Magnetic hollow mesoporous silica microspheres (MHMSs) were successfully prepared by employing yolk-shell magnetic silica spheres as the template together with the coating of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS)/hexadecyl trimethoxysilane (C(16)TMS) hybrid. The microstructure and properties of MHMSs were studied by TEM, SEM, XRD, BET, and VSM characterizations. The average diameter of MHMSs was about 300 nm and the mesoporous shell thickness was totally around 70 nm. The 11 nm magnetite nanoparticles were homogeneously embedded in the mesoporous silica shell. Meanwhile, the adsorption and separation process of Rhodamine B were carried out to demonstrate that the material could be used for the adsorbent.

Developing solution-processed Bragg mirrors with high refractive index contrasts (ΔRI) and thermal stability while ensuring time-efficient processing and scalability is challenging. We address these limitations by engineering high RI titanium dioxide nanoparticle-based layers and low RI mesoporous silicon dioxide layers, successfully stacking up to 11 layers utilizing spin coating, as well as roll-to-roll high-throughput processing. All-inorganic Bragg mirrors with high thermal stability up to 450 °C are prepared via a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) approach, achieving a high ΔRI of 0.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by infection, requiring the joint detection of multiplex biomarkers for specific diagnosis. Here, we present a chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay based on microfluidic magnetic droplets for multiplex sepsis biomarker screening. The droplet-based chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (CLIA) technology utilizes multicolor-encoded microspheres to distinguish biomarkers and mesoporous silica-loaded enzymes for signal amplification and catalytic fluorescent substrates.

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), particularly SBA15 and SBA16, provide a versatile platform due to their ordered structures, high surface area, and biocompatibility. This study investigates their role as prebiotic agents by evaluating their effect on the growth of Bacillus coagulans, an industrially significant probiotic. SEM and TEM analyses revealed that SBA15 had mesh-like hexagonal structure, while SBA16 featured hexagonal pores with tubular channels, enhancing surface area and porosity for bacterial attachment and proliferation.

mRNA-based therapies have broad applications in various disease treatments and have been applied in protein replacement therapy, gene editing, and vaccine development. Numerous research studies have been carried out aiming to increase the stability of mRNA, improve its translational efficiency, and reduce its immunogenicity. However, given mRNA's large molecular size and strong electronegativity, the safety and efficient delivery of mRNA into the target cells remains the critical rate-limiting step in current mRNA drug development.
