Shedding Light on the Cellular Uptake Mechanisms of Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles as Controlled Intracellular Delivery Platforms: A Review of the Recent Literature

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the main uptake pathways of bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGNs) and their intracellular localization, highlighting that BGNs are mainly internalized and entrapped within endosomes/lysosomes. Strategies for controlled intracellular ion release, with implications for targeted modulation of cell behavior, are discussed. The need to

Elastic Energy Storage in Biological Materials: Internal Stresses and Their Functionality

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing and storing internally generated elastic energy is a clever strategy by biological materials to perform functions like shape transformation, movement, and predation. This review explores how biological systems manipulate mechanisms like atomic or protein integration into minerals, protein conformational shifts, phase transitions, and osmotic

Vacuoles: a hollow threat? [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, 2010
In this issue of the Journal, Bawolak et al.1 focus their studies on a mechanism that provides a provocative insight into the complexity of systems that organize the intracellular environment. This mechanism may also serve to describe the effects produced by agents that are applied in high concentrations to the outer membrane of the cell… in this case,

Oral Celastrol Micelles Forming High‐Density Lipoprotein Corona Targeting Hepatocytes for MASLD Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon oral administration, OPDEA‐PCL/CEL micelles passed through the stomach acid intact, then quickly penetrated the intestinal mucus and transported into circulation, where they captured HDL to form a protein corona and target hepatocyte SR‐B1 receptors, inducing endocytosis.
