We created composite nanoparticles containing hydrophilic additives using a supercritical antisolvent (SAS) process to increase the solubility and dissolution properties of -resveratrol for application in oral and skin delivery. Physicochemical properties of -resveratrol-loaded composite nanoparticles were characterized. In addition, an in vitro dissolution-permeation study, an in vivo pharmacokinetic study in rats, and an ex vivo skin permeation study in rats were performed. The mean particle size of all the composite nanoparticles produced was less than 300 nm. Compared to micronized -resveratrol, the -resveratrol/hydroxylpropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC)/poloxamer 407 (1:4:1) nanoparticles with the highest flux (0.792 μg/min/cm) exhibited rapid absorption and showed significantly higher exposure 4 h after oral administration. Good correlations were observed between in vitro flux and in vivo pharmacokinetic data. The increased solubility and flux of -resveratrol generated by the HPMC/surfactant nanoparticles increased the driving force on the gastrointestinal epithelial membrane and rat skin, resulting in enhanced oral and skin delivery of -resveratrol. HPMC/surfactant nanoparticles produced by an SAS process are, thus, a promising formulation method for -resveratrol for healthcare products (owing to their enhanced absorption via oral administration) and for skin application with cosmetic products.

Peri-implant diseases, such as peri-implantitis, affect up to 47% of dental implant recipients, primarily due to biofilm formation. Current decontamination methods vary in efficacy, prompting interest in polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) for their antimicrobial and protein-specific cleaning properties. This study evaluated the efficacy of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) in decontaminating titanium dental implants by removing proteinaceous pellicle layers and resisting recontamination.

The widespread utilization of titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiONPs) in various industrial applications has raised concerns about their potential ecological risks in marine environment. Assessing the toxicity of TiONPs on primary producers is essential to understand their impact on marine ecosystem. This study investigates the acute toxicity effect of TiONPs on COR-A3 cells, focusing on structural and physiological changes that can compromise algal viability and ecological function.

The development of sophisticated nanomaterials with synergistically enhanced functionalities and applications has been greatly promoted via the construction of Janus nanoparticles with controlled compositions. In this work, we described and demonstrated the formation of Janus Au-PbS nanoparticles (NPs) by Au NPs-mediated spontaneous epitaxial nucleation and growth. The mechanism of formation of Janus Au-PbS NPs was investigated in detail.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are severe complications of diabetes, posing significant health and societal challenges. Accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and elevated glucose levels are primary factors affecting diabetic wound healing. Achieving effective treatment by reducing ROS alone is challenging, as high glucose levels continuously drive ROS production.
