Cucurbit[7]uril was used to form non-covalent complexes with low-molecular-weight quaternary-ammonium compounds for their indirect analysis by MALDI-MS. By shifting the ion signals to a higher and interference-free mass region, the distributions of neurine, choline, and phosphocholine in rat brain were visualized by MALDI imaging with high selectivity and good sensitivity.

The rapid expansion of medical nanotechnology has significantly broadened the potential applications of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). While CNCs were initially developed for drug delivery, they are now being investigated for a range of advanced biomedical applications. As these applications evolve, it becomes crucial to understand the physicochemical behavior of CNCs in biologically relevant media to optimize their design and ensure biocompatibility.

Monoammonium glycyrrhizic acid (MAG), a glycyrrhizic acid monoammonium salt, is a naturally derived low-molecular-weight gelling agent with surface-active properties. It has the capacity to individually facilitate the preparation of gel-solubilized drugs. As MAG is an anionic surfactant with carboxyl groups, the addition of counterions may affect micelle formation and gelation.

Quorum sensing (QS) allows bacteria to coordinate their activities by producing and detecting low-molecular-weight signal molecules based on population density, thereby controlling the infectivity of bacteria through various virulence factors. Quorum-sensing inhibition is a promising approach to tackle bacterial communication. Cyclodextrins (CDs) are a class of cyclic oligosaccharides that reversibly encapsulate the acyl chain of the signal molecules, thereby preventing their binding to receptors and interrupting bacterial communication.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a great potential anti-tumor therapy owing to its non-invasiveness and high spatiotemporal selectivity. However, systemically administered photosensitizers diffuse in the skin and the eyes for a long duration, which cause phototoxicity to bright light and sunlight. Therefore, following PDT, patients must avoid exposure of to light and sunlight to avoid this phototoxicity.

The presence of some nonmicrobial chemicals and surfaces, herein called "soils", are known to degrade the performance of biocides, and biocidal assays often include mixtures of materials to mimic the effects of soils. We hypothesized that water-soluble anionic polychloramide biocides were less sensitive to soil interference than cationic polymeric biocides. The relationships between soil composition and antimicrobial polymer biocidal activity were compared for an anionic polychloramide, a cationic polychloramide, and a cationic poly(quaternary ammonium) biocide.
