pH-responsive and sustained release drug delivery system of BSA coated CDs-DOX

Qianqian Duan et al.

Summary: A novel pH-responsive drug delivery system based on carbon quantum dots (CDs) was proposed, with bovine serum albumin (BSA) introduced to prepare a stable drug delivery system BSA@CDs-DOX. The system showed enhanced stability and prolonged release profile, with significantly reduced drug side effects on normal cells and improved killing effect on cancerous cells. Excellent and sustained migration resistance was observed, indicating good application prospect in chemotherapy of tumors.

Bio-Responsive Carriers for Controlled Delivery of Doxorubicin to Cancer Cells

Gheorghe Fundueanu et al.

Summary: In this study, pH/temperature-responsive carriers were designed and characterized for the delivery of the anti-tumoral drug doxorubicin. The carriers disintegrated and released the drug under endosomal and lysosomal conditions. The results showed that the carriers were more effective in delivering the drug to hepatic carcinoma cells HepG2 compared to lung adenocarcinoma cells A549, resulting in increased cytotoxicity. Additionally, the carriers were found to be biocompatible and reduced the renal clearance of doxorubicin when administered in vivo. These findings suggest the potential importance of the newly developed carriers for the treatment of hepatic tumors.

Soft materials as biological and artificial membranes

Shukun Tang et al.

Summary: This review discusses the emergence of soft materials in synthetic biology, with a focus on biological and artificial membranes. It highlights the construction of non-native membranes and polymeric membranes for medical applications, as well as the preparation of artificial membranes using synthetic materials. By modifying artificial membranes through traditional chemical methods, such as click reactions, targeted delivery of nanocarriers and controlled release of therapeutics can be achieved. Biological membranes with active domains play a crucial role in disease targeting and inspire the development of nanocarriers with artificial membranes for complex diseases.
