Biodegradable Janus sonozyme with continuous reactive oxygen species regulation for treating infected critical-sized bone defects.

Critical-sized bone defects are usually accompanied by bacterial infection leading to inflammation and bone nonunion. However, existing biodegradable materials lack long-term therapeutical effect because of their gradual degradation. Here, a degradable material with continuous ROS modulation is proposed, defined as a sonozyme due to its functions as a sonosensitizer and a nanoenzyme.

Heterostructured piezocatalytic nanoparticles with enhanced ultrasound response for efficient repair of infectious bone defects.

Infection of bone defects remains a challenging issue in clinical practice, resulting in various complications. The current clinical treatments include antibiotic therapy and surgical debridement, which can cause drug-resistance and potential postoperative complications. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient treatment to sterilize and promote bone repair in situ.

Ultrasound-controlled MXene-based Schottky heterojunction improves anti-infection and osteogenesis properties.

The current clinical treatment of osteomyelitis is limited by the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, which often leads to the failure of traditional antibiotic treatment and large bone defects. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a new strategy that is widely used to overcome the problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotic therapy as well as poor tissue penetration using near-infrared light in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new sonosensitizer that can kill bacteria and promote bone repair.

Augmenting Intracellular Cargo Delivery of Extracellular Vesicles in Hypoxic Tissues through Inhibiting Hypoxia-Induced Endocytic Recycling.

As mesenchymal stem-cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSC-sEVs) have been widely applied in treatment of degenerative diseases, it is essential to improve their cargo delivery efficiency in specific microenvironments of lesions. However, the interaction between the microenvironment of recipient cells and MSC-sEVs remains poorly understood. Herein, we find that the cargo delivery efficiency of MSC-sEVs was significantly reduced under hypoxia in inflammaging nucleus pulposus cells due to activated endocytic recycling of MSC-sEVs.
