An enzyme-responsive fluorescent nanoemulsion (NE) based on lipophilic dye liquid (LDL) was developed for alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The response mechanism of the NE involved enzymatic reactions and simultaneous extraction of anions. The LDL-based NE exhibited 3.8 times higher sensitivity than plasticizer-based conventional NE. Detection limit and response range were 2.7 (U L-1) and 5-50 (U L-1), respectively. The response time was reduced to less than half that of the LDL-based membrane.

Enzymes play a significant role in mediating inflammatory and immune responses in periodontitis. Effective diagnosis, timely treatment, and continuous management of periodontal enzymes are essential to prevent undesirable consequences; however, this remains a significant challenge. Nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted significant attention in biomedicine because of their advantageous nanosized effects.

Amonafide (ANF), a topoisomerase II inhibitor and DNA intercalator, has exhibited promise in phase II trials but faces significant limitations due to adverse side effects. Here, we have developed a novel enzyme-triggered fluorogenic prodrug, AcKLP, that incorporates dual-locked enzyme activation, ensuring that the prodrug remains inactive until it confronts the unique enzymatic environment of glioblastoma cells. This approach minimizes premature activation and reduces toxicity to normal cells, with an IC > 100 μM for human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and ∼2.

Optical imaging is an indispensable tool for non-invasive visualization of biomolecules in living organisms, thereby offering a sensitive approach for disease diagnosis and image-guided disease treatment. Single-lock activatable optical probes (SOPs) that specifically switch on optical signals in the presence of biomarkers-of-interest have shown both higher detection sensitivity and imaging quality as compared to conventional "always-on" optical probes. However, such SOPs can still show "false-positive" results in disease diagnosis due to non-specific biomarker expression in healthy tissues.

Background: Chemo-immunotherapy modifies the tumor microenvironment to enhance the immune response and improve chemotherapy. This study introduces a dual-armed chemo-immunotherapy strategy combating breast tumor progression while re-polarizing Tumor-Associated Macrophage (TAM) using prodigiosin-loaded mannan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (PG@M-MNPs).
Methods: The physicochemical properties of one-step synthetized M-MNPs were analyzed, including X-ray diffraction, FTIR, DLS, VSM, TEM, zeta potential analysis, and drug loading content were carried out.
