However, its poor water solubility and bioavailability significantly limit its efficacy. Taking inspiration from biomimetic biology, this study developed a nasal drug delivery system comprising macrophage membrane (Mϕ)-encapsulated Ast-loaded nanoparticles (Mϕ@Ast-NPs) for the treatment of ALI.

An aging population accompanied with increasing incidence of comorbidities, foreshadows a worsening of this socio-economic problem. Conventional treatments for non-healing bone defects prove ineffective for 5%-10% of fractures. Those challenges not only increase the patient's burden but also complicate medical intervention, underscoring the need for more effective treatment strategies and identification of patients at risk before treatment selection. To address this, our proteomic meta-analysis aims to identify universally affected proteins and functions in the context of bone regeneration that can be utilized as novel bioactive biomaterial functionalizations, drug targets or therapeutics as well as analytical endpoints, or biomarkers in implant design and testing, respectively. We compiled 29 proteomic studies covering cellular models, extracellular vesicles, extracellular matrix, bone tissue, and liquid-biopsies to address different tissue hierarchies and species. An innovative, integrated framework consisting of data harmonization, candidate protein selection, network construction, and functional enrichment as well as drug repurposing and protein scoring metrics was developed. To make this framework widely applicable to other research questions, we have published a detailed tutorial of our meta-analysis process. We identified 51 proteins that are potentially important for bone healing.
