Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), four-arm, amine-terminated particles with nanometer size and spherical shape were obtained by the polymers cross-linking, via activation with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride, in a w/o emulsion. The morphology and surface charge of the final particles are strongly dependent on the molar ratio of PAA-PEG and the PAA concentration. The physicochemical characteristics correlated with the drug-loading capacity, in vitro and ex vivo release kinetics of pilocarpine hydrochloride and biocompatibility results indicate that these nanoparticles exhibit the prerequisite behavior for use as carriers of ophthalmic drugs.

Article Synopsis
- A photoelectrochemical (PEC) transducer using a composite of TiO/PpIX/Ag@CuO was developed for detecting CYFRA 21-1, a cancer biomarker.
- The composite, created by integrating TiO nanomaterials with protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) and silver-copper oxide (Ag@CuO), displays strong visible light absorption and excellent photoelectric properties.
- The sensor achieved a detection range of 0.1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL, showcasing high sensitivity, low detection limits, and a broad linear response.
Polyacrylic acid/polyethylene glycol hybrid antifouling interface for photoelectrochemical immunosensing of NSE based on ZnO/CdSe.

In this paper, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor based on ZnO/CdSe semiconductor composite material was constructed to detect neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in a super-sensitive and quantitative way. The antifouling interface composed of polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) can prevent non-specific proteins from adhering to the electrode surface. As an electron donor, ascorbic acid (AA) can increase the photocurrent's stability and intensity by clearing away photogenerated holes.

Background: Carbon monoxide (CO) is an important signaling molecule participating in multiple biological functions. Previous studies have confirmed the valuable roles of CO in cancer therapies. If the CO concentration and distribution can be controlled in tumors, new cancer therapeutic strategy may be developed to benefit the patient survival.

Developing a self-reporting bioadhesive patch that has strong adhesion to the wet tissues and meanwhile can avoid adhering to the adjacent tissues is a current research difficulty and challenge. In this paper, inspired by the wet adhesion of spider web, slippery surface of Nepenthes, and structural color phenomena of chameleons, a novel structural color medical patch with surface dual-properties of wet bioadhesion and slipperiness for internal tissue repair based on inverse opal scaffold is presented. The adhesive surface made by poly(acrylic acid)-polyethylene glycol-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester and gelatin hydrogel can attain tough adhesion to internal wet tissues by absorbing tissue interfacial water and the covalent cross-linking between the hydrogel and tissue.
