Precise and controlled drug delivery to treat periodontitis in patients with diabetes remains a significant clinical challenge. Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems offer a potential therapeutic strategy; however, the low loading efficiency, non-responsiveness, and single effect of conventional nanoparticles hinder their clinical application. In this study, we designed a novel self-assembled, dual responsive, and dual drug-loading nanocarrier system, which comprised two parts: the hydrophobic lipid core formed by 1, 2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-Poly (ethylene glycol) (DSPE-PEG) loaded with alpha-lipoic acid (ALA); and a hydrophilic shell comprising a poly (amidoamine) dendrimer (PAMAM) that electrostatically adsorbed minocycline hydrochloride (Mino). This unique design allows the controlled release of antioxidant/ALA under lipase stimulation from periodontal pathogens and antimicrobial/Mino under the low pH of the inflammatory microenvironment. and studies confirmed that this dual nanocarrier could inhibit the formation of subgingival microbial colonies while promoting osteogenic differentiation of cells under diabetic pathological conditions, and ameliorated periodontal bone resorption. This effective and versatile drug-delivery strategy has good potential applications to inhibit diabetes-associated periodontal bone loss.

Since its discovery, carbon quantum dots (CDs) have been widely applied in cell imaging, drug delivery, biosensing, and photocatalysis due to their excellent water solubility, chemical stability, fluorescence stability biocompatibility, low toxicity, and preparation cost. However, the low fluorescence yield and poor surface structure limit the application of CDs. Heteroatom doping is considered an ideal method to improve CDs' optical and electrical properties.

Kisspeptins function as endogenous ligands for the G protein-coupled receptor GPR54. While the primary role of the Kisspeptin/GPR54 signaling pathway pertains to reproduction, several studies have shown that GPR54 is highly expressed in breast cancer, and we further confirmed this result that GPR54 expression is significantly upregulated in breast cancer cells. Based on this finding, we developed a liposomal drug delivery system utilizing the Kisspeptin/GPR54 system to treat breast cancer after confirming the safety of Kp-10-228.

Composite gels are a type of soft matter, which contains a continuous three-dimensional crosslinked network and has been embedded with non-gel materials. Compared to pure gels, composite gels show high flexibility and tunability in properties and hence have attracted extensive interest in applications ranging from cancer therapy to tissue engineering. In this study, we incorporated triethylenetetramine (TETA)-functionalized cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (ANPs) into a hydrogel consisting of sodium alginate (SA) and methyl cellulose (MC), and examined the resulting composite gels for controlled drug release.
