The skin is highly susceptible to developing various lesions, including ulcers and wounds, because it is constantly exposed to the external environment. Wounds can attenuate skin function, with subsequent complications and further severe implications. Wound healing is a crucial process and remains a complex biological process, often hindered by challenges such as infection, chronic inflammation, and impaired tissue regeneration. Conventional therapies, despite their widespread use, face limitations in terms of efficacy, targeted delivery, and patient compliance. The present review explores the main roles of lipid-based vesicular delivery systems, including ethosomes, liposomes, niosomes, novasomes, and solid lipid nanoparticles, as promising wound-healing delivery systems. A comprehensive analysis of wound classifications, key factors influencing the healing process, conventional and emerging novel therapeutic approaches, and the application of vesicular delivery systems in wound management was conducted. Additionally, the diverse bioactive agents transported through these systems were examined along with characterization techniques, challenges, scalability, and opportunities associated with their clinical translation. Furthermore, future directions in optimizing vesicular platforms for enhanced therapeutic efficacy and wound regeneration have been explored, highlighting the need for advanced strategies to overcome existing limitations and improve patient outcomes. This review underscores the transformative potential of vesicular systems for revolutionizing wound-healing therapies while addressing existing limitations and exploring pathways for future progress.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":279,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces","volume":"256 ","pages":"Article 115046"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144852486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study conducts a meta-analysis of 1283 assessment scenarios, reporting life cycle GHG emissions for 101 hydrogen production routes. Routes with notably low emissions are identified, such as biomass and biofuel utilization with carbon capture and storage (CCS), natural gas reforming with CCS, waste-derived hydrogen, and renewable energy-driven electrolysis. In contrast, biological routes show high variability, with some among the highest emitters. Background energy sources and feedstock composition are identified as key influencing factors. Additionally, 53 routes with emissions lower than steam methane reforming (SMR) are analyzed for substitution factors and levelized costs of GHG mitigation, with 17 routes emerging as promising options for GHG reduction, particularly those utilizing waste or biomass with CCS. Our findings highlight the need for localized strategies that optimize renewable resources and energy use to achieve cost-effective GHG reductions in hydrogen production.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144851231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we adopt an alternative approach to the conventional use of DOM as a bulk material by subjecting our synthesized CRAM compounds to simulated solar irradiation and microbial incubation experiments alongside molecules with chosen biological or chemical relevance. Irradiation experiments typically showed that compounds bearing only carboxylic acids and/or alcohols on a saturated carbon backbone were the most resistant to photochemical degradation but also that some of the investigated CRAM analogues were notably more stable in the presence of DOM. Within microbial incubations, all of our synthesized CRAMs were entirely stable after 8 months in various aquatic settings.

The energetically stable AB/BA-stacked bilayer hosts coexisting triferroic orders: antiferromagnetism, ferrovalley, and out-of-plane ferroelectricity. The interlayer-sliding-induced AB to BA transition enables non-volatile ferroelectric bistability via polarization reversal. The magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) confirms magnetoelectric coupling between sliding ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetism. Valley polarization reversal is achieved by electric-field-driven polarization switching or magnetic-field-controlled magnetization direction flipping, inducing a significant stacking-dependent anomalous valley Hall effect (AVHE) and spin currents.
