Approaching Two Decades: Biomolecular Coronas and Bio-Nano Interactions.

Published: December 2024

It has been nearly two decades since the term "protein corona" was coined. This term has since evolved to "biomolecular corona" or "biocorona" to capture the diverse biomolecules that spontaneously form on the surface of nanoparticles upon exposure to biological fluids and drive nanoparticle interactions with biological systems. In this Perspective, we highlight the significant progress in this field, including studies on nonprotein corona components, lipid nanoparticles, and the role of the corona in endogenous organ targeting. We also discuss research opportunities in this field, particularly the need for improved characterization and standardization of analysis and how recent advances in artificial intelligence and ex vivo models can improve our understanding of the biomolecular corona in guiding nanomedicine design.

Purpose: The management of rectal adenocarcinoma has evolved during the last decade, shifting from a conventional neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy in all cases to a total neoadjuvant approach, especially in locally advanced tumors when a sphincter-sparing surgery has been planned. However, the exact indications and the neoadjuvant regimen with the highest response remain unresolved. We aimed to assess whether administering neoadjuvant chemotherapy before and after preoperative chemoradiotherapy could increase the pathological complete response (pCR) rates.

Nonoperative management of rectal cancer.

Front Oncol

December 2024

Colorectal Service, Department of Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, United States.

The management of locally advanced rectal cancer has changed drastically in the last few decades due to improved surgical techniques, development of multimodal treatment approaches and the introduction of a watch and wait (WW) strategy. For patients with a complete response to neoadjuvant treatment, WW offers an opportunity to avoid the morbidity associated with total mesorectal excision in favor of organ preservation. Despite growing interest in WW, prospective data on the safety and efficacy of nonoperative management are limited.

The clinical disorder traditionally known as or has been the subject of several publications over the past two decades. Now, it is understood that the problem does not lie in the posterior tibial tendon per se and may even occur without tendon injury. Studies have brought new concepts and understanding that question the views on this subject, culminating in the replacement of existing classifications with one that is more assertive and discriminative of the potential presentation patterns of the deformity.

PEDOTs-Based Conductive Hydrogels: Design, Fabrications, and Applications.

Adv Mater

December 2024

Jiangxi Provincial Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronics, Jiangxi Science & Technology Normal University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, 330013, P. R. China.

Conductive hydrogels combine the benefits of soft hydrogels with electrical conductivity and have gained significant attention over the past decade. These innovative materials, including poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOTs)-based conductive hydrogels (P-CHs), are promising for flexible electronics and biological applications due to their tunable flexibility, biocompatibility, and hydrophilicity. Despite the recent advances, the intrinsic correlation between the design, fabrications, and applications of P-CHs has been mostly based on trial-and-error-based Edisonian approaches, significantly limiting their further development.
