption enhancement of the rGO/MoS2 hybrid is rationally utilized to achieve excellent broadband solar harvesting. The distinctive E-shaped configuration simultaneously optimizes light utilization through multiangle photon capture and facilitates rapid water transport via hierarchical channels. This integrated system demonstrates exceptional operational stability with a cumulative water yield of 16.58 kg·m–2 under 12 h natural illumination, which could effectively facilitate seawater desalination and wastewater purification. The proposed fabrication strategy, characterized by cost-effectiveness and scalable manufacturing compatibility, paves the way for practical implementation in off-grid water purification systems.

The emergence of novel e-textile materials that combine the inherent qualities of the textile substrate (lightweight, soft, breathable, durable, etc.) with the functionality of micro/nano-electronic materials (conductive, dielectric, sensing, etc.) has resulted in a trend toward miniaturization, integration, and intelligence in new electronic devices. However, the formation of a conductive network by micro/nano-conductive materials on textiles necessitates high-temperature sintering, which inevitably causes substrate aging and component damage. Herein, a bis-hydroxy-imidazolium chloride salt as a hard segment to synthesize a waterborne polyurethane (WPU) adhesive is designed and prepared. When used in nano-silver-based printing coatings, it offers strong adherence for coatings, reaching 16 N cm−1; on the other hand, the introduction of chloride ions enables low-temperature (60 °C) chemical sintering to address the challenge of secondary treatment and high-temperature sintering (>150 °C). Printed into flexible circuits, the resistivity can be controlled by the content of imidazolium salts anchored in the molecular chain of the WPU from a maximum resistivity of 3.1 × 107down to 5.8 × 10−5Ω m, and it can conduct a Bluetooth-type finger pulse detector with such low resistivity. As a flexible circuit, it also offers high stability against washing and adhesion, which the resistivity only reduces less than 20% after washing 10 times and adhesion. Owing to the adjustability of the resistivity, we fabricated an all-textile flexible pressure sensor that accurately differentiates different external pressures (min. 10 g, ~29 Pa), recognizes forms, and detects joint motions (finger bending and wrist flexion).

Vitamin E derivatives possess many essential features for drug-delivery applications, such as biocompatibility, stability, improvement of water solubility of hydrophobic compounds, anticancer activity, and the ability to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR). Herein, vitamin E derivatives are used to overcome MDR through a combined P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibition and mitochondrial impairment strategy. A novel nanomicellar drug-delivery system as a carrier for doxorubicin (DOX) was developed, in which d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate was used as a P-gp inhibitor, α-tocopheryl succinate was introduced as a mitochondrial disrupting agent, and d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 2000 succinate was used as the main building block of micelles. The optimal ratio between the components of the nanocarrier was determined. The resultant DOX-loaded mixed micelles exhibited a suitable size of 52.08 nm, high drug-loading encapsulation efficiency (>98%), high stability, and pH-dependent drug release. In vitro experiments demonstrated a significantly increased cytotoxic activity of DOX-loaded mixed micelles against resistant MCF-7/Adr cells (45-fold higher than DOX after 48 h of treatment). In vivo studies revealed superior antitumor efficiency with less cardio- and hepatotoxicities of DOX-loaded micelles compared with that of free DOX. These results highlight that the developed DOX-loaded mixed micelles have a promising potential to overcome MDR in chemotherapy for clinical usage.

The novel anti-Prelog stereospecific carbonyl reductase from Acetobacter sp. CCTCC M209061 was successfully expressed in E. coli combined with glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) to construct an efficient whole-cell biocatalyst with coenzyme NADH regeneration. The enzymatic activity of GAcCR (AcCR with a GST tag) reached 304.9 U/g-dcw, even 9 folds higher than that of wild strain, and the activity of GDH for NADH regeneration recorded 46.0 U/mg-protein in the recombinant E. coli . As a whole-cell biocatalyst, the recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3)pLysS (pETDuet- gaccr - gdh ) possessed a broad substrate spectrum for kinds of carbonyl compounds with encouraging yield and stereoselectivity. Besides, the asymmetric reduction of ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate (COBE) to optically pure ethyl 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate (CHBE) catalyzed by the whole-cell biocatalyst was systematically investigated. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the optical purity of CHBE was over 99% e.e. for ( S )-enantiomer, and the initial rate and product yield reached 8.04 μmol/min and 99.4%, respectively. Moreover, the space-time yield was almost 20 folds higher than that catalyzed by the wild strain. Therefore, a new, high efficiency biocatalyst for asymmetric reductions was constructed successfully, and the enantioselective reduction of prochiral compounds using the biocatalyst was a promising approach for obtaining enantiopure chiral alcohols.

