Abstract Hydrogel‐based materials represent promising candidates for drug delivery. In our research, we synthesized a series of hydrogels—PVATU‐1 (2:1), PVATU‐2 (1:1), and PVATU‐3 (0.5:1)—by adjusting the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) ratio while maintaining constant allylthiourea (ATU) monomer glutaraldehyde cross‐linker, aiming to understand their impacts on gelation. These PVATU hydrogels displayed impressive swelling in neutral conditions exhibited visible self‐healing capabilities. Notably, PVATU‐1 shows superior mechanical strength among variants. Surface analysis using AFM SEM unveiled porous structures within hydrogels, thermal stability tests indicated resilience up 200°C. DSC revealed minimal variation glass transition temperatures ( T g ), affirming stability. A distinct endothermic peak around 250–350°C across all confirmed semi‐crystalline nature, corroborated by powder XRD. Noteworthy, demonstrated optimal loading releasing efficiency levofloxacin, with 74.5% 82.8% 18 h. Biocompatibility assessments HeLa cells affirmed nontoxicity hydrogel treatments.

Abstract Tuberculosis, a fatal infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M.tb ), is difficult to treat with antibiotics due drug resistance and short half‐life. Phototherapy represents promising alternative in combating . Exploring an intelligent material allowing effective treatment definitely appealing, yet significantly challenging task. Herein, all‐in‐one biomimetic therapeutic nanoparticle featured aggregation‐induced second near‐infrared emission, granuloma‐targeting, self‐oxygenation constructed, which can serve for prominent fluorescence imaging‐navigated combined phototherapy toward tuberculosis. After camouflaging the erythrocyte membrane, nanoparticles show prolonged blood circulation increased selective accumulation granuloma. Upon laser irradiation, loading photosensitizer of emission elevates production reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing damage death. The delivery relieve hypoxic granuloma microenvironment supports ROS generation during photodynamic therapy. Meanwhile, photothermal agent, Prussian blue nanoparticles, plays role good killing effect on Moreover, growth proliferation colonies are effectively inhibited nanoparticle‐treated tuberculous model mice, suggesting effects enhancing therapy

A biodegradable and biocompatible micellar-based drug delivery system was developed using amphiphilic methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-cholesterol (C1) poly(ethylene glycol)-S-S-cholesterol (C2) conjugates applied to the tumoral release of water-insoluble curcumin. These synthesized surfactants C1 C2 were found form stable micelles (CMC ∼ 6 μM) an average hydrodynamic size around 20-25 nm. The curcumin-encapsulated micelle formulated by a solvent evaporation method. very high encapsulation efficiency (EE) ∼88% loading (DL) capacity ∼9% determined for both micelles. From reduced rate curcumin degradation differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis, stability curcumin-loaded be higher than that unloaded micelle, which confirmed more compact structural arrangement in presence hydrophobic pH-sensitive (faster with decrease pH) observed attributed diffusion relaxation/erosion micellar aggregates. To achieve reduction environment-sensitive release, disulfide (S-S) chemical linkage-incorporated mPEG-cholesterol conjugate synthesized, show glutathione-responsive faster vitro experiments carried out SCC9 oral cancer cell lines showed blank noncytotoxic at lower concentrations (<50 μM), while inhibited proliferation promoted apoptosis.
