Hematoxylin (HT) is a natural staining dye used in histopathology, often combined with Eosin for H&E staining. A poly(hematoxylin-co-l-lysine) (p(HT-co-l)) nanonetwork was synthesized through a one-step Mannich condensation reaction using formaldehyde as a linking agent. The resulting p(HT-co-l) nanogels had an average size of about 200 nm and exhibited a smooth surface and desirable functional groups such as -OH, -NH, and -COOH, as recognized by FT-IR analysis.

Acyclovir (ACV) is a potentially effective antiviral medication; however, it has a serious drawback, which is its poor solubility, bioavailability, and short half-life. The goal of this study is to improve its drawbacks through the synthesis of nanogels. In this study, the cross-linked hyaluronic acid-grafted poly(acrylamide--itaconic acid) nanogel is synthesized successfully through free radical polymerization and used as a safe pH-responsive carrier for ACV.

Chemotherapy is the primary therapy for colorectal cancer. However, its efficacy has been limited by chemoresistance, which is mainly caused by inadequate intratumoral drug accumulation and immunosuppressive microenvironments. To address these limitations, we developed a low-intensity ultrasound (LIU)-controlled and charge-reversible nanogel (R-NG), utilizing conjugated chitosan-polypyrrole polymers linked via thioketal bonds, with TiO absorbed onto its surface.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) nanogels have attracted widespread attention, aiming to improve cancer treatment paradigms and overcome the limitations of free-form drugs. However highly hydrophilic nature of HA nanogels limits their potential application where amphiphilic interactions are required for the delivery of hydrophobic drugs. In this study, we developed amphiphilic structure oxaliplatin (OXA) loaded oligo-hyaluronic acid (oHA)-PEG-Octane nanogel using stable disulfide bonds with ultrasonic re-emulsion method.

Enhanced anti-bacterial properties and thermal regulation are realized in cotton fabrics cross-linked with hybrid poly(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate-co-oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol methacrylate) nanogels containing gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), denoted as hybrid P(MA-co-MA-co-EGMA)/Au nanogels. Pure P(MA-co-MA-co-EGMA) nanogels are synthesized by emulsion polymerization as carriers and then embedded with Au NPs via in-situ reduction. By applying 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid as a cross-linker and changing the amount of hybrid P(MA-co-MA-co-EGMA)/Au nanogels in solution, the weight gain ratios of hybrid nanogels on cotton fabrics are set as 10 % (CHN-10) and 20 % (CHN-20).
