Resveratrol (RSV) is a polyphenolic compound with many physiological effects. Nevertheless, the poor water solubility, chemical stability, and bioavailability of RSV severely limit its application in functional foods. Therefore, in this study, nanoparticles composed of oleanolic acid (OA), ursolic acid (UA), and RSV were successfully designed by spontaneous co-assembly to address these issues. Results showed that a novel ternary nanoscale stabilized hydrophilic particle was successfully designed with an average particle size of 239.9 nm and a drug loading of 19.77 %, which was characterized by SEM, UV, FTIR, XRD, CD and molecular dynamics analysis. These revealed hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions and hydrophobic interaction between OA, UA and RSV. At 37 °C for 4 h, OAUA-RSV NPs has a sustained release profile in gastrointestinal digestion. In addition, the encapsulated RSV greatly enhanced the antioxidant capacity and cellular uptake efficiency. This work may be beneficial for the development of functional carriers for encapsulation of RSV and the application of hydrophobically active molecules in functional foods.

Aryl diazonium electrografting is a versatile methodology for the functionalization of electrode surfaces, yet its usage has been hampered by both the short lifespan of aryl diazonium cations in aqueous solution and the harsh conditions required to generate them . This can make accessing complicated aryl diazonium cations and derivatized surfaces thereof difficult. The usage of triazabutadienes has the potential to address many of these issues as triazabutadienes are stable enough to endure multiple-step chemical syntheses and can persist for several hours in aqueous solution, yet upon UV exposure rapidly release aryl diazonium cations under mild conditions (i.

Coordination cages with specific properties and functionalities are utilized as reaction vessels for the desired chemical transformation of substrates. The symmetry and inherent cavity of coordination cages can influence the host-guest interactions and the reaction outcome in their confined space. However, the impact of the cage shape on different transformations remains unclear.

Type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients are life-long dependent on insulin therapy to keep their blood glucose levels under control. An alternative cell-based therapy for exogenous insulin injections is clinical islet transplantation (CIT). Currently the widespread application of CIT is limited, due to risks associated with the life-long use of immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection of donor cells.

Microplastics (MPs), as a global environmental issue, have unclear impacts on agricultural ecosystems. Cotton, as a major agricultural crop in Xinjiang, requires plastic film covering to ensure its yield. The widespread use of plastic film (commonly made of polyethylene) in cotton cultivation has led to significant concerns about microplastic pollution in cotton fields.
