The design of bioactive plasters is of major interest for the amelioration of dental and bone cements. In this article, a one pot and environmentally friendly strategy based on the addition of a cheap polyphenol-tannic acid (TA) or the main phenolic constituent of TA, namely pyrogallol (PY)- able to interact with calcium sulfate is proposed. Tannic acid and pyrogallol not only modify the morphology of the obtained plaster+TA/PY composites but a part of it is released and provides strong-up to twenty fold- antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus. It is shown that the higher antibacterial efficiency of PY is related to a greater release compared to TA even if in solution the antibacterial effect of PY is lower than that of TA when reported on the basis of the molar concentration in PY units.

Delivering protein drugs to the central nervous system (CNS) is challenging due to the blood-brain and blood-spinal cord barrier. Here we show that neutrophils, which naturally migrate through these barriers to inflamed CNS sites and release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), can be leveraged for therapeutic delivery. Tannic acid nanoparticles tethered with anti-Ly6G antibody and interferon-β (aLy6G-IFNβ@TLP) are constructed for targeted neutrophil delivery.

Black oilseed crops are rich in diverse phenolic compounds and have excellent antioxidant activities, as reported in traditional Chinese medicine. Testa (seed coat) and peeled seeds (cotyledon, embryo, and other structures) are the seed's crucial components, contributing to the variation in phytonutrient, phenol content, bioactive component, and protective and pharmacological effects. However, comprehensive and comparative information on total phenol, flavonoid, antioxidant, and metabolic profiles in black seed testa and peeled sesame, soybean, peanut, and rapeseed seeds is rare.

Despite the success of global vaccination campaigns, vaccine access in low-resource settings is an ongoing challenge. Subunit vaccines are a well-established and clinically scalable intervention, yet they have achieved limited success for poorly immunogenic antigens such as those associated with SARS-CoV-2. Delivery strategies that promote gradual release of subunit vaccines from the injection site offer the potential to improve humoral immunity by enhancing lymph node exposure, however, clinical implementation of this strategy is challenging due to poor scalability and high costs.
