A non-labeling fluorescence sensor system was developed using polydiacetylene (PDA) liposomes composed of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) and 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) at a 8:2 molar ratio. The PDA liposomes were immobilized onto an amine-coated glass surface using peptide bonding between the carboxyl group of the liposome and the amine group of the glass surface. The optimum ratio of the cross linker (NHS/EDC) to PDA liposome was determined to be 50% for strong immobilization of the liposomes. Residual carboxyl groups of the PDA liposomes were selectively biotinylated, followed by sequential binding of streptavidin and biotin-antibody (bioreceptor). Finally, the performance of the PDA liposome chip was tested for detecting Cryptosporidium parvum, and yielded a detection limit of 1 x 10(3) oocysts/mL. From these results, it is expected that the PDA liposome chip will have high application potential for the detection of waterborne pathogens including C. parvum.

Wound healing is a complex biological process crucial for tissue repair, especially in chronic wounds where healing is impaired. Liposomes have emerged as promising vehicles for delivering therapeutics to facilitate wound repair. Liposomes have been explored as effective carriers for therapeutic agents.

Controlled drug release systems are pivotal in optimizing therapeutic outcomes and mitigating side effects in treatment protocols. While traditional delivery vectors such as liposomes, micro/nanoparticles, and microspheres are effective, they often struggle with consistency in drug release rates. This study addresses these issues by integrating stimuli-responsive elements specifically magnetic, thermal, and pH-responsive components into drug delivery systems for precise control.

Dopamine (DA), a neurotransmitter, plays a crucial role in regulating motor functions and emotions and can serve as a marker for several diseases. In this study, we report a highly sensitive polydiacetylenes (PDA)-based dual-output sensor for dopamine detection in both solution and solid phases that was developed by modifying PDA liposomes with boronic acid groups at the termini. This sensor exploits the high affinity between the catechol residue of dopamine and the -B(OH) group of the PDA-based probe () to form boronate ester bonds, causing a stress-induced blue-to-red color change along with a steady increase in fluorescence response at λ 622 nm.

The colonisation of microorganisms such as bacteria forms a biofilm barrier on the wound's surface, preventing or delaying the penetration of antibacterial drugs. At the same time, continuous bacterial infection can cause oxidative stress and an inflammatory response and hinder angiogenesis, resulting in difficult wound healing. Based on the "one stone, three birds" strategy, a multi-functional nanoparticle composite soluble microneedle was designed and developed to solve this dilemma better.
