The current paper reports on the relase properties of conductive fabrics coated with proteinaceous microspheres containing a dye. The release of the dye was achieved by passing an electric current through the fabric. The conductivity of the polyester fibers resulted from nanosilver (Ag NPs) coated on the surface of these fibers. Both types of coatings (nanosilver coating and the coating of the proteinaceous microspheres) were performed using high-intensity ultrasonic waves. Two different types of dyes, hydrophilic RBBR (Remazol Brilliant Blue R) and hydrophobic ORO (Oil Red O), were encapsulated inside the microspheres (attached to the surface of polyester) and then released by applying an electric current. The Proteinaceous Microsphere (PM)-coated conductive fabrics could be used in medicine for drug release. The encapsulated dye can be replaced with a drug that could be released from the surface of fabrics by applying a low voltage.

Microalgae are highly regarded as ideal materials for the creation of liquid biofuels and have substantial potential for growth and utilization. However, traditional storage and culture methods for microalgae are plagued by challenges such as uncontrolled growth, bacterial contamination, and self-shading among algae. These issues severely impede the photosynthetic process and the efficient extraction of biomass energy.

Subvisible particles (SVPs) are a critical quality attribute of injectable therapeutic proteins (TPs) that needs to be controlled due to potential risks associated with drug product quality. The current compendial methods routinely used to analyze SVPs for lot release provide information on particle size and count. However, chemical identification of individual particles is also important to address root-cause analysis.

Self-assembly of proteinaceous biomolecules into functional materials with ordered structures that span length scales is common in nature yet remains a challenge with designer peptides under ambient conditions. This report demonstrates how charged side-chain chemistry affects the hierarchical co-assembly of a family of charge-complementary β-sheet-forming peptide pairs known as CATCH(X+/Y-) at physiologic pH and ionic strength in water. In a concentration-dependent manner, the CATCH(6K+) (Ac-KQKFKFKFKQK-Am) and CATCH(6D-) (Ac-DQDFDFDFDQD-Am) pair formed either β-sheet-rich microspheres or β-sheet-rich gels with a micron-scale plate-like morphology, which were not observed with other CATCH(X+/Y-) pairs.

Water-in-oil (w/o) Pickering emulsions have gained considerable attention in colloid science and daily applications. However, for the formation of w/o emulsions, especially those with high internal water content, the particulate stabilizers are required to be sufficiently hydrophobic, and synthetic or chemically modified particles have been mostly reported until now, which are not biocompatible and sustainable. We present a zein protein-based microsphere derived from the Pickering emulsion template, in which protein microspheres are feasibly hydrophobized by silica nanoparticles, enabling the stabilization of w/o Pickering emulsions.

Visible particles may potentially pose safety and efficacy concerns if inadvertently administered to patients; therefore, it is crucial to monitor and characterize these particles. These particles may be composed of proteinaceous or non-proteinaceous material. Although particles made of non-proteinaceous material are unacceptable in drug products, proteinaceous particles may be acceptable on a case-by-case basis if they are characterized and shown to not pose any quality, efficacy, or safety concerns.
