Probiotic strains such as <em>Lactobacillus rhamnosus</em> and <em>Lactobacillus reuteri</em> have shown potential in restoring microbial balance in the oral cavity. However, their application remains challenging due to limited survival and adherence under intraoral conditions. Thus, we aimed to develop and evaluate mucoadhesive polymer films for local probiotic delivery. <em>L. rhamnosus</em> and <em>L. reuteri</em> were microencapsulated via spray drying and embedded in films composed of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose-polyvinyl alcohol (HPMC–PVA) and foamed polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The films were characterized in terms of bacterial viability, tensile strength, folding endurance, and mucoadhesive properties. A proof-of-concept <em>in vivo</em> study was conducted by intraorally exposing enamel samples to two volunteers for eight hours, followed by confocal imaging and morphological analysis of adherent bacteria. Microencapsulation preserved high bacterial viability. The resulting films exhibited suitable mechanical properties and strong mucoadhesion. Biological evaluation revealed clear effects: films containing microencapsulated bacteria led to a statistically significant increase in adherent rod-shaped lactobacilli and a consistent reduction in coccoid bacteria associated with dysbiosis. The foamed PVA formulation showed the most pronounced modulation of the enamel-associated microbiota. These findings demonstrate that probiotic films can enable both bacterial stabilization and effective oral delivery. The system enhances colonization by beneficial bacteria while reducing potentially pathogenic cocci. This approach presents a promising strategy for microbiome-based prevention of oral diseases and merits further clinical investigation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":279,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces","volume":"255 ","pages":"Article 114886"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144335786","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}

Consequently, the accurate determination of dopamine levels is of paramount importance and has attracted considerable attention within scientific and regulatory communities. In this work, a ternary composite material (Cu-MOF/MXene/CNTs, MMC) based on copper-metal organic framework (Cu-MOF), the MXene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was developed using the hydrothermal method for sensitive electrochemical detection of DA. The prepared MMC possessed a stable structure derived from Cu-MOF, an extensive surface area attributed to MXenes, and numerous conductive channels formed by CNTs. Consequently, the modified MMC demonstrated high performance in DA detection. The electrochemical sensing capabilities of the MMC were assessed utilizing cyclic voltammetry (CV), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methodologies. Under the optimal conditions, a strong linear relationship was observed between peak current and DA concentration within the range of 0.1–50 µM, achieving a detection limit (LOD) as low as 0.035 µM. The modified MMC sensor was utilized to quantify trace concentrations of DA in actual water samples, with recovery rates ranging from 97.3 % to 103 %, indicating satisfactory performance. Experiments were conducted to demonstrate that this composite material exhibited significant selectivity for metal ions and met related objectives. It was also shown acceptable stability over a period of 30 days and a commendable reproducibility, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.3 % across different production batches. Moreover, a comprehensive investigation was undertaken into the kinetics and underlying mechanisms of the electrochemical reaction. The transfer of electrons and hydrogen ions facilitated the transformation of DA into dopaminoquinones (DQ), a process that was accelerated by the increased availability of active sites in the designed sensor. This work introduces a method for the precise detection of DA utilizing the active sites and conductive pathways offered by the synergistic effect of MOF, CNTs and MXene, which have excellent performance in both laboratory and real environment, indicating that the proposed sensor is highly effective for detecting DA in water samples.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":279,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces","volume":"254 ","pages":"Article 114882"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144306448","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}

However, its chemodynamic therapy (CDT) relies too much on cellular microenvironment's hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) level, and low-concentration reactive oxygen species (ROS) can't penetrate the bacterial membrane well, limiting antibacterial efficiency. To solve this, we created MoS₂@<em>p</em>Cu-MOF type-II heterojunction nanocomposites to boost bacterial membrane permeability, effectively eliminating bacteria and promoting bone regeneration. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) increases membrane permeability, allowing ROS to penetrate and disrupt bacteria. The type-II heterojunction, with SDT ability, generates hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and singlet oxygen (¹O₂) independently of H₂O₂ level by promoting electron-hole pair separation, achieving high antibacterial activity. Also, heterojunction-induced microcurrents under SDT synergize with <em>PO₄³ ⁻</em> to stimulate osteogenesis. We incorporated MoS₂@pCu-MOF nanocomposites into a poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) scaffold via selective laser sintering. Under ultrasonic stimulation, bacterial membrane permeability increases.
