Chondroitin Sulphate-Chitosan Based Nanogels Loaded with Naringenin-β-Cyclodextrin Complex as Potential Tool for the Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy: A Formulation Study.
Int J Nanomedicine
January 2025
Department of Drug Sciences, University of Pavia, Pavia, 27100, Italy.
Purpose: The main purpose of the study was the formulation development of nanogels (NHs) composed of chondroitin sulfate (CS) and low molecular weight chitosan (lCH), loaded with a naringenin-β-cyclodextrin complex (NAR/β-CD), as a potential treatment for early-stage diabetic retinopathy.
Methods: Different formulations of NHs were prepared by varying polymer concentration, lCH ratio, and pH and, then, characterized for particle size, zeta potential, particle concentration (particles/mL) and morphology. Cytotoxicity and internalization were assessed in vitro using Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC).
Study on the Effect of Bee Venom and Its Main Component Melittin in Delaying Skin Aging in Mice.
Int J Mol Sci
January 2025
College of Animal Science, Shanxi Agricultural University, Taigu 030801, China.
Bee venom (BV) and its main compound melittin (MLT) have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging activities; however, very little research has been conducted on their effects on skin aging. In this study, a mouse skin aging model induced by D-galactose was constructed via subcutaneous injection into the scruff of the neck, and different doses of BV and MLT were used as interventions. The anti-aging effects and mechanisms of BV and MLT were explored by detecting the skin morphology and structure, and anti-aging-related factors and performing non-targeted metabolomics of mice.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease characterized by cartilage degradation, leading to bone friction, inflammation, stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility. This study investigates the therapeutic effects of porcine-derived chondroitin sulfate sodium (CS) on OA symptoms at both cellular and animal levels. study, HTB-94 chondrocytes were treated with inflammatory stimuli and CS (10, 50, 100, and 200 μg/mL) to assess the release of inflammatory mediators and the expression of genes and proteins related to cartilage synthesis and degradation.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) has received considerable attention in the reconstruction of lost periodontal tissues. HA has been proposed to play a role in cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and cell-matrix as well as cell-cell interactions. Although various studies have been conducted, further research is needed to expand our knowledge based on HA such as its effects on cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

Chemical modification of naturally derived glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) expands their potential utility for applications in soft tissue repair and regenerative medicine. Here we report the preparation of a novel crosslinked chondroitin sulfate (~200 to 2000 kilodaltons) that is both soluble in aqueous solution and microfilterable. We refer to these materials as "SuperGAGs.
