To regulate the wound microenvironment across a broad pH range, a Fe-doped ZIF-8 nanozyme loaded with glucose oxidase (Fe-ZIF-8@GOx) was synthesized via a one-step in situ growth method. This nanozyme, with ZIF-8 serving both as a protective matrix and immobilization scaffold, enhances the enzyme's operational microenvironment and maintains functionality across a wide pH range. It exhibits the activities of cascade glucose oxidase (GOx), catalase-like (CAT-like), and peroxidase-like (POD-like) enzymes. When Fe-ZIF-8@GOx nanozymes encounter high glucose levels at the site of weakly alkaline chronic ulcers, the GOx particles catalyze the reduction of local pH, simultaneously triggering CAT-like enzyme activity to release O₂ and improve the wound microenvironment. The subsequent pH reduction induces the controlled release of iron ions, enabling Fe<sup>2+</sup> to react with endogenously produced hydrogen peroxide to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), conferring a distinctive guest–carrier synergistic antibacterial effect. Both in vitro and in vivo studies confirm that this material effectively reduces inflammation, modulates macrophage polarization, enhances collagen deposition, and promotes angiogenesis, ultimately accelerating wound healing under chronic diabetic conditions. Thus, our work not only overcomes microenvironmental limitations in antibacterial therapy but also offers a promising strategy for treating chronic diabetic infections.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":351,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"700 ","pages":"Article 138370"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144605636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we examine the impact of crowding on the IDP Histatin 5 using PEG of various molecular weights and Ficoll® PM 70. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) reveals minimal effects on the structural ensemble of Histatin 5 in the presence of both PEG and Ficoll® PM 70. These findings are further supported by dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiments, which confirm the SAXS results. However, as the molecular weight of PEG increases, the concentration at which the semidilute regime is reached decreases. A similar trend is observed for the larger crowder, Ficoll® PM 70. Computational models align with the experimental results, suggesting negligible crowding effects. Additionally, simulations indicate that the crowders undergo greater conformational changes with increasing concentration than Histatin 5.

However, traditional techniques are ineffective for achieving in situ detection with multiscale, multiphase, and submicron resolution. The thermodynamic and kinetic processes of forming these states from submicron droplets to bubbles are still not well understood. In this study, we utilized a scanning transmission soft X-ray microscopy technique based on a synchrotron accelerator. For the first time, we achieved high-resolution in-situ observation of the growth and evolution of nanobubbles (NBs) within low-boiling-point perfluorohexane (PFH) microdroplets (less than 10 μm). Size effects profoundly influence phase transition dynamics: as the droplet size decreases, the phase transition is initially promoted and then inhibited. Microdroplets near 1 μm exhibit unique bulk vaporization behavior. Additionally, the nucleation rate of PFH-derived vapor NBs at the gas-liquid interface is significantly higher than in non-interface regions, highlighting the critical role of interface effects. Our approach visualizes nanoscale nucleation dynamics and interface effects, challenging traditional assumptions about size-dependent interfacial phenomena.
