Cationic‐Hydrophilic Di‐Block Copolymers: Surface‐Shielded Vectors for Gene Delivery

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1419-1432, 15 March 2025.
This study develops synthetic polycationic di‐block carriers for nucleic acid (NA) delivery in gene therapy. Consisting of a cationic block and a hydrophilic block, these carriers efficiently form complexes with NAs and shield them with a protective bioinert layer, enhancing stability during circulation in the bloodstream while reducing undesirable ...

Protective Potentials of Natural Products Against Vascular Dementia: A Comprehensive Review of Experimental Studies

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular dementia (VaD), accounting for up to 20% of dementia cases globally, is primarily driven by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH), which leads to progressive cognitive impairment. Despite the increasing prevalence of VaD, effective treatments remain limited.

Photo‐responsive carbon dots for pyroptosis‐mediated anti‐tumor application

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Photo‐responsive CDs generate ROS to induce tumor cell pyroptosis, thereby stimulating antitumor immunity. Abstract Pyroptosis refers to a kind of lytic programmed cell death, characterized by the release of pro‐inflammatory cytokines during the process. Owing to its immune response stimulation ability, pyroptosis has garnered considerable attention in

Osmotic Remodeling of Extracellular Vesicles for Precision Nanomedicine

Small, EarlyView.
Hypotonic lysis in bidistilled water is used to remodel B lymphocyte–derived extracellular vesicles into cargo‐depleted, structurally preserved nanovesicles. The process reduces intraluminal proteins and nucleic acids, reshapes membrane composition, and enhances tumor‐cell uptake in vitro, while allowing proof‐of‐concept reloading with exogenous agents,

Impact of Positively Charged Backbone Modifications on the Properties of Spherical Nucleic Acids

Small, EarlyView.
A synthesis of spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) featuring cationic backbone modifications is presented, together with an analysis of their emerging properties. Introducing positively charged guanidinium groups near the SNA surface enhances cellular uptake and offers a pathway toward more precise control over SNA internalization.

Recent advances in platelet lipid rafts

Zhongguo shuxue zazhi
Platelet lipid rafts are dynamic nanodomains enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids within the plasma membrane. As pivotal hubs for signal transduction, membrane trafficking, and intercellular interactions, they have garnered significant attention in ...

Endocytosis‐independent cytosolic entry of messenger RNA via fluorous bilayer zippering attenuating Toll‐like receptor signaling and enables ischemic tissue salvage

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
The present study establishes a paradigm shift in synthetic mRNA delivery through the convergence of three orthogonal chemistries—perfluoro‐acylation, bio‐orthogonal click cross‐linking, and disulfide reduction—within a single, modular polymer architecture. Abstract A fundamental constraint of conventional messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery systems is their

Proximity Proteomics Maps Candidate Cellular Uptake Pathways for Cell‐Derived Nanovesicles

Small Methods, EarlyView.
TurboID‐based dual‐sided proteomics compares mechanically generated cell‐derived nanovesicles with naturally secreted small extracellular vesicles. Vesicle proteomes define candidate interaction signatures, while recipient‐cell proximity labelling identifies exposure‐associated proteins.

Synergistic and Antagonistic Effects of Chemical Pollutants and Parasitic Fungi on Cyanobacterial Metabolism

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly impacted by anthropogenic pollutants, including the widely used herbicide metolachlor (MET) and cigarette butt (CB) litter. Parasites represent an additional biotic stressor that can modulate pollutant effects on their hosts.

Identification of Yeast Protein Sequences With Similarity to the ESCRT‐III Protein Snf7

Yeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT‐III) is a membrane remodeling complex involved in a large number of cellular processes. It appears to perform an essential function in eukaryotes, since to date no eukaryotic organism completely devoid of ESCRT‐III has been found.
