Biomimetic Metal-Organic Framework Nanoparticles for Cooperatively Combination of Antiangiogenesis and Photodynamic Therapy for Enhanced Efficacy
摘要： Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising anticancer treatment and is clinically approved for different types of tumors. However, current PDT suffers several obstacles, including its neutralization by excess glutathione (GSH) in the tumor tissue and its strongly proangiogenic tumor response. In this work, a biomimic, multifunctional nanoparticle-based PDT agent, combining a tumor-targeted photosensitizer with GSH scavenging and antiangiogenesis therapy, is developed. A porphyrinic Zr–metal–organic framework nanoparticle is used simultaneously as the photosensitizer and the delivery vehicle of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) inhibitor apatinib. The core nanoparticles are wrapped in MnO2 to consume the intratumoral GSH and then decorated with a tumor cell membrane camouflage. After intravenous administration, the nanoparticles selectively accumulate in tumor through homotypic targeting mediated by the biomimic decoration, and the combination of enhanced PDT and antiangiogenic drug significantly improves their tumor inhibition efficiency. This study provides an integrated solution for mechanism-based enhancement of PDT and demonstrates the encouraging potential for multifunctional nanosystem applicable for tumor therapy.

Tessellation of Chiral-Nematic Cellulose Nanocrystal Films by Microtemplating
摘要： In biological architectures, material properties are optimized by the hierarchical structuring of components with a multiscaled order, from the nano- to the macroscales. Such designs enable, for instance, programmed yield points that maximize toughness. However, research efforts in biomimetic materials have focused on the assembly of nano- or macrostructures individually. In this study, high strength cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), assembled into chiral-nematically ordered structures, are tiled into a higher level, macro-sized, architecture by topographical templating. As templates, two meshed architectures with distinct feature sizes are evaluated, and the optomechanical properties of the resulting films are compared to featureless, flat, CNC films. Controlling capillary stresses arising during CNC assembly is shown to enable control over the orientation of the chiral-nematic director across the topography of the template. Tuning the specific reflections and multiscaled fracture propagation is demonstrated for the microtemplated CNC films. The latter phenomenon contributed to enhancing the toughness of the material through a high tortuosity of fracture propagation in all (x, y, z) directions. The presented findings are expected to pave the way towards the incorporation of current research in cellular metamaterials with the research focusing on the generation of nanoscaled biomimetic constructs.

Synthesis and photocatalytic properties of biomimetic morphology silicon carbide
摘要： Silicon carbide materials with bionic morphology are prepared by impregnation-calcination method using the template of leaf vein. The microstructure, element composition, and band gap of biomimetic morphology silicon carbide are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). Photocatalytic property of biomimetic morphology silicon carbide has been measured by the dye decolorization reaction. The results demonstrate that calcination temperature has the important effect on the formation of silicon carbide. The morphology of silicon carbide can keep the original biomimetic shape of leaf vein template, and there is meosporous structure with a diameter of 2-4 nm on the interior of material. The average gain size of materials is about 16.9 nm and the specific surface area of materials is about 84.7 m2/g. After calculation, the band gap of material is 3.02 eV. For performance testing, the degradation rate of silicon carbide is 92.86% for the first time, and after the fourth repetition, the degradation rate decreased to 86.74%.

CaP Coating and Low-Level Laser Therapy to Stimulate Early Bone Formation and Improve Fixation of Rough Threaded Implants
摘要： Purpose: This study aimed to compare in vivo osteogenesis on rough threaded dental implants with and without calcium phosphate (CaP) coating deposition, alone or in association with low-level laser therapy (LLLT) by gallium aluminum arsenide. Material and Methods: Four groups were studied: G1: implant; G2: implant + CaP coating; G3: implant + LLLT; and G4: implant + CaP coating + LLLT. LLLT was applied for 7 days at the surgical site before and after placing the implant. Topographic characterization was performed before surgery using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersion spectrophotometry. Bone-implant contact (BIC) was measured after 1, 2, and 6 weeks and reverse torque after 6 weeks. In short periods, G2, G3, and G4 showed significantly greater BIC than G1 (P < 0.05), but no difference in BIC was observed at 6 weeks. However, the values for the removal torque test at 6 weeks were higher in G2 and G4 (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Both CaP coating alone and using LLLT induce cellular stimulation and improve BIC in short-term healing, resulting in higher implant fixation, and should be considered in clinical practice due to their low cost and high effectiveness.

