Background: Environmentally responsive nanoscale biocide delivery system enhances smart, regulated, and synergistic biocide application with precise biocide release. In this study, pectin-modified dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs) was used as a carrier to successfully construct a microenvironment-responsive (pH, temperature and enzyme) eugenol nano-biocide delivery system for the control of Ralstonia solanacearum infection.
Results: The results showed that the specific surface area, pore size and surface activity of DMSNs significantly influence the biocide loading of eugenol, and the biocide loading capability was up to 72.50%. Eu@DMSNs/Pec had significant pH and pectinase stimulating effects, with varying release amounts under different temperature conditions. Compared with eugenol alone, Eu@DMSNs/Pec significantly enhanced the efficacy of eugenol. DMSNs assisted eugenol to induce peroxidation damage, produce ROS (•O, •OH and O), achieve synergistic antibacterial effects, and had better rain erosion resistance and foliar retention rate based on pectin wettability and adhesion. Eu@DMSNs/Pec-FITC showed demonstrated efficient transport characteristics in tomato roots, stems and leaves, which enhanced the control effect on tomato bacterial wilt. In addition, Eu@DMSNs/Pec exert minimal influence on tomato seed germination and root growth, and have low toxicity to non-target organisms such as earthworms. Therefore, Eu@DMSNs/Pec environment-responsive nano-controlled release nanocarrier can effectively achieve accurate biocide release and reduce biocide dosage.
Conclusion: This work not only provides a pectin-modified DMSNs-based eugenol nanoscale biocide delivery system in response to specific environmental conditions of R. solanacearum infection but also elucidates the eugenol biocide loading, selective release ability and antibacterial mechanism of the system.

The lack of precise, real-time analytical tools for monitoring tumor microenvironment changes during treatment hinders advancements in integrated diagnostic and therapeutic platforms. Traditional caspase-3 monitoring strategies are limited by their inability to address drug resistance and newly discovered apoptotic pathways, leading to reduced accuracy and practicality. To overcome these limitations, we developed a fluorescence-based "Trojan horse" nanosystem, PFpR@CM, featuring high-sensitivity Caspase-1 detection, tumor-targeted delivery, and photothermal therapy.

Improvements in tumor therapy require a combination of strategies where targeted treatment is critical. We developed a new versatile nanoplatform, MA@E, that generates high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with effective photothermal conversions in the removal of tumors. Enhanced stability liposomes were employed as carriers to facilitate the uniform distribution and stable storage of encapsulated gold nanorods (AuNRs) and Mn-MIL-100 metal-organic frameworks, with efficient delivery of MA@E to the cytoplasm.

Agrochemicals play a pivotal role in the management of pests and diseases and the way agrochemicals are utilized exerts significant impacts on the environment. Ensuring rational application and improving utilization rates of agrochemicals are major demands in developing green delivery systems. Herein, a model of nucleic acid-peptide coacervate (NPC) for agrochemical delivery is presented, which is formed by mixing negatively charged single-stranded DNAs with positively charged poly-L-lysine.

Elucidating in vivo lipolysis is crucial for clarifying the underlying mechanisms and in vivo fates of lipid-based nanocarriers, which are essential oral drug delivery carriers. Current mainstream methodologies use various in vitro digestion models to predict the in vivo performance of lipid formulations; however, their accuracy is often impeded by the complicated environment of the gastrointestinal tract. Although fluorescence labeling with conventional probes partly reveals the in vivo translocation of lipid nanocarriers, it fails to elucidate the lipolysis process because of poor signal discrimination among nanocarriers, free probes, and mixed micelles (lipolysis end-products).
