We demonstrate that a lower mol % B (30BC) is the ideal PEG-DB composition for PSNP/PEG-DB nanocomposites based on having both the highest endosome disruption potential and miR-122 inhibitory activity. At a 1 mM PNA dose, 30BCs facilitated more potent inhibition of miR-122 in comparison to 40BC (p = 0.0095), 50BC (p less then 0.0001), or an anti-miR-122 oligonucleotide delivered with the commercial transfection reagent Fugene 6. Using a live cell galectin 8-based endosome disruption reporter, 30BCs had greater endosomal escape than 40BCs and 50BCs within 2 h after treatment, suggesting that rapid endosome escape correlates with higher intracellular bioactivity. This study provides new insight on the polymer structure-dependent effects on stability, endosome escape, and cargo intracellular bioavailability for endosomolytic polymer-coated PSNPs.Ethanol sensors with ultrafast response and high sensitivity have attracted much attention to be applied to daily industrial production processes. In this work, graphene oxide-aniline (GOA) sensors are proposed to meet the requirements of detecting ethanol concentration. Graphene oxide is an outstanding material that has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, large specific surface area, and high carrier mobility. Because of its special bonding reactions, GOA has advantages of good dispersibility, good electrical conductivity, insolubility in water, and strong plasticity. When testing ethanol concentration with sensors, there will be a lag time, which determines the sensitivity of the sensors. To the best of our knowledge, the GOA sensors in this work have the fastest response time, which is only 27 ms. The GOA ethanol sensors show a good ethanol sensing performance, including excellent sensitivity, cycle stability, and long-term stability.π-conjugated gels are potentially useful for organic electronic applications. We present a π-conjugated ion gel, composed of substituted poly(para-phenyleneethynylene) (PPE) and an ionic liquid. This combination is well suited as an active material in a light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs). The nanosegregated structure of the gels achieves a large interface between the polymer and ionic liquid (IL) and allows-by nature of its structure-facile ion conduction and continuous electrical conduction paths. Efficient doping significantly improves the response time. This concept should be applicable to other π-conjugated gels, and it allows the construction of gel-LECs.Reactive oxygen species (ROSs), acting as functionalized molecules in intracellular enzyme reactions and intercellular communication of immune response, play vital roles in biological metabolism. However, the inevitably excessive ROS-induced oxidative stress is harmful for organ tissue, causing unexpected local anaphylaxis or inflammation. VcMMAE chemical structure Here, we demonstrate carbon dots (CDs), made of citric acid and glutathione via one-step hydrothermal method, as a highly efficient intracellular ROS scavenger for alleviating the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in macrophage. These CDs have broad-spectrum antioxidant properties and the total antioxidant activity exceeds 51.6% higher than that of the precursor, namely, glutathione, in the same mass concentration. Moreover, their antioxidative performance in macrophage inflammation induced by LPS was investigated, and it was found that CDs can efficiently remove up to 98% of intracellular ROS, notably inhibiting nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) signaling pathway, and decrease the expression level of inflammatory factor IL-12. Our results suggested that CDs can serve as a highly efficient intracellular ROS scavenger and could be employed to cope with oxidative stress-induced diseases.Polypyrrole (PPy) is a good candidate material for piezoresistive pressure sensors owing to its excellent electrical conductivity and good biocompatibility. However, it remains challenging to fabricate PPy-based flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors with high sensitivity because of the intrinsic rigidity and brittleness of the film composed of dense PPy particles. Here, a rational structure, that is, 3D-conductive and elastic topological film composed of coaxial nanofiber networks, is reported to dramatically improve the sensitivity of flexible PPy-based sensors. The film is prepared through surface modification of electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers by polydopamine (PDA), in order to homogeneously deposit PPy particles on the nanofiber networks with strong interfacial adhesion (PVDF/PDA/PPy, PPP). This unique structure has a high surface area and abundant contact sites, leading to superb sensitivity against a subtle pressure. The as-developed piezoresistive pressure sensor delivers a low limit of detection (0.9 Pa), high sensitivity (139.9 kPa-1), fast response (22 ms), good cycling stability (over 10,000 cycles), and reliability, thereby showing a promising value for applications in the fields of health monitoring and artificial intelligence.The current strategy using the assembly of medicines and active functional molecules to develop nanomedicines often requires both molecules to have a specific matched chemical molecular structure; however, this is often difficult to predict, execute, and control in practical applications. Herein, we reported a general solvent-mediated disassembly/reassembly strategy for preparing nanomedicines based on epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) active molecules. The polyphenol colloidal spheres (CSs) were self-assembled from molecular condensed EGCG in aqueous solution but disassembled in organic solvents and reassembled in aqueous solution. The solvent-mediated disassembly and reassembly capability of CSs gave rise to the active binding of condensed EGCG to various hydrophilic and hydrophobic guest molecules. The maximum encapsulation and drug-loading rate of reassembled CSs/DOX were 90 and 44%, respectively, and the nanomedicines could reverse drug resistance of tumor cells and exhibit enhanced therapeutic effects for breast cancer. Last but not least, 37.3 g of polyphenol CSs was massively produced at one time with a yield of 74.6%, laying a solid foundation for the practical applications of reassembled nanomedicines. The present strategy leading to a general nanomedicines platform was concise and highly efficient for both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, making a breakthrough for low loading dilemma of current nanomedicines, and would open up a new direction for the preparation of nanocarriers, nanocomposites, and nanomedicines from natural polyphenols.
