Here, we report conductive, hydrogel-like porous polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) monoliths dressings coated with polypyrrole (PPy) using oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD). Porous PHA substrates were prepared from polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and a P4HB-containing copolymer by thermally induced phase separation and were uniformly functionalized throughout their three-dimensional architecture by this solvent-free process. The resulting PHA/PPy porous monoliths combine high water uptake with electrical conductivity and biological activity. They exhibit a swelling ratio of ∼250 %, maintaining a moist environment while preserving viscoelastic integrity. Sheet resistance ranges from 26 to 86 kΩ/sq, enabling platforms for electrical sensing in tissue repair. The composites do not induce cytotoxicity and exhibit intrinsic radical-scavenging capacity and antibacterial activity against both <em>Gram-positive</em> and <em>Gram-negative</em> bacteria. These properties are achieved without chemical derivatization of the PHA matrix. The hydrophobic PHA core provides mechanical robustness, while the conformal PPy layer imparts conductivity and bioactivity. Overall, this oCVD route provides a scalable, solvent-free strategy to engineer multifunctional, hydrogel-like porous monolith dressings that integrate moisture management, mechanical resilience, electrical conduction, and inherent antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.

However, its extremely low aqueous solubility and oral bioavailability greatly constrain its therapeutic efficacy. To overcome these limitations, we developed a novel oral nanodelivery system, NanoNAR@Glycygel, by embedding NAR nanosuspensions (NanoNAR) into a self-assembled glycyrrhizin-based hydrogel (Glycygel). The design of this delivery system improves solubility, enhances absorption, and provides synergistic hepatoprotective effects. NanoNAR, when stabilized by the natural biosurfactant glycyrrhizin, exhibited a uniform particle size of approximately 230 nm and showed markedly improved solubility in physiologically relevant media. The hydrogel network formed by Glycygel effectively encapsulated NanoNAR, further enhancing its solubility and controlled release behavior. Pharmacokinetic analyses revealed that NanoNAR@Glycygel significantly enhanced the oral bioavailability of NAR and increased its hepatic accumulation, demonstrating how the synergistic interplay between nanonization and the glycyrrhizin hydrogel matrix facilitates rapid absorption and sustained release. In a cholestatic liver injury mouse model, NanoNAR@Glycygel treatment markedly alleviated cholestasis and hepatic histopathological damage, restoring liver morphology and serum biochemical parameters to near-normal levels. Mechanistic investigations revealed for the first time that HMGB1 signaling is involved in this cholestatic liver injury, and NanoNAR@Glycygel exerted its potent therapeutic effect by inhibiting this signaling. The NanoNAR@Glycygel cloud also reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and enhanced superoxide (SOD) activity, thereby mitigating oxidative injury. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that NanoNAR@Glycygel is a safe, simple, and highly effective oral delivery platform that not only unleashes the therapeutic potential of NAR but also highlights the distinctive advantages of glycyrrhizin-based matrices for the targeted oral delivery of hydrophobic natural bioactives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":279,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces","volume":"261 ","pages":"Article 115466"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146035620","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}

Evidence from clinical samples has demonstrated that COD is usually found as individual crystals, whereas HA tends to aggregate. Notably, MC crystal types and properties are linked to malignancy, with COD crystals being associated with benign lesions. <em>In-vitro</em> studies have shown that COD crystals can suppress cancerous behavior, whereas HA often promotes it. However, crystal–cell interactions in tumor microenvironments that may explain differential responses to COD and HA remain poorly investigated. Thus, to examine mineral–cell interactions based on cell malignancy potential and crystal type, a three-dimensional multicellular model consisting of precancerous and cancerous human cell lines was employed. Through cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM), we visualized mineral–biological interfaces and showed that cellular types and processes govern crystal aggregation patterns and distribution. Both precancerous and invasive models exhibited enhanced COD crystal packing, while HA crystals formed predominantly loose structures with notable malignancy-dependent variations. In all cases, crystals were found both extra- and intracellularly, the latter being located inside vesicles in some cases, especially for COD crystals. The predominance of intracellular vesicles containing COD crystals rather than HA crystals across both cell types may reflect enhanced cellular processes that promote reduced malignant behavior.
