However, it is necessary to develop (non-)enzymatic nanotechnologies capable of selectively killing tumour cells without harming normal cells. Their therapeutic characteristics should be the adaption of tumours’ extra- and intracellular environment to being specifically active. To contribute to this common goal, we propose the use of pH- and redox-responsive ferrocene containing polymersomes (FcPsomes). This allows the regulation of their biological activities for the controlled production of radicals <em>via</em> the Fenton reaction and the transport and release of cargo molecules <em>via</em> (destroying) host–guest interactions. This is provided by the Fc-membrane composition of FcPsomes showing different pH responsive active membrane, meaning the membrane permeability is triggering the Fenton reaction. The modulation of radical production is validated by various spectroscopic techniques. Moreover, these nanocontainers allow biological action of glucose oxidase (GOx) as therapeutic enzyme to produce glucono-1,5-lactone as proton source and hydrogen peroxide, initiating the Fenton reaction, in their interior. This provides a synergistic cancer therapeutic treatment for the starvation of hydrogen peroxide, but also ROS-mediated chemodynamic therapy at defined pH values. By modulating membrane permeability, we achieve environmentally regulated and locally driven therapeutic activity in the confinement of FcPsomes, ensuring specificity and safety treatments. The versatility of this platform extends beyond their specific application, allowing for their beneficial therapeutic use, for example, in signaling pathways of cells through the integration of various enzymes in FcPsomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":83,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Chemistry B","volume":" 6","pages":" 1980-1990"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/tb/d4tb01776e?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142934334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pickering bubbles have been a mega-hit for biomedical applications, including <em>in vivo</em> visualization and targeted drug delivery. However, there have been no studies on Pickering bubbles as an immunological adjuvant, and the special properties and structures of Pickering bubbles may play an important role in immunization. In this study, poly(lactic-<em>co</em>-glycolic acid) (PLGA) particles were used to construct nanoparticle-stabilized Pickering bubbles (PPBs). PPBs were evaluated as immunological adjuvants based on immune response effects and mechanisms and aiming at future applications. PPBs have a flexible gas core and a special surface structure that can increase the cell contact area to promote phagocytosis and enhance the immune response. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) data showed the flexibility of PPBs, and confocal images captured the deformability of PPBs during cell uptake. Flow cytometry and antibody titer detection showed that PPBs significantly promoted antigen uptake and activation of bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) and induced an immune response with upregulated SIINFEKL MHC I and CD127 molecules on the surface of CD8<small><sup>+</sup></small> T cells, indicating excellent antigen cross-presentation and cellular immune triggering effects.

The combined application of drug-loaded nanobubbles and ultrasound technology provides a new technique for the treatment of RA. Low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) traces the transmission of drug-loaded nanobubbles in the body, and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) causes the nanobubbles to rupture to release drugs at the inflammatory site, thereby reducing their toxicity to normal tissues.

In this work, we conducted extensive molecular dynamics simulations and free-energy calculations to investigate the physicochemical properties governing the orientation as well as membrane permeation barriers of three RhoVRs.

Subsequent free-energy calculations of the distinguishing components from the two different RhoVRs provide additional insight into the physicochemical properties governing their membrane permeation.

Although viscosity is an essential property of the mucus layer, it remains elusive how viscosity affects chemoresistance in colon cancer cells. In this study, the influence of viscosity on their chemoresistance was elucidated by culturing colon cancer cells in media of different viscosities supplemented with doxorubicin (DOX). The viscosity range was adjusted from 99.4 mPa s to 776.6 mPa s by adding polyethylene glycol of different molecular weights in culture medium. Cell viability in the high viscosity medium was higher than that in the low viscosity medium. Expression of chemoresistance-related genes such as ABCC2 and ABCG2 increased when cells were cultured in the high viscosity medium. Furthermore, cell migration increased while proliferation decreased when cells were cultured in the high viscosity medium.
