To design and prepare a novel controlled release system for sustained release of two drugs. In this study, a double-layer microsphere was incorporated with strontium-doped calcium polyphosphate (SCPP) scaffold to facilitate bone regeneration and achieve skull repair. The double-layer microsphere combining tetracycline loaded sodium alginate and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) loaded chitosan was manufactured by electrospinning, which were further adhered to SCPP scaffold. The characteristics of microstructure were observed through scanning electron microscope. Loading efficiencies and the optimal ratio of microsphere of the obtained controlled release system were investigated. In addition, the cytotoxicity and the effects on osteoblast proliferation and expressions of osteogenesis-related factors were examined . Thereafter, the compound material with the controlled release system was implanted in the skull defect of rabbit to evaluate its properties of promoting bone regeneration. The results indicated that this novel controlled release system with SCPP scaffold and the double-layer microspheres loaded with tetracycline and MMP-2 could be a promising material for bones repair.

The proteasome degrades most superfluous and damaged proteins, and its decline is associated with many diseases. As the proteolytic unit, the 20 proteasome is assembled from 28 subunits assisted by chaperones PAC1/2/3/4 and POMP; then, it undergoes the maturation process, in which the proteolytic sites are activated and the assembly chaperones are cleared. However, mechanisms governing the maturation remain elusive.

Although cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) activation combined with programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) axis blockade have emerged as an effective strategy to improve immunotherapeutic potency, it remains challenging to realize the spatiotemporal synergy of these two components. Herein, the study reports an engineered bacterial-based delivery system that can simultaneously promote CTLs infiltration and control PD-L1 binding protein (PD-L1 trap) release on demand at tumor site. The drug release button of this tumor targeting system is the specific temperature, which is accomplished by dual-modified melanin nanoparticles with photothermal conversion capacity on the engineered bacterial.

Sjögren's syndrome-related dry eye (SSDE) is a severe dry eye subtype characterized by significant immune cell attacks on the lacrimal gland. However, delivering immunosuppressive drugs to the lacrimal glands for SSDE therapy safely and sustainably poses significant challenges in clinical practice. Herein, a ROS-responsive microneedle patch with detachable functionality (CE-MN) is developed to enable straightforward and minimally invasive administration to the lacrimal gland area by penetrating the periocular skin.

Creatine is essential for ATP regeneration in energy-demanding cells. Creatine deficiency results in severe neurodevelopmental impairments. In the brain, creatine is synthesized locally by oligodendrocytes to supply neighboring neurons.

Diabetes exacerbates periodontitis by overexpressing reactive oxygen species (ROS), which leads to periodontal bone resorption. Consequently, it is imperative to relieve inflammation and promote alveolar bone regeneration comprehensively for the development of diabetic periodontal treatment strategies. Furthermore, an orderly treatment to avoid interference between these two processes can achieve the optimal therapeutic effect.
