Fibroblasts play a significant role in wound healing and tissue implants at different stages, including extracellular matrix production, collagen synthesis, and wound and tissue remodeling. This study explores the synergistic interplay between photothermal activity and nanomaterial-mediated cell proliferation. The use of different graphene-based materials (GBM) in the development of photoactive bioinks is investigated. In particular, we report the creation of a skin-inspired dressing for wound healing and regenerative medicine. Three distinct GBM, namely, graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and graphene platelets (GP), were rigorously characterized, and their photothermal capabilities were elucidated. Our investigations revealed that rGO exhibited the highest photothermal efficiency and antibacterial properties when irradiated, even at a concentration as low as 0.05 mg/mL, without compromising human fibroblast viability. Alginate-based bioinks alongside human fibroblasts were employed for the bioprinting with rGO. The scaffold did not affect the survival of fibroblasts for 3 days after bioprinting, as cell viability was not affected. Remarkably, the inclusion of rGO did not compromise the printability of the hydrogel, ensuring the successful fabrication of complex constructs. Furthermore, the presence of rGO in the final scaffold continued to provide the benefits of photothermal antimicrobial therapy without detrimentally affecting fibroblast growth. This outcome underscores the potential of rGO-enhanced hydrogels in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Our findings hold promise for developing game-changer strategies in 4D bioprinting to create smart and functional tissue constructs with high fibroblast proliferation and promising therapeutic capabilities in drug delivery and bactericidal skin-inspired dressings.</p>","PeriodicalId":29799,"journal":{"name":"ACS Nanoscience Au","volume":"4 4","pages":"263–272 263–272"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acsnanoscienceau.4c00006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142010490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In single-molecule transport studies, large amounts of data that probe a wide range of physical and chemical behaviors are often generated. However, due to the stochasticity of these experiments, a substantial fraction of the data may consist of blank traces where no molecular signal is evident. One-class (OC) classification is a machine learning technique to identify a specific class in a data set that potentially consists of a wide variety of classes. Here, we examine the utility of two different types of OC classification models on four diverse data sets from three different laboratories. Two of these data sets were measured at cryogenic temperatures and two at room temperature. By training the models solely on traces from a blank experiment, we demonstrate the efficacy of OC classification as a powerful and reliable method for filtering out blank traces from a molecular experiment in all four data sets. On a labeled 4,4′-bipyridine data set measured at 4.2 K, we achieve an accuracy of 96.9 ± 0.3 and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 99.5 ± 0.3 as validated over a fivefold cross-validation.

Nanoplastics were stained with a hydrophobic fluorescent dye to enable the use of photoluminescence techniques for their detection and quantification. Magnetic nanorobotic tools were employed to capture and subsequently remove the nanoplastics from contaminated waters. We demonstrated that nanorobots can capture and remove more than 90% of the nanoplastics from an aqueous solution within 120 min. This work shows that easy-to-use common fluorescent dyes combined with photoluminescence spectroscopy methods can be used as an alternative method for the detection and quantification of nanoplastics in water environments and swarming magnetic nanorobots for efficient capture and removal.

However, GLP-1 receptor agonists are effective only in subcutaneous injections because they face multiple barriers due to harsh gastrointestinal tract (GIT) conditions before reaching the site of action. The apical sodium bile acid transporter (ASBT) pathway at the intestinal site could be an attractive target to overcome the problem. Herein, we used our previously established multimodal carrier system utilizing bile salt, protamine sulfate, and calcium phosphate as excipients (PTCA) and the GLP-1 gene as an active ingredient (GENE) to test the effects of different formulation doses against diabetes and obesity. The carrier system demonstrated the ability to protect the GLP-1 model gene encoded within the plasmid at the GIT and transport it <i>via</i> ASBT at the target site. A single oral dose, regardless of quantity, showed the generation of GLP-1 and insulin from the body and maintained the normoglycemic condition by improving insulin sensitivity and blood sugar tolerance for a prolonged period. This oral gene therapy approach shows significantly higher therapeutic efficacy in preclinical studies than currently available US Food and Drug Administration-approved GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide and liraglutide. Also, a single oral dose of GENE/PTCA is more effective than 20 insulin injections.
