This condition is firmly coupled with unprovoked seizures stimulated by irrepressible neuroelectrical blasts. Orally taken valproate family has been employed for prophylactic management; however, oral administration is not applicable for critical scenarios, thus calling for medication routes fulfilling necessities of immediate innervation. In order to address this shortcoming, sodium valproate entrapped in poly(ethylene oxide)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PEO/PVP) nanofibrous patches was developed with the aim of sublingual drug delivery. Initially, the production process was designed and optimized via the central composite design (CCD). Nanofiber fabrication was accomplished with a novel device by using the pressurized gyration method. Fabricated biomaterials were chemically, spatially, and thermally inspected. The beanless and homogeneous appearance of both virgin and impregnated nanofibrous patches was morphologically demonstrated via scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, adequately oro-dispersed impregnated patches released more than 90% of their drug content in under a minute. Following <i>in vitro</i> cyto-safety assurance acquired through 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, the protective antiepileptic effect of impregnated patches was affirmed <i>in vivo</i> via pentylenetetrazole kindled-induced <i>Mus musculus</i> animal modeling.

This study investigates a novel approach to combat fibrosis, harnessing the antifibrotic properties of the endogenous metabolite itaconate (IA) to target the pathological activation of the macrophage-fibroblast axis in fibrotic disease. To achieve therapeutic delivery relevant to the chronic nature of fibrotic conditions, we incorporated IA into the backbone of biodegradable polyester polymers, poly(dodecyl itaconate) (poly[IA-DoD]), capable of long-term localized release of IA. Degradation characterization of poly(IA-DoD) revealed that IA, as well as water-soluble IA-containing oligomeric groups, is released in a sustained manner. Treatment of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages and human dermal fibroblasts demonstrated that the degradation products of poly(IA-DoD) effectively modulated profibrotic behavior. Macrophages exposed to the degradation products exhibited reduced profibrotic responses, while fibroblasts showed decreased proliferation and myofibroblast α-smooth muscle actin expression. These findings suggest that poly(IA-DoD) has the potential to disrupt the fibrotic cycle by targeting key cellular players.

In this study, benchtop fabrication equipment was used to facilely fabricate chambers for engineering three-dimensional (3D) skeletal muscles bundles and measuring their contractile performance. Primary chick myoblasts were embedded in an extracellular matrix hydrogel solution and differentiated into engineered muscle bundles, with or without the addition of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived motor neurons. Muscle bundles differentiated with motor neurons had neurites distributed throughout their volume and a higher myogenic index compared to muscle bundles without motor neurons.

Noninnervated muscle bundles also experienced a decline in rise and fall times as the culture progressed, whereas innervated muscle bundles and noninnervated muscle bundles with neurotrophic factors maintained more consistent rise and fall times. Innervated muscle bundles also expressed the highest levels of the genes for slow myosin light chain 3 (<i>MYL3</i>) and myoglobin (<i>MB</i>), which are associated with slow twitch fibers.

Silk derived from QR-fed silkworms presents significant enhancements in fluorescence, antioxidant, and mechanical properties, with the QR-2.5% group presenting the best overall performance. The resulting silk exhibits superstrong blue fluorescence when exposed to 405 nm laser light, with a breaking strength of 4.26 ± 0.42 cN/D and a breaking energy of 5.96 ± 1.32 cN/cm, improvements of 15.76% and 18.25%, respectively, in comparison with regular silk. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis indicates that QR induces a structural transformation of fibroin protein from α-helix and random coil to β-sheet configuration, thereby increasing silk crystallinity. Additionally, compared with regular silk, the antioxidant properties of both sericin and silk fibroin increased by 88.66% and 17.25%, respectively. At the same time, this multifunctional silk has excellent biocompatibility and strong cell adhesion.

To this end, we have developed a heparinized alginate and collagen hydrogel for the local, sustained delivery of therapeutic proteins. In an effort to match this ubiquitous application of protein delivery to various disease states and target tissues with sufficient versatility, we identified three distinct delivery modes as design targets.
