Probiotic powder using a single protective method during freeze-drying is insufficient vitality because it lacks adequate protection. Here we developed a protection strategy through biointerfacial phenolic self-assembly to enhance the protection of excipients for probiotics to address existing challenges during freeze-drying. This strategy could strengthen the connections of excipients and phenolic protective layers containing hydroxyl groups with water molecules, improving the hydration layer's preservation and shielding bacteria from damage. The results indicated that, compared with origin probiotics, protected probiotics maintained higher viability at approximately 91 % and higher ATPase activity and exhibited a better survival rate in various environmental challenges after freeze-drying. The broad applicability of this protection strategy was confirmed across other LAB strains. Additionally, the protected probiotics demonstrated superior shelf life during 30 days of storage, indicating promising prospects for preparing bacterial powder via freeze-drying.

The common excipient, N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), prevents imminent endotoxin-induced preterm birth in mice. The present study hypothesized that DMA forestalls preterm birth to term (defined as day 18.5 or later) by attenuating bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced maternal systemic inflammatory responses and cervix remodeling.

Doxorubicin (Dox) is a potent chemotherapeutic agent commonly used in cancer treatment. However, cardiotoxicity severely limited its clinical application. To address this challenge, a novel self-assembled nanomedicine platform, PMDDH, is developed for the co-delivery of Dox and metformin, an antidiabetic drug with cardioprotective and anti-tumor properties.

In 2020, Rainbow trout production reached 959,600 tons, representing 4 % of the global trout output. However, microbial contamination and lipid and protein oxidation spoil around 15 % of total aquatic products. Traditional food preservatives, used for their antibacterial or antioxidant properties, often fall short due to the disparity between the radical-scavenging ability of antioxidants and the ROS-generating capability of antimicrobial agents.

: Surface enrichment of hydrophobic excipients via spray drying has been demonstrated as an efficient way to protect the dry powder inhaler formulations against moisture-induced deterioration in aerosol performance. However, the impact of such surface enrichment on dissolution and cellular uptake is less investigated, which can affect the safety and efficacy of dry powder inhalers (DPIs). : In the present work, hygroscopic colistin was coated with leucine or trileucine, at different weight ratios during spray drying.