Facile green synthesis of organosilica nanoparticles by a generic “salt route”
摘要： Colloidal silica has wide applications and the global demand of specialty silica is continually increasing. Therefore, it is significant to develop a synthetic method that is simple, versatile, energy-saving, ecologically benign, and easily scalable. Biomimetic synthesis of colloidal silica represents a promising strategy; however, it often requires the synthesis or extraction of specialized macromolecules. In this paper, we present a novel aqueous, one-pot, and green route for synthesis of organosilica nanoparticles. The reaction systems contain only water, an organosilane precursor, a salt, and a commonly used surfactant or amphiphilic polymer. The reaction was performed at ambient conditions without adding any additional solvent, energy, and harsh chemicals. The key findings include the novel identification of 5 salts (i.e. nitrite, fluoride, dibasic phosphate, acetate, and sulfite) that can catalyze organosilica condensation and the resulting formation of nano-colloids. Moreover, the presence of amphiphilic molecules is essential for salt catalysis at low salt concentrations and at nearly neutral pH. Solid-state NMR and in-situ ATR-FTIR studies confirmed that organosilica condensation is highly efficient under the mild reaction condition. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that "soft" interaction between salts and surfactants (or polymers) can be utilized to construct an effective platform for synthesis of "hard" organosilica particles. The proposed method is generic and applicable to a wide range of commonly used surfactants (viz. non-ionic, anionic, cationic) and amphiphilic polymers, as well as to organosilanes with various hydrophobic functional groups (e.g. mercaptopropyl, vinyl, and methyl).

"Two-in-One" Strategy of o-Amino and Aromatic Nitrogen in Biomimetic Metal-Organic Frameworks for Efficient CO2 Photoconversion
摘要： Visible-light driven photoconversion of CO2 into energy carriers is highly important to the natural carbon balance and sustainable development. Herein, we demonstrate the biological nucleobase adenine-dependent CO2 photoreduction performance in green biomimetic metal-organic frameworks. Photocatalytic results indicate that AD-MOF-2 exhibited a very high HCOOH production rate of 443.2 μmol g-1 h-1 in pure aqueous solution, which is more than two times higher than that of AD-MOF-1 (179.0 μmol hour?1 g?1) in acetonitrile solution. Significantly, experimental and theoretical evidences reveal that CO2 photoreduction reaction mainly takes place on biological adenine molecules by unique o-amino assisted active aromatic nitrogen atom rather than traditional metal center. This work not only serves as an important case study for the development of green biomimetic photocatalysts used for artificial photosynthesis, but also proposes a new catalytic strategy for efficient CO2 photoconversion.

Biomimetic Polyimide-Supported Cuprous Oxide Photocatalytic Film with Tunable Hydrophobicity, Improved Thermal Stability, and Photocatalytic Activity toward CO <sub/>2</sub> Reduction
摘要： Flexible and thermally stable polyimide (PI) ?lms containing a hierarchical surface structure were synthesized as substrates to support visible-light active cuprous oxide for photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide for the ?rst time. With the nanocasting technique, the surface structure on the leaves of Xanthosoma sagittifolium was successfully duplicated on PI ?lms. Followed by the ion-exchange process and adequate thermal treatment, cuprous oxide nanoparticles were successfully immobilized on the arti?cial PI leaves and exhibited the capability to photoreduce carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide under visible-light illumination. With the selection of biomimetic structures and adjustment of fabrication parameters, the hydrophobicity and optical absorption edge of the photocatalytic ?lm were tunable. An increase in hydrophobicity improved the yield of carbon monoxide. The introduction of a hierarchical structure on the surface and cuprous oxide within the matrix dramatically enhanced the thermal stability of the PI ?lm. The ?exible photocatalytic ?lm is a promising material for the applications requiring high mechanical and thermal stability, such as industrial ?ue-gas treatments.

