This study presents a novel and sustainable strategy for advanced wound management by developing multifunctional dressing platforms based on β-chitosan (β-CS) derived from squid pen waste. An optimized biochemical extraction process was developed to obtain high-purity β-CS with suitable crystallinity and an elevated deacetylation degree. To harness these properties, β-CS was formulated with thermoresponsive Poloxamer 407 (P407), yielding two innovative wound healing systems: an in-situ forming film (CSPF) and a fast-powder (CSPP). To fully exploit the inherent bioactivity of β-CS, two novel wound healing platforms, namely an in-situ formed composite film (CSPF) and fast-deployable composite powder (CSPP), were fabricated by integrating β-CS with thermosensitive Poloxamer 407 (P407). In vitro characterization revealed that both formulations exhibited potent hemostatic capacity, broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, and outstanding hemocompatibility. In a murine full-thickness wound model, CSPF and CSPP significantly accelerated wound closure, enhanced collagen deposition, and promoted neovascularization. These dressings attenuated early inflammation through downregulation of key pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α), while activating the TGF-β/β-catenin pathway to facilitate fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition and extracellular matrix remodeling. Furthermore, CSPF/CSPP enhanced VEGF-mediated angiogenesis, as evidenced by increased CD31<sup>+</sup> microvessel density.

Structural characterization demonstrated that the PDA intermediate effectively suppresses the phase separation of PEI, thereby preventing bulk agglomeration and facilitating a thin, nanoscale coating.

This review comprehensively summarizes the functions, regulatory mechanisms, and clinical significance of LINC01614 in cancer. Functionally, LINC01614 drives multidimensional malignant phenotypes, encompassing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), metabolic reprogramming, and the immunosuppressive remodeling of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Mechanistically, its highly orchestrated regulatory network initiates with upstream transcriptional activation by factors like STAT1 and SP1, followed by its core function as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to sequester multiple tumor-suppressive microRNAs. This functionally hyperactivates canonical downstream signaling cascades, including the PI3K/Akt, Wnt/β-catenin, and TGF-β pathways. Clinically, LINC01614 upregulation consistently correlates with aggressive clinicopathological features, potential metastasis, and recalcitrant chemoresistance.

In this study, we developed an integrated computational framework combining machine learning-based virtual screening, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations with experimental validation using CCK-8 assays and Western blot analysis to identify novel BACE1 inhibitors from a natural product library. A curated dataset of experimentally validated BACE1 inhibitors retrieved from the ChEMBL database was used to construct 36 classification models based on three molecular fingerprint representations MACCS Keys, ECFP4, and Topological Torsion in combination with four machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). Among all developed models, the SVM model using ECFP4 fingerprints achieved the best predictive performance, with an external test set accuracy of 0.91 and a Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of 0.78. The optimized models were subsequently applied to screen 4779 natural product compounds from the MedChemExpress library using a consensus prediction strategy. Promising hits were evaluated by molecular docking against the BACE1 crystal structure (PDB: 6PZ4), and top-ranked candidates were subjected to 200 ns molecular dynamics simulations followed by MM/GBSA binding free energy calculations. Among the identified candidates, HY-N7141 exhibited the most favorable docking score (-9.04 kcal/mol) and binding free energy (ΔG = -67.30 kcal/mol), driven predominantly by strong van der Waals interactions with key catalytic residues.

Experimental validation in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells further assessed the effects of selected compounds on BACE1 protein expression.
