Efficient brain drug delivery has been a challenge in the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease and other brain disorders as blood-brain barrier (BBB) impedes most drugs to reach brain. To overcome this obstacle, we developed a novel TGN decorated erythrocyte membrane-coated poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticle (TRNNs). The nanoparticle significantly boosted the penetration (7.3 times) in a U-118MG and HCMEC/D3 cell co-culture BBB model . Living image was performed to assess the TRNNs distribution . The fluorescence intensity in the isolated brain of TRDNs-treated mice was about 8 times that of the DNs-treated. In the novel object recognition test, the mice after administration of TRDNs showed higher recognition index (0.414 ± 0.016) than the model group (0.275 ± 0.019). A significant increase in the number of dendritic spines from TRNNs administrated mice hippocampi neurons was observed after Golgi stain. This improvement of neurons was also confirmed by the significant high expression of PSD95 protein level in hippocampi. We measured the OD values of Aβ induced PC12 cells that pre-treatment with different nanoparticles and concluded that TRNNs had a robust neuroprotection effect. Above all, functional biomimetic nanoparticles could increase the accumulation of naringenin into brain, thereby enable the drug to exert greater therapeutic effects.

Cell sheet (CS)-based approaches hold significant potential for tissue regeneration, relying on the extracellular matrix (ECM) for success. Like in native tissues, the ECM provides structural and biochemical support for cellular homeostasis and function. Effective preservation strategies that maintain ECM integrity are critical to enhance the therapeutic potential of CS-based approaches.

In this study, hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSN) coated with a 4T1 tumor cell membrane were used to construct biomimetic nanomaterials (DTX@CHMSN) for the treatment of breast cancer. The nanodrug can improve the water solubility of polyenetaxel (DTX) by taking advantage of the special structure, good biocompatibility, and adjustable surface chemical properties of HMSN. Hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles are coated with 4T1 cell membranes derived from homologous tumors (CHMSN).

Low tumor enrichment remains a serious and urgent problem for drug delivery in cancer therapy. Accurate targeting of tumor sites is still a critical aim in cancer therapy. Though there have been a variety of delivery strategies to improve the tumor targeting and enrichment, biological barriers still cause most delivered guests to fail or be excreted before they work.

Bioinspired coatings that mimic the adhesive properties of mussels have received considerable attention for surface modification applications. While polydopamine chemistry has been widely used to develop functional coatings, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine (l-DOPA), a key component of mussel adhesive proteins, has received less attention because, compared to dopamine, it is relatively difficult to form effective coatings on solid substrates in mildly alkaline solutions. Although several methods have been explored to improve the efficiency of l-DOPA coatings, there is still a need to expand the l-DOPA-based surface chemistry.

The ability to identify unknown risks is the key to improving the level of food safety. However, the conventional nontargeted screening methods for new contaminant identification and risk assessment remain difficult work. Herein, a toxic-oriented screening platform based on high-expression epidermal growth factor receptor HEK293 cell membrane-coated magnetic nanoparticles (EGFR/MNPs) was first used for the discovery of unknown contaminants from food samples.
