Hydrolyzable tannins are known to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity, which can be used in combination with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for dermal uses. In this study, we investigated the effects of tannic acid-modified 13, 33, 46nm and unmodified 10-65nm AgNPs using the human-derived keratinocyte HaCaT and VK2-E6/E7 cell lines in the form of stationary and spheroids cultures. After exposition to tannic acid-modified AgNPs, VK2-E6/E7 cells showed higher toxicity, increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activity of JNK stress kinase, while HaCaT cell line demonstrated less ROS production and activation of ERK kinase. AgNPs internalization was detected both in the superficial and internal layers of spheroids prepared from both cell lines. Tannic acid modified AgNPs sized above 30nm did not induce DNA breaks in comet assay performed in both cell lines. Tannic acid-modified but not unmodified AgNPs down-regulated TNF-α and LPS-triggered production of IL-8 in VK2-E6/E7 but not in HaCaT cells. In summary, tannic acid-modified AgNPs sized above 30nm show good toxicological profile both in vitro and possess immunomodulatory properties useful for potential dermal applications in humans.

The excessive release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after myocardial infarction (MI) disrupts the natural healing process, leading to cardiac fibrosis and compromising patient prognosis. However, the clinical application of many antioxidant drugs for MI treatment is hindered by their poor antioxidant efficacy and inability to specifically target the heart. Here we developed a tannic acid-modified MnO nanozyme (named MnO@TA), which can achieve cardiac targeting to inhibit post-MI fibrosis and enhance cardiac function.

The development of engineered hydrogels with high strength, self-recovery, and adhesion is essential for applications requiring resistance to large deformations and cyclic loading. Herein, a triple-network (TN) hydrogel with ultrahigh compressive strength, strong adhesion, and good self-recovery was constructed by using tannic acid-modified chrome leather scrap hydrolysate as the first network, polyacrylamide as the second network, and poly-2-propenamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid as the third network. The ultrahigh (70 MPa compressive strength and 95% compression deformation) TN hydrogels were effectively created, which is attributed to the synergy of the three networks.

The use of soybean meal (SM) as an alternative to petroleum-based resins in wood-based panels offers a solution to the problem of formaldehyde release. However, inherent drawbacks of soybean meal adhesives, such as poor toughness, low bond strength, and susceptibility to mold, have hindered their further development. In this study, a novel biomass adhesive, SM-MMT@TA, was developed based on supramolecular interactions between tannic acid (TA), montmorillonite (MMT), and soybean meal.

In addition to tumor cells, M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) also promote tumor progression. Accordingly, the strategy of targeted depletion or repolarization of M2-like TAMs becomes attractive. Here, we report a dual-targeting nanoagent SAMMH to tumor cells and M2-like TAMs for combinatorial tumor treatment.

Infected chronic wounds, in particular, diabetic wounds, are hard to heal, posing a global health concern with high morbidity and mortality rates. Diabetic full-thickness wounds infected with belong to the most difficult to heal chronic infected wounds. Here, we introduced tannic acid-modified silicon-based nanoparticles (TA-SiNPs) with broad-spectrum bactericidal activity that bacteria develop minimal resistance to, and they can effectively treat full-thickness wounds in diabetic mice infected with .
