Abstract Native tissues exhibit hierarchical structures of anisotropically arranged extracellular matrix that dynamically regulate stem cells and tissue function. However, neither multiscale nano‐anisotropy nor dynamic anisotropy control have been reported. In this study, spherical or rod‐shaped gold small‐nanomaterials (at integrin receptor‐scale; tens nanometers) are coupled to the surface magnetic large‐nanomaterials focal adhesion complex‐scale; hundreds nanometers), with both showing constant areas at each respective scale. Each nanocomposite is flexibly conjugated substrate material densities, resulting in dual‐scale liganded nano‐anisotropies. Increasing aspect ratio nanomaterials nanometer‐scale dominantly promotes recruitment, adhesion, mechanotransduction, differentiation over nanometer‐scale. Such scale‐specific effects on cell regulation temporally regulated vitro vivo by physically raising lowering nanocomposites respectively inhibit stimulate curved surfaces modulating membrane bending. unprecedented “dynamic ligand anisotropy” can be independently engineered regarding scales, anisotropies, ligands elucidate cell‐material interactions allow for multimodal enhance tissue‐regenerative therapy.

Obesity is defined as chronic, low-grade inflammation within specific tissues. Given the escalating prevalence of obesity among individuals all ages, has reached epidemic proportions, posing an important public health challenge. Despite significant advancements in treating obesity, conventional approaches remain largely ineffective or involve severe side effects, thus underscoring pressing need to explore and develop treatment approaches. Targeted local immunomodulation using nanoparticles (NPs) can influence fat production utilization processes. Statins, known for their anti-inflammatory properties, show potential mitigating obesity-related inflammation. A localized delivery option offers several advantages over oral parenteral methods. Here, we developed simvastatin (Sim) encapsulated PLGA NPs (Sim-NP) Sim adipose tissues (ATs) treat obesity. In vitro experiments revealed strong effects Sim-NPs, which resulted enhanced modulation macrophage (MΦ) polarization induction AT browning. We then extended our investigation

Abstract Precise cancer nanomedicine requires rational molecular instructions of therapeutic agents. Harnessing the structure‐property‐function relationships represents a practical strategy toward smart and effective nanomedicine. A structurally novel hydrogen‐bonded (H‐bonded) supramolecular nanoformulation generated by orthogonal self‐sorting assembly chemo‐prodrug (FPtF) phototherapeutics (BPeB) is here reported, to reach an autonomous with improved anti‐tumor efficacy combining chemo/phototherapy (CT/PT). The high‐fidelity H‐bonding modularity from privileged heterocomplementary diaminopyridine/5‐fluorouracil (DAP/FU) Hamilton wedge/barbiturate (HW/Ba) pairs, respectively enable precise spatial control binding interactions FPtF BPeB, in turn allowing process specific “mix‐and‐match” capability. To directly stimulate phototherapy BPeB via near‐infrared (NIR) light, spectral matched upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs, β‐NaYF 4 :Yb,Er) are encapsulated simultaneously. As result, polymeric nanomicelles, i.e., F/B/U@PHDO, readily fabricated. Moreover, distinct association constant (Ka) DAP/FU (≈10 2 M −1 ) HW/Ba 4‐5 pairs reflect different strengths stabilities H‐bonds, thus endowing programmable dissociation, accompanied release through pH/thermal‐stimuli. Therapeutic regime appreciated outcomes ultimately accomplished combined CT/PT. opportunities offered design anticipated point new paradigm for therapy.
