A series of multi-doped yttrium pyrosilicate (YPS) nanoparticles were synthesized using a high temperature multi-composite reactor, and used to explore the radioluminescent properties that have potential for biological applications. The luminescent activators explored in this work were cerium, terbium, and europium. A series of mono-doped YPS nanoparticles were synthesized that have optical and X-ray luminescent properties that span the entire visible spectrum. Energy transfer experiments were investiagted to increase the photo- and X-ray luminescence of terbium and europium. Cerium was used as a sensitizer for terbium where X-ray luminescence was enhanced. Similar results were also obtained using cerium as a sensitizer and terbium as an energy bridge for europium. By leveraging different energy transfer mechanisms X-ray luminescence can be enhanced for YPS nanoparticles.

Herein, a β-1,3--glucan based yeast cell wall loaded with co-loaded nanoparticles of Rhein (RH) and Emodin (EMO), was developed for the combined treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) by modulating gut microbiota and the Th17/Treg cell balance. This was achieved through an oral "nano-in-micro" advanced drug delivery system. Specifically, RH was grafted onto the HA chain via disulfide bonds to synthesize a reduction-sensitive carrier material and then used to encapsulate EMO to form nanoparticles with a specific drug ratio (denoted as HA-RH/EMO NPs).

Ulcerative colitis (UC) faces some barriers in oral therapy, such as how to safely deliver drugs to the colon and accumulate in the colon lesions. Hence, we report an advanced yeast particles system loaded with supramolecular nanoparticles with ROS scavenger (curcumin) to treat UC by reducing oxidative stress state and inflammatory response and accelerating the reprogramming of macrophages. In this study, the dual-sensitive materials are bonded on β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), the D-mannose (Man) is modified to adamantane (ADA), and then loaded with curcumin (CUR), to form a functional supramolecular nano-delivery system (Man-CUR NPs) through the host-guest interaction.

The efficacy of RNA-based vaccines has been recently demonstrated, leading to the use of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines. The application of self-amplifying mRNA within these formulations may offer further enhancement to these vaccines, as self-amplifying mRNA replicons enable longer expression kinetics and more potent immune responses compared to non-amplifying mRNAs. To investigate the impact of administration route on RNA-vaccine potency, we investigated the immunogenicity of a self-amplifying mRNA encoding the rabies virus glycoprotein encapsulated in different nanoparticle platforms (solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)).

Herein, a β-1,3-d-glucan based microcarrier, yeast cell wall microparticles (YPs), was used to develop a food-source-based nano-in-micro oral delivery system for ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment. Briefly, lactoferrin (Lf), which targets intestinal epithelial cells, was used to encapsulate emodin (EMO) to form nanoparticles (EMO-NPs), and then loaded into YPs with the natural macrophages targeting ability, forming a final formula with two outer-inner targeting layers (EMO-NYPs). These dual-targeting strategy could enhance the dual-effects of EMO in anti-inflammatory and mucosal repair effects respectively.
