Fortunately, these challenges can be addressed using MnO2-based nanomaterials. In this study, we have designed and synthesized a Curcumin/MnO2@PLGA@4T1 cell membrane (CMP@4T1m) system aimed at remodelling the TME and enhancing sonodynamic immunotherapy for breast cancer. Through the homologous targeting ability of 4T1m, CMP@4T1m efficiently accumulates at the tumor site. Upon ultrasound irradiation, curcumin (Cur) acts as a sonosensitizer, generating cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) that induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), activate T-cell responses, and repolarize protumoral M2-like macrophages to antitumoral M1-like macrophages. In the TME, which is mildly acidic and enriched with GSH and H2O2, MnO2 not only oxidizes GSH to glutathione disulfide (GSSG) but also reacts with H2O2 and H+ to produce oxygen, alleviating hypoxia and significantly enhancing the sonodynamic immunotherapy effect. Additionally, Mn2+ generated during this process converts H2O2 into cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH). This study thus lays the foundation for advancing cancer nanomedicine, offering a novel approach that integrates TME remodelling with sonodynamic immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":65,"journal":{"name":"Biomaterials Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143810179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional imaging techniques like MRI, CT, and PET are unable to provide detailed visualization of early-stage brain tumors. Early-stage detection of brain tumors is vital for enhancing patient outcomes and survival rates. So far, several scientists have dedicated their efforts to innovating advanced diagnostic probes to efficiently cross the BBB and selectively target brain tumors for optimal imaging. The integration of these techniques presents a viable pathway for non-invasive, accurate, and early-stage tumor identification. Herein, we provide a timely update on the various imaging probes and potential challenges for the diagnosis of early-stage brain tumors. Furthermore, this review highlights the significance of integrating advanced imaging probes for improving the early detection of brain tumors, ultimately enhancing treatment outcomes. Hopefully, this review will stimulate the interest of researchers to accelerate the development of new imaging probes and even their clinical translation for improving the early diagnosis of brain tumors.","PeriodicalId":65,"journal":{"name":"Biomaterials Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143810249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we engineered PD-1/LAG-3 receptors onto cell membrane nanovesicles to simultaneously block two immune checkpoints for the treatment of colorectal cancer. This dual-checkpoint blockade strategy led to significantly more potent tumor growth suppression in mice with MC38 xenografts compared to nanovesicles targeting PD-1 or LAG-3 alone. Notably, the hybrid nanovesicles substantially rejuvenated exhausted CD8+ T cells, promoting dendritic cell maturation and depleting regulatory T cells (Tregs).

They appear in 5-14% of cancer patients, with higher prevalence in breast (66%) and head and neck (24%) cancers. Novel therapeutic routes for the management of MFWs rely on plant-based treatments, e.g. oxymatrine (OXM), an alkaloid derived from a Chinese plant with anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. The objective of this work was to assess the potential of polyvinyl alcohol/casein (PVA/CAS) hydrogels to be used as dressings for OXM delivery. CAS can stimulate the immune system, while PVA is one of the most used synthetic polymers in the composition of hydrogels for medical applications. Six different hydrogel formulations were prepared following different procedures: freeze-thawing (FT) and cast drying (CD) for 24 or 48 h, with and without the addition of genipin (GE), a crosslinking agent. The hydrogels were loaded with OXM, and their release behaviour was studied. PVA/CAS-24CD + GE showed the best release profile. After being subjected to sterilisation by high hydrostatic pressure, it was further investigated in terms of physicochemical properties, mechanical characteristics and biocompatibility. Overall, this hydrogel revealed adequate characteristics to be used as a biocompatible medicated dressing for OXM release.","PeriodicalId":65,"journal":{"name":"Biomaterials Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143802188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we show the effect of several types of 20 nm particles on Ca2+ in the presence of shear stress in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs), and human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-Cs). Intracellular Ca2+ levels increased by nearly three-fold in these cell types upon exposure to 100 μg mL-1 20 nm Au particles, which was not seen in response to larger or smaller particles. An antagonist to the calcium channel - transient receptor potential vanilloid-type 4 (TRPV4) - drastically reduced the amount of calcium by 9.3-fold in HUVECs exposed to 0.6 Pa shear stress and 100 μg mL-1 20 nm gold particles, a trend upheld in both HCAECs and HMVEC-Cs. Cell alignment in the direction of fluid flow is a well-known phenomenon in endothelial cells, and interestingly, cells in the presence of 20 nm particles with fluid flow had a higher alignment index than cells in the fluid flow alone. When compared with previous works, these results indicated that 20 nm particles may be inducing endothelial permeability by activating the TRPV4 channel in vitro. The potential of nanoparticle delivery technologies hinges on an improved understanding of this effect toward improved delivery with limited toxicity.","PeriodicalId":65,"journal":{"name":"Biomaterials Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143794106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we reported a simple and convenient method to construct hyaluronic acid (HA)-stabilized iron/zinc oxide nanoparticles (IZ@H NPs), which showed intrinsic peroxidase (POD)-like activity and excellent light-activated Fe2+ release performance. Moreover, we demonstrate that catalytic ROS generation follows a cascade amplification manner due to the light-activated release of Fe2+ from IZ@H NPs, leading to formation of iron-DNA complexes (IDCs). After loading doxorubicin (DOX), the nanosystem (termed IZD@H NPs) exhibits tumor cell targeting, robust ROS generation and high cytotoxicity, significantly suppressing tumor growth in xenograft mouse models while maintaining good biosafety.

However, dysregulated inflammation can eventually contribute to the development and progression of various inflammatory diseases. Although anti-inflammatory drugs have demonstrated certain therapeutic efficacy in clinical settings, significant limitations still persist, highlighting the necessity for the development of improved approaches to address complex inflammatory conditions. Micro/nanomotors (MNMs) have shown significant promise for applications in the biomedical field due to their micro/nano-scale sizes and autonomous movement. Unlike traditional nanoparticles, which exhibit passive diffusion in biological fluids, MNMs can convert external energy into a driving force for self-propulsion. This capability not only enhances the tissue penetration depth and retention rates but also facilitates interaction with inflammatory lesions. Recent efforts have suggested that MNMs for inflammatory disease therapy could provide an efficient therapeutic effect. Herein, we mainly introduce the recent advances in inflammatory disease therapy based on MNMs. We conclude by discussing both the obstacles and potential opportunities for MNMs innovations in addressing inflammation.","PeriodicalId":65,"journal":{"name":"Biomaterials Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143778557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
