Currently, there are approximately 170 million hyperuricemia patients in China. Conventional drug therapy has limited clinical benefits and may induce serious side effects. Enzyme replacement therapy has attracted much attention owing to its advantages of strong specificity, small dosage, and remarkable curative effect. Uricase is an efficient oxidase, which can oxidize uric acid to allantoin and hydrogen peroxide, to reduce the uric acid level. In this study, we used a mild biomimetic method to prepare a novel uricase and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) loaded CaHPO₄ nanoflower (uricase&HRP-CaHPO₄ nanoflower). The nanoflower was then integrated with a hyaluronic acid dissolvable microneedle system (uricase&HRP-CaHPO₄ @HA MN) to achieve transdermal drug delivery for the treatment of hyperuricemia, which has high patient compliance. In this system, the stability and catalytic activity of uricase could be improved by the CaHPO₄ nanoflower, and HRP could decompose the hydrogen peroxide to accelerate the reaction of uricase. An study demonstrated that the uricase&HRP-CaHPO₄ @HA MN could effectively reduce the uric acid level of blood as intravenous injection without side effects. Thus, this uricase&HRP-CaHPO₄ @HA MN can facilitate transcutaneous hyperuricemia treatment and provide a new alternative for the exploration of clinical treatment of hyperuricemia.

Engineering the local electronic structure of single atom catalysts (SACs) still remains challenging. In this study, a Ru-NiS single atom catalyst with a controlled S coordination environment, where Ru single atoms are implanted on a NiS nanoflower consisting of plenty of cross-linked nanosheets, has been developed a facile atom capture strategy. Using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, it has been revealed that the fine-tuned local S coordination environment can optimize the electronic structure of Ru active sites, and reduce the energy barrier of the rate-determining step for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), thus boosting the electrocatalytic activity, such as a low overpotential of 269 mV at 10 mA cm.

The present work reports a clear and improved hydrothermal methodology for the synthesis of MoSe nanoflowers (MNFs) at 210 °C. To observe the effect of temperature on the fascinating properties, the process temperature was modified by ±10 °C. The as-prepared MNFs were found to consist of 2D nanosheets, which assembled into a 3D flower-like hierarchical morphology van der Waals forces.

The chiral alcohols (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxy-butyric acid ethyl ester ((S)-CHBE) is a critical intermediate in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients. This study presents the first investigation of the efficient production of (S)-CHBE using organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (GDH-CR@HNFs) for the co-immobilization of glucose dehydrogenase (BsGDH) and carbonyl reductase (BsCR). By optimizing immobilization conditions, we significantly enhanced the catalytic activity and immobilization efficiency of the hybrid nanoflowers.

In recent years, the design of various ultrasound responsive echogenic nanomaterials offers many advantages such as deep tissue penetration, high signal intensity, colloidal stability, biocompatibility and less expensive for ultrasound-based cancer cell imaging while providing the option to monitor the progress of tumor volume during the treatment. Further, the ability of nanomaterials to combine photo-thermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy has opened a new avenue in the development of cancer theranostics for synergistic cancer therapy. Herein, we report MoS nanoflowers (NFs) surface decorated with CuS nanorods (NRs) and folic acid-derived carbon dots (FACDs) using cystine-polyethyleneimine (PEI) linker for PTT-chemotherapy.
