In situ growth of ZIF-8 nanoparticles on pure chitosan nanofibrous membranes for efficient antimicrobial wound dressings.

Int J Biol Macromol

Bacterial infections and excessive accumulation of wound exudates remain the main obstacles and clinical challenges to the healing of chronic cutaneous wounds. Conventional dressings are commonly used medical materials for acute wound care, but they do not possess the bacterial infection resistance required for chronic wound treatment. Herein, we prepared pure chitosan nanofibrous membranes (C) by electrospinning with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a sacrificial additive and then loaded with zinc-based metal-organic framework (MOF) as a novel antimicrobial wound dressing.

Aims: This study aimed to develop Imatinib Mesylate (IMT)-loaded Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA)-D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS)- Polyethylene glycol (PEG) hybrid nanoparticles (CSLHNPs) with optimized physicochemical properties for targeted delivery to glioblastoma multiforme.

Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most destructive type of brain tumor with several complications. Currently, most treatments for drug delivery for this disease face challenges due to the poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) and lack of site-specific delivery.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a prevalent hepatic disorder worldwide. Arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15), an enzyme catalyzing the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, plays a crucial role in various diseases. Here, we sought to investigate the involvement of ALOX15 in MASLD.

Background: The introduction of Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAAs) transformed Hepatitis C (HCV) treatment, despite this uptake of DAAs remains lower than required to meet the WHO Sustainable Development Goal (3.3). Treatment with interferon was suggested to be able to deliver important outcomes for people who use drugs in addition to a viral cure, such as social redemption, and shift from a stigmatised identity.

Mesenchymal stromal cells-extracellular vesicles: protein corona as a camouflage mechanism?

Extracell Vesicles Circ Nucl Acids

November 2024

Laboratorio di Biotecnologie Applicate all'Ortopedia, IRCCS Ospedale Galeazzi - Sant'Ambrogio, Milano 20157, Italy.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) showed promising potential for regenerative and therapeutic applications for several pathologies and conditions. Their potential is mainly ascribed to the factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs) they release, which are now envisioned as cell-free therapeutics in cutting-edge clinical studies. A main cornerstone is the preferential uptake by target cells and tissues, in contrast to clearance by phagocytic cells or removal from circulation before reaching the final destination.
