Article Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) induces a prolonged inflammatory response throughout the damaged brain, which is exacerbated by the sustained accumulation of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and consequently impairs endogenous neural regeneration significantly. To mitigate postinjury inflammation and explore the role of positively charged scaffolds in brain repair, two distinct structures of positively charged scaffolds were developed. Both scaffold types effectively reduce inflammation and promote brain tissue repair by eliminating DAMPs, markedly reducing glial scar formation, and promoting angiogenesis in peritrauma areas within 4 weeks of implantation. Notably, scaffolds with cationic backbones exhibit repair outcomes superior to those of other groups due to reduced cellular stimulation and milder chronic inflammation. This study underscores the potential of positively charged scaffolds for central nervous system (CNS) regeneration and provides novel insights into the design of tissue engineering scaffolds for CNS repair.

Persistent bacterial infections remain a major challenge in wound management. Although drug-loaded wound dressings have gained increasing attention, their therapeutic efficacy is often hindered by uncontrolled drug release and a lack of electrical signal responsiveness. Herein, an antibacterial dressing (CCS-PC) with electroactivity and stimulus-responsive drug release properties was fabricated via electro-assembly, wherein chitosan and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIP) were co-deposited onto polypyrrole (PPy)-coated gauze.

Merocyanine photoacids (MCHs) have found applications in chemical, material, energy, and biomedical areas, and are currently being investigated for industrial applications. Hydrolysis, relatively high dark acidity, and moderate solubility in water are the major concerns for their practical applications. Inspired by the structure of the cell membrane, we incorporated the most commonly used MCH into sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles.

Innate immunity is crucial in orchestrating the brain immune response, however, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has evolved sophisticated mechanisms to evade innate immune surveillance, posing significant challenges for current immunotherapies. Here, a therapeutic strategy is reported that aims at reactivating innate immune responses in GBM via targeted induction of mitochondrial stress, thereby enhancing tumor immunogenicity. Specifically, innate immune-stimulating nanoparticles (INSTNA) are developed, encapsulating positively charged iridium-based complexes (Ir-mito) and small interfering RNA against Methylation-Controlled J protein (si-MCJ) to attenuate mitochondrial respiration.

Airborne pathogens and pollution control typically necessitate multiple membranes, each specializing in efficient aerosol filtration, moisture regulation, or antimicrobial protection. Integrating all these functions into a single membrane is highly advantageous but remains inherently challenging due to material incompatibility and inevitable performance trade-offs. Here, we present a photoactive Janus nanofibrous membrane for highly efficient air purification, engineered via sequential electrospinning.

The presentation of peptides on HLA molecules is essential to CD8 T cell responses. Here, we show that loss of uL14 significantly downregulates the expression of antigen processing and presentation (APP) components in melanoma cell lines. Peptides generated following knockdown show different characteristics, with altered peptide charge, and differences in anchor residue positions.
