The efficiency of guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) addition in the suppression of gel formation and the extraction of lysozyme during reverse micellar extraction from chicken egg white was investigated. A low concentration of GuHCl in the feed permitted the successful extraction of lysozyme in its native form without gel formation, which is perceived as a novel function of GuHCl. The highest recovery and specific activity of lysozyme were obtained at a GuHCl concentration of 0.06 M in 25 mM AOT reverse micellar extraction from 20-fold-diluted natural chicken egg white. Lysozyme and ovalbumin CD spectra in the corresponding GuHCl aqueous solutions revealed no changes in the higher order structures of the proteins. Furthermore, the specific activity of lysozyme in the feed was well preserved in the GuHCl system.

TY1, a synthetic non-coding RNA (ncRNA) bioinspired by small Y RNAs abundant in extracellular vesicles (EVs), decreases cGAS/STING activation in myocardial infarction and thereby attenuates inflammation. Motivated by the concept that heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a systemic inflammatory disease, we tested TY1 in a murine model of HFpEF. Intravenous TY1, packaged in a transfection reagent, reversed the cardiac and systemic manifestations of HFpEF in two-hit obese-hypertensive mice, without inducing weight loss.

Micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) has proven beneficial efficiency and ecological impact for routine quality control activities. In the proposed study, cyrene was investigated for the first time, together with other green additives, as a novel safe organic solvent in reversed-phase MLC. Quality-by-design (QbD) approach screened their effect on the separation performance.

Pyrene fluorescence in aqueous solutions of two surface active ionic liquids, namely, 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, and 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride was investigated in presence of a biopolymer sodium alginate. The principal objective of this study was to explore the influence of the length of the hydrocarbon tails of these surface active ionic liquids on the possible location of the probe (pyrene) molecules in presence of the additive. While an abrupt decrease in the values of the ratio of the intensity of the first vibronic band to that of the third band of pyrene emission spectrum with concentration was observed for 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride in presence of sodium alginate like the polymer-free case reported earlier, there was a peculiar reversal for 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride + sodium alginate.

The chemistry of the on-water surface, characterized by enhanced reactivity, distinct selectivity, and confined reaction geometry, offers significant potential for chemical and materials syntheses. However, the utilization of on-water surface synthesis is currently limited by the requirement for a stable air-water interface, which restricts its broader synthetic applications. In this work, we present a approach that mimics on-water surface chemistry using micelles.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an inevitable phase of many respiratory diseases with high mortality and limited effective treatments in the clinic. In PF, aberrant extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition is a significant pathological structural alteration that blocks intercellular crosstalk and hinders the deep penetration of therapeutics into lung tissues, reducing the effectiveness of conventional treatment strategies. Herein, a penetrating enhancer (Lipo) composed of thermosensitive liposome shells loaded with collagenase IV and micellar cores containing thioketal bonds encapsulated with curcumin and decorated with cyclic RGDfc, is developed to alleviate PF.
