Vitamin B12‐Functionalized Nanogels for pH‐, and Redox‐Responsive Doxorubicin Delivery
ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.A polymerizable 5′‐modified vitamin B12‐monomer enables the covalent incorporation of B12 into pH‐ and redox‐responsive nanogels for targeted doxorubicin delivery. The nanogels exhibit glutathione‐triggered drug release, potent antiproliferative activity against HT‐29 cancer cells, and strongly reduced cytotoxicity toward healthy cells.

Mechanical Caging of Nucleic Acids Enabled by Light‐Activated Synthetic Molecular Motors
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 42, 12 October 2026.A synthetic light‐driven molecular motor imposes mechanical constraints on nucleic acids, enabling “mechanical caging” as a new mode to regulate DNA structure and function through mechanical input rather than chemical masking. ABSTRACT Control over nucleic acid activity is central to biotechnology and therapeutic development.

Process Optimization of Solution Blow Spinning for Poly (N‐Isopropylacrylamide) Fibers
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 40, October 20, 2026.Solution blow spinning has emerged as a safe and scalable technique for fabricating thermoresponsive PNIPAM fibers. The influence of key parameters on jet stability and fiber uniformity is determined through both rheological analysis and statistical process optimization. A Box–Behnken design reveals an optimized window for producing PNIPAM fibers below
