Bacterial infection of wound surfaces has posed a significant threat to human health and represents a formidable challenge in the clinical treatment. In this study, a novel antimicrobial hydrogel utilizing POM is synthesized as the primary component, with gelatin and sodium alginate as the structural framework. The resultant hydrogel demonstrates exceptional mechanical properties and viscoelasticity attributed to the hydrogen-bonded cross-linking between POM and gelatin, as well as the ionic cross-linking between sodium alginate and Ca.

Abnormal metabolism and blood supply/O imbalance in tumor cells affect drug transport delivery and increase the difficulty of tumor treatment. Controlling tumor growth by inhibiting tumor cell metabolism and regulating progressive embolization in the tumor region provides an innovative basis for constructing tumor therapeutic models. A highly biocompatible and efficient O-depleting agent has been investigated to enable in situ precipitation and embolization within the tumor microenvironment.

Article Synopsis
  • Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are effective individual treatments for tumors, but they are often insufficient alone due to issues like metastasis and recurrence.
  • A new approach involves synthesizing polydopamine-coated Tungsten-based polyoxometalate (PDA@POM) nanospheres that enhance both CDT and PTT through their unique properties.
  • These nanospheres improve tumor treatment by using PDA for targeted cell destruction and W-POM to generate toxic reactive oxygen species, leading to better tumor suppression and a more effective therapy overall.

Wound healing presents a formidable challenge for global healthcare systems. We aimed to address this challenge by designing a multifunctional wound dressing tailored to meet diverse therapeutic needs. Arginine (Arg), selected for its ability to promote wound healing, is grafted onto aldehyde-modified regenerated cellulose (DAC) via Schiff base bonds for a reversible controlled release.

Unlabelled: Endosymbiosis is a widespread and important phenomenon requiring diverse model systems. Ciliates are a widespread group of protists that often form symbioses with diverse microorganisms. Endosymbioses between the ciliate and heritable bacterial symbionts are common in nature, and four essential symbionts were described: , " Protistobacter heckmanni," ".

To investigate the effects of nano-copper oxide (CuO NPs) on plant growth, physio-biochemical characteristics, and heavy metal content under cadmium stress, a hydroponics experiment was conducted on the effects of single and combined treatments of CuO NPs (0, 10, 20, and 50 mg·L) and Cd (0, 1, and 5 μmol·L) on the fresh weight, photosynthetic pigment content, MDA content, antioxidant enzyme activity (CAT, POD, SOD, and GR), and Cu and Cd contents in L. The results showed that under the single addition of CuO NPs, the fresh weight and activities of CAT, POD, and GR were inhibited as a whole. Photosynthetic pigment content and SOD activity increased first and then decreased with the increase in CuO NPs concentration, whereas MDA content in leaves and roots, and Cu content in subcells of L.
