The in vivo repair of ADR-induced cell damage was investigated in the DBA3 transplantable mouse lymphoma. After a single injection of 5 or 15 mg ADR/kg body weight into DBA/2J mice, the survival fraction of clonogens showed a 2.2- to 4.4-fold decrease at 12 or 18 hours post injection and returned to pretreatment levels within 6 hours. These changes were accompanied by the appearance and disappearance of DNA crosslinks and breaks. Because cell division and/or cell loss could not explain the return of clonogens to pretreatment level, the results strongly suggest repair of ADR damage in tumor cells in situ. Such an efficient repair mechanism, responding to a high toxic dose of ADR, constitutes a therapeutically unfavorable event that may contribute to drug resistance.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by high aggressiveness and recurrence rates due to the lack of effective treatment options. Piperine, a natural alkaloid extracted from black pepper, has demonstrated significant anticancer potential in recent years. Therefore, developing piperine derivatives to enhance its anticancer effects holds critical clinical significance.

Immune checkpoint (ICP) blockade has shown limited effectiveness in glioblastoma (GBM), particularly in the mesenchymal subtype, where interactions between immune cells and glioblastoma cancer stem cells (GSCs) drive immunosuppression and therapy resistance. Tailoring ICPs specific to GSCs can enhance the antitumor immune response. This study proposes the use of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encapsulating CRISPR RNAs as an in vivo screening tool for ICPs in a syngeneic model of mesenchymal GSCs.

Multifunctional hydrogels hold significant promise for promoting the healing of infected wounds but often fall short in inhibiting antibiotic-resistant pathogens, and their clinical translation is limited by complex preparation processes and high costs. In this study, a multifunctional hydrogel is developed by combining metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) formed by tannic acid (TA) and gallium ions (Ga⁺) with chitosan (CS) through a simple one-step method. The resulting CS-TA-Ga⁺ (CTG) hydrogel is cost-effective and exhibits desirable properties, including injectability, self-healing, pH responsiveness, hemostasis, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities.

The globally prevalent rotator cuff tear has a high re-rupture rate, attributing to the failure to reproduce the interfacial fibrocartilaginous enthesis. Herein, a hierarchically organized membrane is developed that mimics the heterogeneous anatomy and properties of the natural enthesis and finely facilitates the reconstruction of tendon-bone interface. A biphasic membrane consisting of a microporous layer and a mineralized fibrous layer is constructed through the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) strategy followed by a co-axial electrospinning procedure.

Volumetric muscle loss (VML) refers to muscle tissue loss exceeding 20% within a functional area due to trauma or surgery, often leading to physical disabilities. VML treatment relies on the transplantation of autologous flaps harvested from a healthy-donor site while minimizing the probability of immune rejection. However, this approach often leads to donor-site morbidity and relies on a restricted supply of muscle tissue.
