Nanodrugs Targeting Key Factors of Ferroptosis Regulation for Enhanced Treatment of Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease globally, bringing heavy social and economic burdens. Ferroptosis in OA, due to inflammation or iron overload, is a key factor. In this study, Ce@D&P nanoparticles (NPs) are developed to perform multitarget regulation of ferroptosis.

Engineering single-polymer micelle shape using non-uniform spontaneous surface curvature [PDF]
Conventional micelles, composed of simple amphiphiles, exhibit only a few standard morphologies, each characterized by its mean surface curvature set by the amphiphiles. Here we demonstrate a rational design scheme to construct micelles of more general shape from polymeric amphiphiles.

A novel xanthate molecule was designed to facilitate highly controlled photoiniferter RAFT polymerization at fast rates under visible light. This approach was applied in aqueous photoinitiated polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (photo‐PISA). The rapid photolysis and extended absorption of this xanthate enable ultrafast and scalable fabrication of ...

Controlled Nanoparticle Formation by Diffusion Limited Coalescence [PDF]
Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) have a great application potential in science and technology. Their functionality strongly depends on their size. We present a theory for the size of NPs formed by precipitation of polymers into a bad solvent in the presence
