Engineered Cell Membrane-Camouflaged Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications.

Recent strides in nanomaterials science have paved the way for the creation of reliable, effective, highly accurate, and user-friendly biomedical systems. Pioneering the integration of natural cell membranes into sophisticated nanocarrier architectures, cell membrane camouflage has emerged as a transformative approach for regulated drug delivery, offering the benefits of minimal immunogenicity coupled with active targeting capabilities. Nevertheless, the utility of nanomaterials with such camouflage is curtailed by challenges like suboptimal targeting precision and lackluster therapeutic efficacy.

Ellagic acid solid dispersion: Characterization and bioactivity in the hydroxyl radical oxidation system.

Ellagic acid solid dispersion (EASD) was prepared using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a carrier to improve its solubility. The solubility of EASD enhanced to 0.593 mg/mL, more than 20 times of the solubility on pure EA.

ClcR-based biosensing system in the detection of cis-dihydroxylated (chloro-)biphenyls.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of organic pollutants that are persistent when released into the environment. Among the metabolites of PCBs, dihydroxylated PCBs are also considered as toxic compounds. Various studies have shown that dihydroxylated PCBs affect the reproductive, immune, nervous, and endocrine systems.
