Nanofibrous dressing materials with an antitumor function can potentially inhibit recurrence of melanoma following the surgical excision of skin tumors. In this study, hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile (hPAN) nanofibers biofunctionalized with L-carnosine (CAR) and loaded with bio (CAR)-synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, ZnO/CAR-hPAN (hereafter called ZCPAN), were employed to develop an antimelanoma wound dressing. Inspired by the formulation of the commercial wound healing Zn-CAR complex, i.

New types of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have great potential in solving the current global dilemma on energy, environment, and medical care. Herein, based on two kinds of biomolecule-MOFs (Bio-MOFs) with favorable biocompatibility and degradation-reconstruction characteristics, we have established a self-powered muti-functional device to achieve an efficient and broad-spectrum environmental energy collection and biomedical applications. Combining Zn(II) and carnosine-based Zn-Car_MOF possessing a high piezoelectric response (d = 11.

Host-directed therapies (HDTs) resolve excessive inflammation during tuberculosis (TB) disease, which leads to irreversible lung tissue damage. The peptide-based nanostructures possess intrinsic anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties among HDTs. Native carnosine, a natural dipeptide with superior self-organization and functionalities, was chosen for nanoformulation.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss. A critical aspect of AD pathology is represented by oxidative stress, which significantly contributes to neuronal damage and death. Microglia and astrocytes, the primary glial cells in the brain, are crucial for managing oxidative stress and supporting neuronal function.

Numerous studies reported about potential effects of L-carnosine in regulation of tumor growth and metabolism. We evaluated the effects of different concentrations of L-carnosine from supplement on mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes of human embryo lung fibroblasts (MRC-5) and human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), with different energy pathways. Also, we analyzed the proliferation index and expression of various markers of oxidative stress.
