This mini-review discusses recent advances in catalase-like nanozymes for the treating diabetic ulcers. It covers the pathogenesis of diabetic ulcers with focus on hypoxia, their applications in in vivo diabetic ulcer models, and future perspectives.

This review highlights recent advances in non-invasive in vivo imaging tools and their applications in tracking cell-based cancer immunotherapies, providing a framework for real-time monitoring and predictive efficacy assessment.

In osteoarthritic-like environments, cartilage formation was reduced and inflammatory response was higher, and including hyaluronic acid in hydrogels modulated this response.

An overview of the development of a vaccine for High-Grade Serous Carcinoma.

This study introduces a biocompatible, stimuli-responsive theranostic system with ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIONs) encapsulated within the hyaluronic acid-b-poly(lactic acid) (HA–PLA) polymersome membrane and a model protein in the core.

The transfection efficiency of mRNA-loaded polyplexes was improved by treating NK cells with NaCl-mediated hypertonic culture media.

Schematic showing the development of the multifaceted VEGF-activated scaffolds to promote pro-regenerative environments for chronic wound applications.

Repair of damaged or faulty complex modular organs such as the urinary bladder is a current clinical challenge.

Nanovesicles extracted from stem cells using blue light-based photobiomodulation enhance fibroblast ECM synthesis, angiogenesis, and WNT/β-catenin activation in hair follicle dermal papilla cells.

Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) is a bioceramic widely used in hard tissue engineering for bone replacement.

A size-reducing nanoparticle was synthesized by cross-linking β-cyclodextrin-cored multiarm polymers through a boronate ester, showing high tumor permeability and therapeutic effect.

Bone tissue engineering (BTE) strategies have been developed to address challenges in orthopedic and dental therapy by expediting osseointegration and new bone formation.
