Further exploration shows that the Cep@TCPP-MOF treatment induces pronounced pyroptosis, which leads to HCC inhibition. To sum up, sonodynamic-chemotherapy nanoplatforms, composed by Cep-loaded TCPP-MOF are developed, which have sonodynamic responsiveness to release Cep and TCPP.

The combination of Gel-SeHA with PLGA provides abundant biomineralization sites and osteogenic activities. Incorporation of STL1267, currently the safest and most effective small molecule compound targeting REV-ERBs, enables sustained release that mitigates the severe fluctuations of inflammatory cytokines under LPS stimulation. Specifically, it reduces the levels of IL-6, TNF, and IL-1β by over 30% at critical circadian time points, thereby restoring their normal rhythmic expression. This promotes macrophage polarization toward anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes favorable for osteogenesis.

Electrostatic interactions between mRNA and the ionizable cationic lipid, combined with hydrophobic interactions among all lipids, lead to self-assembly into LNPs that accommodate the mRNA in their core. In this study, whether mixing mRNA with pre-formed, empty LNPs (eLNPs) in an aqueous medium can be a viable alternative for mRNA expression is investigated. It is confirmed that mRNA can associate with eLNPs via electrostatic interactions, with the effectiveness of this association depending on the surface charge of the eLNPs and the ionizable lipid component. Furthermore, post-loading mRNA into eLNPs demonstrates mRNA expression levels comparable to conventional LNP(mRNA) formulations, both in vitro and in mice. This method of leveraging eLNPs offers a practical alternative to conventional LNP(mRNA) formulation for the rapid screening of multiple mRNAs.
