Article Abstract
Core-shell structures exhibit a number of distinct absorptive properties that make them attractive tools for use in a range of industrial contexts including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, cosmetics, and food/agriculture. Several recent studies have focused on the development and fabrication of zein-based core-shell structures for a range of functional material deliveries. However, no recent review article has evaluated the fabrication of such core-shell structures for food-based applications. In this paper, we therefore survey current approaches to fabricating different zein-based platforms including particles, fibers, films, and hydrogels that have appeared in a variety of functionally relevant applications. In addition, we highlight certain challenges and future research directions in this field, thereby providing a novel perspective on zein-based core-shell structures.

Melasma is a facial hyperpigmentation disease that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Clinical treatment is limited by the short half-lives and hydrophilicity of drugs, necessitating release curve optimization to maintain a stable therapeutic concentration for an extended period. This article utilizes natural biomaterials to design a core-shell structured microneedle, combining the "immediate release" and "delayed release" module to achieve programmed drug release.

Ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) is critical for efficient ammonia utilization as a hydrogen carrier, yet state-of-the-art Pt-based catalysts suffer significant activity loss due to strong NO species (NO, NO) adsorption. Herein, Pd@Pt mesoporous core-shell nanospheres with interstitial Co in Pt shell (Pd@Pt-Co MCSN) are demonstrated as an excellent AOR electrocatalyst, which achieves a mass activity of 293.6 A g at 0.

Lanthanide-doped fluoride nanoparticles show great potential for optical thermometry and bioimaging. However, their applications are still constrained by inherent limitations in luminescence intensity and functional versatility. To overcome these challenges, we propose a core-active shell-inert shell nanostructure that integrates multifunctional capabilities within a single platform.

The efficient and sustainable remediation of contaminated water calls for catalytic systems that must clean broadly, endure widely, and last repeatedly. In this regard, we report the development of sulfonate-functionalized core-shell hydrogel beads embedded with synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that exhibit intrinsic oxidase-like activity without requiring external light or chemical oxidants. The sulfonate ligands modulate the surface electronic environment of the AuNPs, facilitating singlet oxygen generation via a nonplasmonic, radiationless mechanism.

Precisely structured nanoclusters provide ideal platforms for elucidating structural evolution and structure-activity relationships. However, mechanistic understanding of dynamic core-shell rearrangements has long been impeded by the elusive nature of intermediates during transformation processes. Here, we show that ligand engineering-driven asymmetric thiolate exchange enables atomic-level visualization of structural evolution, thereby overcoming the long-standing challenge of intermediate capture.
