The increasing popularity of online food delivery has provided multiple job opportunities. Although food delivery riders benefit from work flexibility, they face occupational risk and suffer accidents and injuries. This study attempts to provide a new perspective on protective measures for delivery riders by examining the causes of injuries at the individual level. A respondent-driven sampling method was used to control data bias, and a total of 1092 online food delivery riders in Beijing, Shanghai and Jinan participated in the survey. The results indicated that: good personal norms are negatively related to non-fatal occupational injury among riders; perceived risk mediates this relationship; and safety attitudes moderate the relationship. These results may help platform enterprises to voluntarily implement more effective and comprehensive measures to ensure the safety of riders, while also inspiring government when developing labor protection regulation for riders.

The utilization of plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (ELNs) as nanocarriers for oral delivery of bioactives has garnered significant attention. However, their distinctive lipid membrane composition may result in elevated membrane permeability within the gastrointestinal environment, leading to the leakage of carried bioactives. Inspired by the concept of projectile design, Tartary buckwheat-derived ELNs (TB-ELNs) based dual-carriers are fabricated by loading chlorogenic acid (CGA) into the cores and bonding selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) to the lipid membrane.

Objective: The authors sought to explore the skin deglycation ability of rosemary extract dietary supplements to support skin health and improve the signs of skin aging.
Methods: A PubMed literature search for English-language articles on rosemary extract effects on glycation and skin aging in clinical and/or preclinical settings was conducted.
Results: Endogenous and exogenous glycative stress and reactive oxygen species lead to the accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), accelerating skin aging.

Silibinin (CHO), a notable bioactive flavonolignans, is recognized for its anticancer properties. However, due to its poor water solubility, the objective of this study was to design and synthesize nanocarriers to enhance the solubility of silibinin for effective delivery to AGS gastric cancer cells. This study details the synthesis of PEG-OA nanoparticles for silibinin delivery to AGS cells.

A lysosome-targeting chimera (LYTAC) offers a novel strategy for degrading extracellular proteins previously considered to be undruggable by hijacking the lysosomal degradation system. However, clinical use of LYTAC has been limited due to the potential for uncontrolled degradation and systemic toxicity. Based on our previously developed genetically encoded TfR-LYTAC, here, we introduce a photothermal-inducible switch in the engineered bacterium to enable spatiotemporal expression of TfR-LYTAC.

Sodium acetate (NaA) has demonstrated potential in improving non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by targeting hepatocytes and Kupffer cells. However, its clinical application is hindered by low oral bioavailability and insufficient liver concentrations. Liposomes, with their capacity to encapsulate water-soluble drugs and be surface-modified, offer a promising solution for targeted oral drug delivery.
