Despite extensive research, cost-effective treatments remains elusive, primarily due to the difficulties in delivering adequate medications to damaged tissues and managing lung inflammation. This study presents a novel approach in which mitochondrial and lung-targeting liposomes loaded with ROS scavengers (LMR) were constructed through fusion. Briefly, mitochondria were extracted from human AC16 cardiac muscle cells using a specific commercial kit. Characterization involved techniques such as TEM imaging, zeta potential analysis, and SDS-PAGE. PCR and qRT-PCR were used to measure gene expression, while ROS levels were detected using a microplate reader. The lung-targeted liposomes ensured prolonged retention, thereby facilitating their immunoregulatory functions. By targeting mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress, LMR showed improved ATP production and reduced LPS-induced ROS stress in macrophages. Treatment with LMR not only enhanced mitochondrial integrity but also shifted macrophages towards an anti-inflammatory state, evidenced by reduced expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, CD86, and IL-6 and increased production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine CD206. This reduction in inflammation and oxidative stress led to improved therapeutic outcomes in a mouse model of ARDS. Overall, this hybrid nanoplatform offers a versatile strategy for drug delivery by integrating biomaterials and therapeutic agents through the fusion of mitochondria with liposomes, thereby enhancing lung biodistribution and amplifying the anti-inflammatory response in ARDS treatment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7220,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials","volume":"7 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142518512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Researchers are focused on two major objectives: (1) understanding the primary mechanisms of energy harvest from environmentally sustainable sources using wearable flexible piezoelectric nanogenerators and (2) improving the energy storage and delivery processes, such as supercapacitors, respectively. Herein, we developed self-charging power systems integrated with a piezoelectric nanogenerator and an asymmetric supercapacitor device. We utilized finger-tapping and acoustic motions to generate the voltages from the nanogenerator and stored them in the supercapacitor device to power portable electronic devices. The piezoelectric performance showed that the nanogenerator can generate a peak-to-peak voltage of 2.81 V (~ 4.2 times better than pure molybdenum disulfide) due to the incorporation of terbium and molybdenum disulfide, which allows for flexible orientation of terbium–oxygen, tungsten–oxygen, and molybdenum–sulfur bonds under external force. The fabricated nanogenerator exhibited a power density of 7.3 µW m<sup>−2</sup>, which is higher than previously reported results. Next, electrochemical supercapacitor studies showed a higher capacity (62.6 mAh cm<sup>−2</sup>) for the proposed composite than that of molybdenum disulfide (58.8 mAh cm<sup>−2</sup>) and pure terbium tungstate (21.4 mAh cm<sup>−2</sup>). Finally, studies on self-charging power systems showed that it can self-charge to 1.6 V within 237 s and self-discharge very slowly at 11,763 s (~ 3.26 h) until 57 mV, powering various electronics and demonstrating its practicability.

The use of blends of OSCs and insulating binding polymers has offered a breakthrough to circumvent these limitations. Here, we introduced a novel method for preparing high-performance OFETs based on a direct-writing inkjet printing (DWIP) blend composed of 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethinyl) pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The small molecular weight of PMMA imparted significantly superior crystallization of small-molecule OSCs, and the OFETs exhibited better electrical performance than other comparative conditions. The crystallization and characteristics improved because of two mechanisms: First, the PMMA delivered superior mechanical strength, stability, and improved film uniformity and created a more uniform interface that decreased the charge accumulation, thereby alleviating the hysteresis and contact resistance. Second, combined with DWIP technology and thanks to the advantages of horizontal solution shearing and spatially restricted domains, the blends contributed to solute draw and thus handled mass transport more efficiently and controllably.
