The remedy for infected chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers is more complicated particularly in the case of patients with an inefficient immune system. Also, fighting against microbial infections in the wound site by available antibiotics may not be effective because of emerging antibiotic resistance properties among pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Recently, applications of micro- and nanoformulations of biomaterials have demonstrated improved therapeutic abilities for wound dressings. In this way, carboxymethyl, dialdehyde, and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl-oxidized celluloses are common biomaterials having outstanding physicochemical and therapeutic properties compared to unmodified cellulose. Therefore, in this review, recent progress in the field of wound healing and antimicrobial activities of these derivatives are presented and discussed.

Clinical Implications of Proton Pump Inhibitors and Vonoprazan Micro/Nano Drug Delivery Systems for Gastric Acid-Related Disorders and Imaging.

Article Synopsis
- Gastric acid-related disorders like peptic ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are primarily caused by excessive stomach acid or bacterial infections, and can be treated with medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and vonoprazan.
- While PPIs work by irreversibly blocking the proton pump in stomach cells, vonoprazan inhibits acid secretion by targeting the potassium-competitive acid blocker receptor, making it one of the most effective options for GERD.
- The review highlights various innovative micro/nano formulations of these medications, as well as the crucial role of imaging techniques like CT scans and endoscopy in diagnosing and managing these gastric acid disorders.

Nanoformulation have been widely used in skin and transdermal drug delivery. However, the differences in integral nanoparticles absorption in healthy and diseased skin have not yet fully analyzed. The present study attempted to explore the percutaneous absorption of drugs via lesional skin by using atopic dermatitis (AD) as a model, dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) induced AD-like skin.

Article Synopsis
- * The research focuses on the potential protective effects of vildagliptin (VLD) and its nanoparticles against oxidative stress-induced brain damage, with various nanoparticles synthesized and evaluated for their effectiveness.
- * Results indicated that both VLD and its nanoformulations showed significant antioxidant properties, improving brain health in diabetic rats, with the bimetallic Se@Au nanoparticles providing the most protection.
Scalable Copper Sulfide Formulations for Super-Resolution Optoacoustic Brain Imaging in the Second Near-Infrared Window.
Small Methods
October 2024
Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology and Institute for Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Medicine, University of Zurich, Zurich, 8057, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- Optoacoustic imaging is a powerful technique for studying blood vessels and blood flow in the brain, surpassing the limitations of traditional optical microscopy in terms of depth and resolution.
- Using copper sulfide (CuS) at the second near-infrared (NIR-II) range improves imaging but presents challenges like low hemoglobin absorption and the need for suitable contrast agents.
- The introduction of CuS nanoparticles enhances blood perfusion imaging in mice, while calcium carbonate microparticles with CuS enable detailed imaging of small blood vessels and measuring blood flow speed.
Novel nanoformulation for enhanced amphotericin B efficacy and sustained release using vetiver root cellulose nanofibers against Candida albicans.

The formidable antifungal agent, Amphotericin B, is well-known for its potency; however, its clinical application has been significantly limited due to toxicity and poor solubility. This study aims to address these challenges by developing and evaluating a novel nano-cellulose-based formulation of Amphotericin B to enhance its efficacy. Amphotericin B was encapsulated within cellulose nanofibers at varying ratios to optimize formulation parameters, including drug concentration, particle size, zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency.