Injectable implants with the ability to form in situ are one of the most promising carriers for the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs to tumor sites. We have reported a novel injectable in situ-forming implant system composed of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA), ethyl oleate, along with the sol-gel phase transition. The chemotherapeutic drug-loaded injectable NBCA ethyl oleate implant (INEI) exhibited excellent therapeutic efficacy for local chemotherapy. Herein, we utilize this INEI to carry N, N′-(Sulfonyldi-4,1-phenylene)bis(2-chloroacetamide) (TE-C-5003), which is a selective protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) inhibitor, to treat the lung cancer mice model. The in vitro experiment shows that TE-C-5003 has a good anti-tumor effect on lung cancer (IC50 = 0.7022 µM for A549; IC50 = 0.6844 µM for NCL-H1299) and breast cancer (IC50 = 0.4128 µM for MCF-7; IC50 = 0.5965 µM for MDA-MB-231). Anti-tumor experiments in animal models showed that the average growth inhibition rate of xenografted human lung cancer cells by the TE-C-5003-loaded INEI (40% NBCA) was 68.23%, which is far more than TC-E-5003 alone (31.76%). Our study further confirms that INEI is an effective technique to improve the anti-tumor effect. The druggability of small molecule compounds can be improved with the help of the mentioned technology. Also, TC-E-5003 may be developed as a broad spectrum anti-tumor drug.

Okadaic acid is a kind of fat-soluble diarrhetic shellfish poison existing extensively in shellfish. The rapid on site detection of shellfish contaminated by the toxin is a serious problem. Herein, a new method combining a kit with the Bionic e-Eye was developed for the rapid detection of okadaic acid on site. After optimization the kit reached a very low limit of detection, 0.19 μg L−1, and the linear detection range was 0.2–10 μg L−1. The cross reaction rate with dinophysistoxins 1 was 23.6%. The kit had a small cross reaction with other kinds of toxin like saxitoxin, gynotoxin 2 & 3 and pectenotoxins 2-b. The recovery range was about 75.78–102.56%, and the CVs were lower than 20%. A correlation analysis was conducted between the Bionic e-Eye and a microplate reader in PBS and shellfish backgrounds. The detection results of the real shellfish samples by the Bionic e-Eye exhibited great consistency with high performance liquid chromatography. The total time taken to perform the detection was less than 90 minutes. Above all, the method integrated kit with the Bionic e-Eye was very suitable for the rapid detection of okadaic acid on site.

A novel piezocatalytic active membrane based on mixed matrix of exfoliated multi-flaw MoS 2 (E-MoS 2 ) nanosheets and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was synthesized by electrospinning technique. The composition and structure of the obtained E-MoS 2 /PVDF electrospun fiber membranes (EFMs) were characterized via FESEM, HR-TEM, XRD, FTIR and XPS techniques. The piezocatalytic activity of the EFMs was evaluated by the degradation of antibiotic oxytetracycline (OTC) under ultrasonic irradiation in the dark. The 10.0 wt% E-MoS 2 /PVDF EFMs exhibited superior OTC degradation efficiency of 93.08% within 24 min with pseudo-first-order kinetic constant ( k ) of 0.09124 min −1 , which was 21.1 times higher than that of the pure PVDF EFMs. The superior performance was attributed to the synergetic effect of the embedded E-MoS 2 nanosheets and a high proportion of PVDF β -phase (94.1%) to effectively improve the piezoelectric property of composite. In addition, the ultrathin multi-flaw structure of E-MoS 2 provided abundant catalytic active edge sites and increased the surface charge density, promoting the generation of more ∙OH and ∙O 2 – radicals to degrade OTC pollutants. The degradation intermediates of OTC over 10 wt% E-MoS 2 /PVDF EFMs were detected by HPLC–MS and two main degradation pathways were reasonably proposed. The piezocatalytic activity of 10 wt% E-MoS 2 /PVDF EFMs remained stable after five consecutive cycles. This study is meaningful for exploring the composite membrane piezocatalysts for largescale applications in wastewater treatment.

Radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) substantially compromises the efficacy of cancer treatment and patient survival, while current therapeutic approaches exhibit limited efficacy in addressing its multifactorial pathogenesis. Curcumin possesses multi-targeted pharmacological properties relevant to RIOM, including antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and mucosal repair effects, rendering it an ideal therapeutic agent. This study developed a curcumin-based intelligent-responsive integrated therapeutic platform (Cur-VE-Zn@gel) via a hierarchical assembly strategy. Specifically, curcumin was covalently bound to vitamin E to form the active center, while its coordination with Zn 2+ facilitates self-assembly into stable polymeric structures. This design not only significantly enhanced the biosecurity of curcumin but also amplified its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and tissue repair capabilities, while exhibited stable DNA repair characteristics, thus establishing a comprehensive radioprotective barrier. This bioactive complex was further incorporated into an adhesive thermosensitive hydrogel consisting of chitosan and poloxamer, which enabled targeted delivery to oral mucosa and bypassed the low systemic bioavailability of curcumin. Comprehensive in vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrated that the Cur-VE-Zn@gel platform effectively modulated DNA damage repair, oxidative stress, inflammatory cascades, and epithelial regeneration, thereby achieving synergistic multi-targeted therapy for the suppression of RIOM. Ultimately, this biomaterial-based strategy successfully addresses the key pharmacological limitations of curcumin through structural modification and targeted delivery, providing a highly promising, safe, and effective approach for the clinically challenging management of RIOM.

Making multiple heterojunction of photocatalysts is an effect approach to achieve high effective utilization of solar resource. A novel ternary AgI/BiOI/pg-C 3 N 4 nanocomposite was synthesized with a unique n-p-n heterojunction. In this work, an in-situ transformation method was used to fabricate AgI/BiOI/pg-C 3 N 4 heterostructure with different AgI/BiOI ratios. The photocatalytic activity of the AgI/BiOI/pg-C 3 N 4 was detected by the degradation of methylene orange (MO) and tetracycline (TC). The AgI/BiOI/pg-C 3 N 4 composites exhibited better photocatalytic activity than pg-C 3 N 4 and BiOI/pg-C 3 N 4 composite. The performance of photocatalytic antibacterial inactivation of E. coli indicated that the AgI/BiOI/pg-C 3 N 4 heterostructure is an ideal material for antibacterial applications. The ESR and trapping experiments confirmed that the degradation of organic pollution is completed through the co-operation of •O 2 − , •OH and h + . A possible mechanism of the degradation process is proposed.

Tetra-aminophenyl porphyrin (TAPP)-grafted Zn–Ag–In–S quantum dots (ZAIS QDs)/poly(maleic anhydride- alt -1-octadecene) (PMAO) nanoparticles were synthesized and their photoluminescence properties as well as photodynamic properties were studied. ZAIS QDs showed the brightest photoluminescence and highest quantum yield at an optimized Zn feeding molar ratio of 20%. Those TAPP-grafted nanoparticles (i.e., ZAIS/PMAO- g -TAPP) were able to produce 1 O 2 in aqueous solution under light irradiation as indicated by the 1 O 2 indicator, 9,10-anthracenediyl-bis(methylene) dimalonic acid (ADMA). ZAIS/PMAO- g -TAPP nanoparticles also demonstrate good biocompatibility and low dark toxicity even at a concentration as high as 2.8 mg·mL −1 , whith can be applied as both a fluorescence probe and a photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent. The PDT treatment showed that the viability of melanoma A2058 cells was less than 10% after treatment with the 420 nm light irradiation for 15 min at a photosensitizer concentration of 1.7 mg·mL −1 . During the PDT treatment with Escherichia coli , the survival rate of the bacteria decreased by −95% after light irradiation at the same concentration. Such dual-functional ZAIS/PMAO- g -TAPP nanoparticles researched in this study demonstrate promising potential for fluorescence labeling as well as effective PDT treatment against cancer cells and bacteria.