Light- and humidity-driven actuators with programmable complex shape-deformations
摘要： Programmable complex shape-deformation, multi-responsive property and convenient fabrication are all crucial for the development of actuators. However, a simultaneous realization of all these advantages has not been reported. Here, we report a new type of light- and humidity-driven actuator with programmable complex shape-deformations. The fabrication employs a laser printing technology. The light-driven actuation is based on a dual-mode actuation mechanism which utilizes the water adsorption/desorption properties. When irradiated by near infrared light, the actuator shows a large bending actuation with a curvature up to 2.1 cm-1. More importantly, programmable complex shape-deformations can be realized by printing patterns with different/gradient grayscale distributions on the actuators. The bending rates and amplitudes of actuators can be programmed and controlled. Complex 3D shapes, such as an anomalous tube and a helical cylinder, are obtained. In addition, the actuator can also perform a curvature of 1.3 cm-1 when driven by humidity. Finally, a series of smart biomimetic devices with programmable complex shape-deformations are demonstrated, including a self-adjustment iris responding to incident light, a biomimetic hand demonstrating a complex “OK” gesture, and a lotus with folding petals of different bending rates. This new-type actuator will have great potential in robotics and biomimetic applications.

Hybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nano-Diamond Composites
摘要： This paper discusses a new class of bio-mechanical scaffolds active for tissue engineering based on a nano-diamond-filled hydrophilic polymer matrix. The new biomaterials used have special mechanical and biological properties for which they should be extensively studied for their use for various advanced biomedical applications. The new hybrid material has been prepared using 2 and 5% by volume of detonating nano-diamonds and poly (hydroxy-ethyl-methacrylate) hydrophilic. Both the mechanical and biological properties specific to the nanocomposite are hybrids in nature. The paper presents the analytical procedures of the hybrid material and the preliminary mechanical characterization. This class of hybrid materials has a high potential for biomimetic, osteoconductive and osteoinductive applications as active bio-mechanical bones for increasing osteoblasts and differentiating stem cells. At the same time, these hybrid nano-composites possess a much improved mechanical strength that exceeds the mechanical deficiencies of the hydrogels traditionally used for bone regeneration and can be applied as an osteoinductive coating for metal trabecular scaffolds. Micro-trabecular metal structures coated with active and osteoinductive biomechanical ceramic-polymeric biomechanical scaffolds are proposed to recreate macro and micro-distribution of bone stresses and deformations.

A Biomimetic Plasmonic Nanoreactor for Reliable Metabolite Detection
摘要： Reliable monitoring of metabolites in biofluids is critical for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various diseases. Although widely used, existing enzymatic metabolite assays face challenges in clinical practice primarily due to the susceptibility of enzyme activity to external conditions and the low sensitivity of sensing strategies. Inspired by the micro/nanoscale confined catalytic environment in living cells, the coencapsulation of oxidoreductase and metal nanoparticles within the nanopores of macroporous silica foams to fabricate all-in-one bio-nanoreactors is reported herein for use in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based metabolic assays. The enhancement of catalytical activity and stability of enzyme against high temperatures, long-time storage or proteolytic agents are demonstrated. The nanoreactors recognize and catalyze oxidation of the metabolite, and provide ratiometric SERS response in the presence of the enzymatic by-product H2O2, enabling sensitive metabolite quantification in a “sample in and answer out” manner. The nanoreactor makes any oxidoreductase-responsible metabolite a candidate for quantitative SERS sensing, as shown for glucose and lactate. Glucose levels of patients with bacterial infection are accurately analyzed with only 20 μL of cerebrospinal fluids, indicating the potential application of the nanoreactor in vitro clinical testing.
