Chronic inflammation caused by invasive bacterial infections severely interferes with the normal healing process of skin regeneration. Hypoxia of the infection microenvironment (IME) seriously affects the antibacterial effect of photodynamic therapy in phototherapy. To address this serious issue, a nanocatalytic hydrogel with an enhanced phototherapy effect consisting of a hydrogel polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) scaffold, MXene/CuS bio-heterojunction, and polydopamine (PDA) for photothermal antibacterial effects and promoting skin regeneration is designed. The MXene/CuS bio-heterojunction has a benign photothermal effect. Singlet oxygen (O) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were generated under near-infrared light, which made the hydrogel system have good antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The addition of PDA further improves the biocompatibility and endows the nanocatalytic hydrogel with adhesion. Additionally, in vivo assays display that the nanocatalytic hydrogel has good skin regeneration ability, including ability to kill bacteria, and promotes capillary angiogenesis and collagen deposition. This work proposes an approach for nanocatalyzed hydrogels with an activated IME response to treat wound infections by enhancing the phototherapeutic effects.

Intractable infected wound caused by drug-resistant bacteria remains a severe healthcare problem. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based nanocatalytic therapy (ROS-NT) is harnessed to combat drug-resistant bacterial infection. However, it can also cause immune imbalance and excessive inflammatory responses, postponing subsequent wound healing process.

Although chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) based on a variety of nanoparticles have been developed to achieve effective anti-bacterial therapy, the limited therapeutic efficiency of CDT alone, as well as the undifferentiated damage of PTT to both bacteria and surrounding healthy tissue are still challenges for their clinical application of infected wounds treatments. In addition, during the CDT and PTT-mediated antimicrobial processes, the endogenous macrophages would be easily converted to pro-inflammatory macrophages (M1 phenotype) under local ROS and hyperthermia to promote inflammation, resulting in unexpected suppression of tissue regeneration and possible wound deterioration. To address these problems, a biodegradable sodium alginate/hyaluronic acid hydrogel loaded with functional CeO-Au nano-alloy (AO@AC) is fabricated to not only achieve precise and efficient antibacterial activity through infection-environment dependent photothermal-chemodynamic therapy but also rapidly eliminate the excess reactive oxygens (ROS) in the M1 type macrophage at the infected area to induce their polarization to M2 type for significant inhibition of inflammation and remarkable enhancement of tissue regeneration, hopefully developing an effective strategy to treat infected wound.

Article Synopsis
- Current anti-obesity medications have limited effectiveness and side effects because they target the brain or digestive system, rather than directly addressing fat tissue.
- This research presents a new therapy using Prussian blue nanoparticles applied through a skin patch that actively remodels white fat tissue, promoting weight loss and improved metabolism.
- In tests on fat cells and obese mice, this therapy significantly reduced fat mass and improved metabolic health while showing promising safety outcomes, offering a potential new approach to treat obesity and related conditions like type 2 diabetes.

Diabetic wound treatment continues to be a significant clinical issue due to higher levels of oxidative stress, susceptibility to bacterial infections, and chronic inflammatory responses during healing. We rationally developed and synthesized an ultra-small carbon dots (C-dots) loaded with zinc single-atom nanozyme (Zn/C-dots) with the aim of promoting wounds healing by nanocatalytic treatment, especially targeting its complex pathological microenvironment. Zinc single atoms and C-dots form a dual catalytic system with higher enzymatic activity.

Intractable infected microenvironments caused by drug-resistant bacteria stalls the normal course of wound healing. Sono-piezodynamic therapy (SPT) is harnessed to combat pathogenic bacteria, but the superabundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during SPT inevitably provoke severe inflammatory response, hindering tissue regeneration. Consequently, an intelligent nanocatalytic membrane composed of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and black phosphorus /VC MXene bio-heterojunctions (2D-bioHJs) is devised.
