Mixed matrix membranes, with well-designed pore structure inside the polymeric matrix via the incorporation of inorganic components, offer a promising solution for addressing CO emissions. Here, we synthesized a series of novel metal organic cages (MOCs) with aperture pore size precisely positioned between CO and N or CH. These MOCs were uniformly dispersed in the polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1). Among them, the MOC-Ph cage effectively modulated chain packing and optimized the microporous structure of the membrane. Remarkably, the PIM-Ph-5% membrane shows superior performance, achieving an excellent CO permeability of 8803.4 barrer and CO/N selectivity of 59.9, far exceeding the 2019 upper bound. This approach opens opportunities for improving the porous structure of polymeric membranes for CO capture and other separation applications.

The superiority of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) over conventional staging methods such as computed tomography (CT) and bone scintigraphy has now been demonstrated for almost all clinical stages of prostate cancer. In primary diagnostics, PSMA-PET/CT is therefore the new standard for risk-adapted whole-body staging. At the same time, PSMA-PET/CT provides a new risk-based classification for predicting overall survival across all early and late stages of the disease.

Introduction/aims: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by pathogenic variants in the DMD gene, making muscle fibers susceptible to contraction-induced membrane damage. Given the potential beneficial action of cannabidiol (CBD), we evaluated the in vitro effect of full-spectrum CBD oil on the viability of dystrophic muscle fibers and the in vivo effect on myopathy of the mdx mouse, a DMD model.

Methods: In vitro, dystrophic cells from the mdx mouse were treated with full-spectrum CBD oil and assessed with cell viability and cytotoxic analyses.

Biomimetic bioreactor for potentiated uricase replacement therapy in hyperuricemia and gout.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol

January 2025

Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University, Institute of Clinical Immunology, Academy of Orthopedics, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.

Introduction: Uricase replacement therapy is a promising approach for managing hyperuricemia and gout but is hindered by challenges such as short blood circulation time, reduced catalytic activity, and excessive hydrogen peroxide (HO) production. These limitations necessitate innovative strategies to enhance therapeutic efficacy and safety.

Methods: We designed and synthesized RBC@SeMSN@Uri, a red blood cell-coated biomimetic self-cascade bioreactor, which encapsulates uricase (Uri) and a selenium-based nano-scavenger (SeMSN) within RBC membranes.
