Here, we developed core–shell nanocapsules composed of a cationized lactoferrin core and an alendronate polymer shell. By tuning the size of these nanocapsules and leveraging the alendronate shell, we enabled precise delivery of small interfering RNA targeting the Semaphorin 4D gene (siSema4D) to specific bone sites. This strategy integrates the antiresorptive drug alendronate with siSema4D, efficiently inhibiting osteoclast (OC) differentiation and bone resorption, while promoting osteogenesis to restore the balance between osteoblasts (OBs) and OCs. Moreover, encapsulating siSema4D within the nanocapsules helps to mitigate immunological cascades, thereby reversing the inflammatory microenvironment and restoring immune homeostasis and providing insights into the immunomodulatory effects of Sema4D in osteoporosis therapy. In both ovariectomized and senile osteoporotic mouse models, local intramuscular administration of core–shell nanocapsules effectively rectified the imbalance between the skeletal and immune systems, significantly enhancing the overall efficacy of osteoporosis treatment. Our findings underscore the therapeutic promise of addressing the multifaceted osteoporotic microenvironment through targeted interventions.","PeriodicalId":21,"journal":{"name":"ACS Nano","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143055495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PFAS have caused potential risks because of their persistence and bioaccumulation, consequently causing possible harm to human health and ecosystems. The fabrication of novel sensing technologies represents the game-changing strategy that can address current limitations of the conventional chromatographic techniques. This review highlights cutting-edge improvements in PFAS nano-sensor engineering, emphasizing molecular chemistry advancements in optical, electrochemical, aptamer-based, and immune-based nanosensors. Insights into tried-and-tested tactics by receiving an in-depth examination of each nano-sensor's detecting approach at the molecular level are elucidated. Potential mechanisms of interaction between PFAS and emerging nanomaterials are presented, encompassing fluorophilic interactions, electrostatic interactions, ion-bridging interactions with divalent cations, hydrophobic interactions, π-π bonds, hydrogen bonds, ionic exchange, and Van der Waals forces, in conjunction with materials such as single-atom supported nanomaterials, carbon dots, graphene, and metallic nanostructures. Using an integrated approach, the review explores current difficulties and potential in PFAS nano-sensor manufacture. Notably, it describes critical sensor development objectives and goes into what challenges were experienced during the process, thus facilitating the transfer of the most promising nano-sensor technologies into the industrial practice.","PeriodicalId":82,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Chemistry A","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143055730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One proposed mechanism to explain the origin of EED is oligomeric enzyme dissociation. We used mass photometry (MP), a label-free single-molecule technique, to investigate the dependence of the oligomeric states of several enzymes on their ligands. The studied enzymes of interest are catalase, aldolase, alkaline phosphatase, and vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (VAO). We compared the ratios of oligomeric states in the presence and absence of the substrate as well as different substrate and inhibitor concentrations. Catalase and aldolase were found to dissociate into smaller oligomers in the presence of their substrates, independently of inhibition, while for alkaline phosphatase and VAO, different behaviors were observed. Thus, we have identified a possible mechanism which explains the previously observed diffusion enhancement <i>in vitro</i>. This enhancement may occur due to the dissociation of oligomers through ligand binding.","PeriodicalId":53,"journal":{"name":"Nano Letters","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143055478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
