Article Abstract
2-HP-β-cyclodextrin-PLGA nanoparticle complexes were prepared to enhance the aqueous humour delivery of Triamcinolone acetonide. Drug-loaded 2-HP-β-CD/PLGA nanoparticle complexes prepared by adapting a quasi-emulsion solvent evaporation technique. In vitro drug release, in vitro transcorneal permeation study, histopathological study and in vivo transcorneal penetration of PLGA nanoparticles and 2-HP-β-CD/PLGA nanoparticle complexes were evaluated. Particle size distributions of 2-HP-β-CD/PLGA nanoparticle complexes were 149.4 ± 3.7 nm and presented stable system. Corneal penetration studies revealed steady sustained drug release (First-order); 2-HP-β-CD/PLGA nanoparticle complexes increased ocular bioavailability by increasing dispersion in the tear film and improving drug release. 2-HP-β-CD/PLGA nanoparticle complex formulation is a promising alternative to conventional eye drops.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has shown potential for early disease diagnosis via urinary metabolomics, but still faces challenges in achieving stable hot spots and processing complex clinical data. In this study, the preparation of chiral gold nanostars with precisely controllable branch size, number, and sharpness was realized by investigating the effects of l-GSH and CTA ( indicates halides) on site occupancy, reduction rate, and selective adsorption on crystal facets. Raman spectroscopic characterization using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a reporter molecule revealed that nanoparticles with fewer branches, larger branch bases, and smoother surfaces exhibited excellent SERS activity, with an analytical enhancement factor (AEF) of 5.

Harnessing the significant buildup of lactic acid (LA) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) for metabolic manipulation presents a promising avenue for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, single-agent therapies often fail to address the complex and varying needs of TME heterogeneity, posing a substantial scientific hurdle in oncology. In this context, we employ asymmetric mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AMS NPs) as delivery vehicles, simultaneously loading them with zinc‑cobalt‑manganese ferrite nanoparticles (ZCMF NPs), lactate oxidase (LOX), and doxorubicin (DOX).

The detection of biological nanoparticles (NPs), such as viruses and extracellular vesicles (EVs), plays a critical role in medical diagnostics. However, these particles are optically faint, making microscopic detection in complex solutions challenging. Recent advancements have demonstrated that distinguishing between metallic and dielectric signals with twilight off-axis holographic microscopy makes it possible to differentiate between metal and biological NPs and to quantify complexes formed from metal and biological NPs binding together.

Programmable self-assembly has recently enabled the creation of complex structures through precise control of the interparticle interactions and the particle geometries. Targeting ever more structurally complex, dynamic, and functional assemblies necessitates going beyond the design of the structure itself, to the measurement and control of the local flexibility of the intersubunit connections and its impact on the collective mechanics of the entire assembly. In this study, we demonstrate a method to infer the mechanical properties of multisubunit assemblies using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and RELION's multi-body refinement.

We systematically evaluated the DNA adsorption and desorption efficiencies of several nanoparticles. Among them, titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles (NPs), aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) NPs, and zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs exhibited strong DNA-binding capacities under mild conditions. However, phosphate-mediated DNA displacement efficiencies varied considerably, with only TiO₂ NPs showing consistently superior performance.
