Article Abstract
The agricultural sector faces significant challenges from weed-induced crop losses, driving increased herbicide use and associated environmental and health risks. Controlled-release formulations (CRFs) of herbicides offer a promising solution by employing advanced materials such as synthetic and natural polymers, clay minerals, siliceous materials, and nanoparticles to optimize the release and efficacy of active ingredients (AIs). This review explores the mechanisms of controlled release - desorption, diffusion, osmosis, and matrix dissolution - and examines the role of carrier properties in modulating AI release kinetics. Advances in smart nanocarriers and encapsulation technologies demonstrate improved precision, reduced herbicide usage, and minimal impact on soil microbiomes, fostering sustainable agriculture. Despite these innovations, challenges remain in standardizing processes, enhancing cost-effectiveness, and scaling up field applications. This study emphasizes the critical balance between improving agricultural productivity and minimizing ecological harm, highlighting the potential of CRFs to revolutionize weed management practices while preserving soil health and ecosystem integrity.

The clinical use of gemcitabine (GEM), a frontline chemotherapeutic agent for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), is limited by its short half-life, rapid systemic clearance, associated dose-limiting toxicities and a faster development of resistance in pancreatic cancer. Aspirin (ASP), a repurposed NSAID, has been shown to sensitize PDAC cells to GEM through modulation of multiple oncogenic and inflammatory pathways. However, its clinical use is restricted by dose-dependent gastrointestinal toxicity.

Polymer particles, including synthetic polymers such as poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) (P(S-co-DVB)) beads, have been widely used as enzymatic supports and drug carriers. In this sense, it is important to understand the stabilization or degradation of such polymer matrices under specific chemical and enzymatic media. For this reason, the present work aims to evaluate the current status and prospects of treatments of PMMA and P(S-co-DVB) particles intended for biotechnological and biomedical applications under basic, acidic, and enzymatic environments.
