A novel platform for targeted on-demand prodrug ascorbic acid (AA) delivery is fabricated using a bacterial hyaluronidase sensitive graphene-mesoporous silica nanosheet@hyaluronic acid-magnetic nanoparticles as the nanocarrier to treat bacterial infections. The released AA can be converted to detrimental •OH in situ on the surface of bacteria. With the chemo-photothermal synergistic effect, the designed antibacterial system can effectively inactivate bacteria and disperse stubborn biofilm.

The overgrowth of Propionibacterium acnes and the subsequent inflammation possess critical roles during acne vulgaris development. Cath-HG, an antimicrobial peptide previously characterized for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, human protease-regulating, LPS-binding, and platelet glycoprotein VI (GPVI) inhibitory properties, has not been studied in the context of acne vulgaris. Here, Cath-HG was found to show strong anti-bacterial activities against P.

(6,9)-vomifoliol (VO) is a natural norisoprenoid of the megastigmane type derived from , an aromatic, evergreen shrub whose leaves, fruits, and aerial parts are used in traditional phytotherapy to treat oxidative stress and inflammation-related disorders. The plant is known as a rich source of essential oil and polyphenols. However, the levels of other constituents of , including VO, have yet to be explored.

Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) infection in colorectal cancer (CRC) induces chemoresistance and creates an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, compromising the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy. To address these challenges, a multifunctional MPLO@HA nanodrug was developed by conjugating metformin (Met), oxaliplatin (OxPt), and lauric acid (LA) onto oligomethyleneimine, subsequently complexed with hyaluronic acid (HA). The MPLO@HA nanodrug is designed to target Fn-infected CRC, offering multiple mechanisms for enhanced therapeutic outcomes.

Unlabelled: Ulvan is a complex sulfated polysaccharide in the cell walls of green algae with extensive applications in food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries, prompting extensive studies on ulvan, its oligosaccharides, monosaccharides, and cost-effective depolymerization methods. Our primary objectives were to investigate novel ulvan-utilizing marine bacteria, perform recombinant engineering of genes responsible for ulvan depolymerization, and determine their potential industrial applications. Samples were collected from Jeju Island, which is a South Korean region with significant excessive green algal growth, especially that of Ulva species.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a neurological condition that causes significant loss of sensory, motor, and autonomic functions below the level of injury. Current clinical treatment strategies often fail to meet expectations. Hyaluronidase is typically associated with tumor progression and bacterial infections.
