The primary treatment for RRD is vitrectomy, however, the postoperative requirement for a prone position, coupled with unsatisfactory retinal reattachment rates, presents a significant clinical challenge. Recent advancements in technology and material engineering have led to the development of specific biomaterials serving as retinal patches that can seal retinal breaks. Whereas, existing materials still face limitations including the need for specialized implantation instruments and complex surgical operations for certain materials, inadequate conformability to the eyeball due to relatively high material rigidity that impairs sealing performance, and poor biocompatibility. To overcome these difficulties, herein we introduce a novel fluorescent hydrogel composed of 4-arm-PEG-Mal and 4-arm-PEG-SH as a retinal sealant. This innovative material undergoes rapid gelation in response to the weakly alkaline intraocular environment following injury, enabling effective sealing of retinal breaks and the surrounding area. Furthermore, the hydrogel's inherent fluorescent property provides enhanced intraoperative visibility. Evaluated in a rabbit model of retinal detachment, the hydrogel demonstrated efficient therapeutic treatment in promoting RRD repair, while offering significant visual and surgical advantages. In conclusion, the retinal break-sealing hydrogel developed in this work presents a promising new strategy for the treatment of RRD, with considerable potential for clinical translation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":279,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces","volume":"262 ","pages":"Article 115473"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146076994","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}

The Ce-MOF core exhibits potent antioxidant activity, efficiently scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and restoring mitochondrial membrane potential, while its carboxylate ligands chelate Cu<sup>2 +</sup> with high efficiency (49.26 %) to inhibit Cu<sup>2+</sup>-induced Aβ fibrillation and disassemble preformed fibrils. Ce-MOF-RBC further modulates microglial phenotype, enhancing Aβ phagocytosis and reducing neuroinflammation.

In vivo fluorescence imaging and brain cryosections showed that Ce-MOF-RBC achieved robust accumulation in the cortex and hippocampus, with brain fluorescence intensities 27.33-fold higher than free DiD. In the <em>C. elegans</em> AD model, Ce-MOF-RBC reduced Aβ plaque fluorescence by 32.54 %, lowered ROS levels by 45.72 %, improved chemotaxis performance (chemotaxis index increased from 34.24 % to 68.34 %), and delayed paralysis onset from 10 h to 15 h, demonstrating significant rescue of cognitive and motor deficits.
