The inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) cycloaddition between tetrazines and strained dienophiles is recognized as a fast and specific reaction. The integrating tetrazines and strained dienophiles onto the backbone of polysaccharides yield appropriate water-soluble precursors for IEDDA cycloaddition. Due to the high specificity of the IEDDA reaction and its outstanding cytocompatibility, a range of cargos (live cells, peptides and pharmaceuticals) can be effectively encapsulated in polysaccharide solutions throughout the hydrogel formation.

Since its conceptualization, click chemistry in all its variants has proven to be a superior synthesis protocol, compared to conventional methods, for forming new covalent bonds under mild conditions, orthogonally, and with high yields. If a term like reactive resilience could be established, click reactions would be good examples, as they perform better under increasingly challenging conditions. Particularly, highly hindered couplings that perform poorly with conventional chemistry protocols-such as those used to conjugate biomacromolecules (e.

Xanthine nucleosides play a significant role in the expansion of the four-letter genetic code. Herein, 7-functionalized 8-aza-7-deazaxanthine ribo- and 2'-deoxyribonucleosides are described. 2-Amino-6-alkoxy nucleosides were converted to halogenated 8-aza-7-deazaxanthine nucleosides by deamination followed by hydroxy/alkoxy substitution.

Article Synopsis
  • Amniotic epithelial stem cells (AEC) have regenerative potential, particularly through their conditioned medium (AEC-CM), which shows immunomodulatory and regenerative effects.
  • A novel hydrogel made from hyaluronic acid and polyethylene glycol was developed to encapsulate AEC-CM, with features like fast cross-linking and sustained growth factor release over 14 days.
  • Studies demonstrate that the encapsulated AEC-CM significantly enhances the suppression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and promotes a shift towards the beneficial M2 macrophage phenotype, suggesting its viability as an immunomodulatory treatment for tissue regeneration.

Conditional Relay Activation of Theranostic Prodrug by Pretargeting Bioorthogonal Trigger and Fluorescence-Guided Visible Light Irradiation.

Bioorthogonalized light-responsive click-and-uncage platform has enabled precise cell surface engineering and timed payload release, but most of such photoactivatable prodrugs have "always-on" photoactivity leading to the dark toxicity. On the other hand, the conditionally activatable photocage is limited to the application of fluorogenic probe/photosensitizer liberation. Herein, we devise a conditionally activatable theranostic platform based on the tetrazine (Tz)-boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) construct, in which tetrazine serves as a quencher motif to disable both the fluorescence and photoresponsivity of BODIPY.
