Transient mild photothermia improves therapeutic performance of oral nanomedici...
Ma, Ya; Gou, Shuangquan; Zhu, Zhenhua; Sun, Jianfeng; Shahbazi, Mohammad-Ali; Si,Tieyan; Xu, Cheng; Ru, Jinlong; Shi, Xiaoxiao; Reis, R. L.The treatment outcomes of oral medications against ulcerative colitis (UC) have long been restricted by low drug accumulation in the colitis mucosa and subsequent unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy. Here, high-performance pluronic F127 (P127)-modified gold shell (AuS)-polymeric core nanotherapeutics loading with curcumin (CUR) is constructed. Under near-infrared irradiation, the resultant P127-AuS@CURs generat...
Extracellular vesicles from nanomedicine-trained intestinal microbiota substitu...
Zu, Menghang; Liu, Ga; Xu, Haiting; Zhu, Zhenhua; Zhen, Junfeng; Shi, Baoyi; Shahbazi, Mohammad-Ali; Reis, R. L.; Kundu, Subhas C; Nie, GuangjunThe biosafety concerns associated with fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) limit their clinical application in treating ulcerative colitis (UC). Gut microbiota secrete abundant extracellular vesicles (Gm-EVs), which play a critical role in bacteria-to-bacteria and bacteria-to-host communications. Herein, intestinal microbiota are trained using tea leaf lipid/pluronic F127-coated curcumin nanocrystals (CN@Lp127s),...
