Traditional organic light-emitting materials hinder their anti-counterfeiting application in solid state due to their aggregation-caused quenching effect. A facile and straightforward method was reported to introduce AIE molecules into microspheres and manipulate different reaction parameters to prepare AIE microspheres with different morphologies. In this strategy, fluorescent microspheres with spherical, apple-shaped, and hemoglobin-like types were synthesized. Driven by the photocyclization and oxidation of tetraphenylethene, microspheres can be used as an aqueous fluorescence ink with erasable properties. The fluorescent patterns printed by microsphere ink on paper can be irreversibly erased by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light (365 nm, 60 mw/cm). Moreover, the multi-morphology microspheres can be further arranged for multiple-information encryption and anti-counterfeiting of barcodes and two-dimensional codes, in which double validation was carried out through fluorescence spectroscopy and laser confocal microscopy. This approach provides a new method for more reliable anti-counterfeiting and information encryption.

Hyperuricemia-related diabetic wounds are notoriously difficult to treat due to elevated uric acid (UA) levels, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), and chronic inflammation. Current therapies often fail to address these underlying causes, underscoring the need for innovative approaches that not only clear UA but also mitigate inflammation and promote tissue regeneration. In this study, we developed a polyrotaxane-based microsphere (HPR MS) system conjugated with 4,5-diamino-2-thiouracil (DT) to achieve high-affinity UA clearance without increasing cytotoxicity.

Carbon dots (CDs) mediated g-CN (CN) is a promising visible-light-driven semiconductor in catalyzing peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for aqueous contaminants remediation. However, the poor dispersibility of powered catalyst and its challenging recyclability impede their broader application. Herein, we embedded FeN bridge within the g-CN framework and immobilized g-CN gel beads (CA/FNCCN) through a 3D cross-linking process with sodium alginate.

Regenerated cellulose fibers are required for widespread antibacterial applications across various fields. N-halamines have been extensively studied and are regarded as a promising candidate for antibacterial purposes. In this work, we focus on investigating the chlorination performance of urea-formaldehyde resin microspheres (UFRs) and using them as antibacterial additives incorporated into the spinning dope to fabricate antibacterial viscose fibers.

In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the use of polysaccharides that exhibit biological activity for a wide range of innovative applications. This is due to their nontoxicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and therapeutic properties. The diverse properties of polysaccharides derived from marine algae make them a promising strategy for the construction of drug delivery systems (DDSs).

Background: Lung cancer is a medical ailment with high mortality and prevalence rates. Artemisinin (ART) and its derivatives exhibit anti-cancer properties against various malignancies, including lung cancer. However, further research is required to determine the precise anti-cancer mechanisms of ART.
