Catechol-functionalized alginate–PEG wet-spun fibers were polydopamine-coated and loaded with platelet lysate for sustained release. In diabetic mice, the dressing increased fibroblast proliferation, angiogenesis, and accelerated wound healing.
A mannan-functionalized UCNP surface strategy improves stability and facilitates selective macrophage targeting for bioimaging and theranostic applications. Image created using BioRender, see article for details.
Strategies for the surface modification of upconversion nanoparticles were explored, and the prepared conjugates were employed as labels in immunoassays for cancer biomarker detection.
Highly colloidally stable upconverting nanoparticles encapsulated in poly(glycerol monomethacrylate) by RAFT miniemulsion polymerization were non-toxic and exhibited antifouling properties.
The development of multifunctional theranostic glyconanoprobes for breast cancer is distinguished by their tumor-targeting capability and enhanced antitumor efficacy, achieved through synergistic chemo-gene and photothermal therapy.
