In this work, a thermally stable and flexible PVDF-HFP/SEBS (PH<sub>S</sub>S<sub>O</sub>) composite membrane doped with stearic acid (SA) and octanoic acid (OA) is constructed by the method of electrostatic spraying-assisted electrospinning.

Herein, we construct a safe and efficient bioorthogonal nanoblocker, which can disrupt the self-protection pathways to enable endogenous copper-evoked cuproptosis. The gene silencing-mediated blockage of copper efflux leads to the accumulation of endogenous copper, thereby inducing mitochondrial protein aggregation to efficiently trigger cuproptosis. Meanwhile, the bioorthogonal synthesis of an autophagy inhibitor blocks the resistance of cancer cells to copper overload-mediated cuproptosis. The combination of endogenous copper accumulation and tumor self-protection destruction leads to the death of tumor cells with minimal side effects, thereby achieving a safe and effective cuproptosis-based cancer treatment.

This study introduced an innovative strategy for modulating the pharmacokinetics and therapeutic pathways of curcumin through engineered mucus-penetrating nanostructured lipid carriers (CUR-NLC) and colon-targeted microparticles (CUR-MC). These nanocarriers are designed with hierarchical structures and enzyme-responsive materials to achieve site-specific drug delivery. CUR-NLCs demonstrated superior adhesion and penetration through the ileal mucosa, facilitating curcumin metabolism via host enzymes, while CUR-MCs enhanced colonic targeting, enabling enzyme-responsive curcumin release at inflamed lesion and promoting microbiota-mediated metabolism. In this vein, CUR-NLC achieved the highest peak concentration C<sub><strong>max</strong>(<em>CUR</em>)</sub> and absorption rate (K<sub><strong>a</strong></sub>) for curcumin, while CUR-MC improved hepatoenteral circulation and optimized the oral bioavailability and plasma concentrations of its active metabolite tetrahydrocurcumin (THC). Western-blot analysis revealed that CUR-NLC facilitated anti-colitis effect by suppressing inflammatory response through the NF-κB/TLR<sub>4</sub> pathway. Furthermore, our research uncovered a positive correlation between the mucoadhesive efficiency of nanocarriers and their cellular uptake by macrophages. Notably, CUR-MCs demonstrated an increase in colon mucoadhesive capacity (18.35 folds) and macrophage internalization efficiency (28.74 folds) at the colonic mucosa, triggering a superior restoration effect on colonic mucosal inflammation. CUR-MC mitigated colitis by repairing the epithelial physical barrier and enhancing colonic mucosal immunity through the promotion of goblet cell proliferation and the production of occludin and mucin 2.

However, existing i-skins often struggle to establish conformal contact with intricate skin topographies and typically do not revert to their original state after deformation due to an imbalance between viscosity and elasticity. Here, inspired by snail mucus, we propose a novel design that encapsulates naturally occurring polyphenols, ionizable compounds, and moisturizing factors in gelatin through well-balanced cross-linking, resulting in a bio-based, liquid-like i-skin (GE/GKG i-skin). The GE/GKG i-skin mimics the softness of natural skin and features excellent elasticity, transparency, and self-adhesiveness. Like snail mucus, this i-skin exhibits an on-demand, thermally responsive, reversible fluid-gel transition that allows it to be applied to the skin as a fluid and solidify in situ into an elastic i-skin, effectively addressing these challenges. Additionally, the reversible phase transition subtly imbues it with outstanding recyclability. This breakthrough i-skin achieves an unprecedented combination of ultra-conformal contact and elastic recovery, dynamically adapting to human skin deformations. It is capable of creating mechanically durable, dynamically adaptable stable interfaces, and supports long-term monitoring of human motion and ECG signals.
