Despite the widespread application of existing wound dressings, their performance and efficacy are significantly limited in terms of biocompatible matrices and functionalization for promoting vascularization and antimicrobial activity. In this study, we propose a drug-loaded microneedle based on a copolymer hydrogel composed of methacrylated chitosan and polyethylene glycol diacrylate incorporating antimicrobial peptide and vascular endothelial growth factor. These microneedles were applied to wounds where their degradation facilitated the release of the loaded drugs to exert antibacterial and angiogenic effects. In vitro experiments demonstrated that our microneedles exhibit uniform morphology, good structural integrity, controlled drug release, and other excellent properties. Upon interaction with cells and bacteria, they displayed biocompatibility and superior dual antibacterial capabilities. In an in vivo infectious wound model, the microneedles significantly promoted wound healing through their antibacterial and angiogenic effects, showing clear advantages over the control group. Thus, these drug-loaded microneedles serve as a multifunctional dressing, offering a promising novel strategy for wound repair.","PeriodicalId":74816,"journal":{"name":"Smart medicine","volume":"4 3","pages":"e70014"},"PeriodicalIF":11.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12442652/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145088538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scientific attention in this field is focused on imparting the patches with novel structures, functions, and actives for promoting wound healing. In this paper, we have developed an innovative hydrogel patch with hierarchical structure and spatiotemporal actives release for efficient wound healing. This hydrogel patch was achieved by integrating asiatic acid (AA)-loaded pollens with chlorogenic acid (CA)-containing gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel. The high specific surface area and nanoporous structure of the pollens-integrated GelMA promote efficient loading and release of CA and AA, respectively. In wound treatment, the outer layer of GelMA first releases CA to fight infection. With the gradual degradation of GelMA, the pollens are exposed to the wounds and released AA, intensifying anti-inflammatory effects and promoting wound healing. These features indicate that this pollen-integrated hydrogel patch significantly accelerates the wound healing process in a spatiotemporal responsive manner, demonstrating great potential for clinical applications.","PeriodicalId":74816,"journal":{"name":"Smart medicine","volume":"4 3","pages":"e70017"},"PeriodicalIF":11.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12362785/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144981852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hydrogels are promising materials for tissue repair, but optimizing their various functions-such as adhesion, mechanical properties, and vascularization-to suit the complexity of different organs and tissues remains a significant challenge. In this study, we explore a tough and adhesive polydopamine (PDA)-silk-polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel inspired by the mussel-inspired adhesion of PDA and the vascularization potential of silk. Through a Schiff base reaction, self-polymerization occurs between the free dopamine and the conjugated dopamine on the silk chains, resulting in the formation of a PDA/silk prepolymer. The presence of PDA in the prepolymer endows the resulting PDA-silk-PAM hydrogel with excellent adhesiveness, strong mechanical properties, and good water absorption. By adjusting the degree of crosslinking, the hydrogel also demonstrates impressive deformability, making it suitable for engineering thicker and more complex tissues and organs. Moreover, benefiting from the vascularization capabilities of silk and the adhesive properties of PDA, the PDA-silk-PAM hydrogel effectively promotes vascularization and accelerates wound healing in full-thickness skin wounds on the backs of Sprague-Dawley rats. Overall, our study provides a straightforward approach to create versatile medical hydrogel with strong potential for clinical applications.","PeriodicalId":74816,"journal":{"name":"Smart medicine","volume":"4 3","pages":"e70016"},"PeriodicalIF":11.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12362727/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144981855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metabolomic profiles were measured in tissue samples from 42 surgically treated CSOM patients (35 with cholesteatoma, 7 without cholesteatoma). Significantly altered metabolites associated with CSOM were identified using a non-targeted metabolomics approach and a targeted metabolomics approach. The 42 patients were divided into screening and validation sets. The non-targeted analysis revealed 484 distinct differential metabolites and 32 metabolic pathways that differed between CSOM with and without cholesteatoma in the screening set. Targeted metabolomics confirmed that levels of azobenzene and marimastat in the validation set exhibited trends similar to those observed in the non-targeted analysis. Azobenzene and marimastat were found to be associated with the differences between CSOM with and without cholesteatoma, as well as with bone erosion in the middle ear.

We utilized single-nucleus RNA sequencing to analyze the condylar cartilage in an overloading mouse model. This approach enabled the identification of 11 distinct cell types within the condylar chondrocytes. Through the application of pseudotime trajectory Analysis and cellchat analyses, we identified the key gene Acvr1b and its associated signaling pathway, which are crucial for regulating the terminal differentiation of condylar chondrocytes.

Therefore, mitochondrial transplantation shows great potential for therapeutic use in treating these diseases. However, transplantation process is notably challenging due to very low efficiency and rapid loss of bioactivity post-isolation, leading to poor reproducibility and reliability. In this study, we develop a novel strategy to form a nanometer-thick protective shell around isolated mitochondria using Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) through biomineralization. Our findings demonstrate that this encapsulation method effectively maintains mitochondria bioactivity for at least 4 weeks at room temperature. Furthermore, the efficiency of intracellular delivery of mitochondria is significantly enhanced through the surface functionalization of MOFs with polyethyleneimine (PEI) and the cell-penetrating peptide Tat. The successful delivery of mitochondria isolated from non-tumorigenic cells into cancer cells results in notable tumor-suppressive effects. Taken together, our technology represents a significant advancement in mitochondria research, particularly on understanding their role in cancer. It also lays the groundwork for utilizing mitochondria as therapeutic agents in cancer treatment.","PeriodicalId":74816,"journal":{"name":"Smart medicine","volume":"4 1","pages":"e134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11862567/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143588475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
