Consumer demand for nutritional supplements has fueled the rapid growth of the functional food market. However, ensuring the stability of functional factors in harsh environments remains a major challenge. The development of encapsulation systems is regarded as an effective method for enhancing the stability of functional factors, encapsulation carriers can offer protection for these functional factors.

Tofacitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, has emerged as a primary therapeutic agent for managing autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, dermatitis and ulcerative colitis. By inhibiting the phosphorylation of JAK enzymes, tofacitinib prevents their activation within the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, which is vital for inflammatory responses. However, the tofacitinib delivery presents significant challenges, including pH-dependent solubility, poor permeability and susceptibility to oral degradation.

Small-cell lung cancer accounts for about 15% of lung cancers with an extremely poor prognosis. The incorporation of immunotherapy to platinum-based chemotherapy offers sustained overall survival benefits and become the standard for the first-line setting of extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer. However, only a limited number of patients derive prolonged benefits.

Fatty acid can potentially serve as biomarker for evaluating metabolic disorder and inflammation condition, and quantifying the double bonds is the key for revealing fatty acid information. This study presents an assessment of a deep learning approach utilizing deep image prior (DIP) for the quantification of double bonds and methylene-interrupted double bonds of triglyceride derived from chemical-shift encoded multi-echo gradient echo images, all achieved without the necessity for network training. The methodology implemented a cost function grounded in signal constraints to continually refine the neural network's parameters on a single slice of images through iterative processes.

DNA nanostructures (DNs) have gained popularity in various biomedical applications due to their unique properties, including structural programmability, ease of synthesis and functionalization, and low cytotoxicity. Effective utilization of DNs in biomedical applications requires a fundamental understanding of their interactions with living cells and the mechanics of cellular uptake. Current knowledge primarily focuses on how the physicochemical properties of DNs, such as mass, shape, size, and surface functionalization, affect uptake efficacy.
