Abstract
Electrostatic interactions between the zeolite cavity and confined noble-metal nanoparticles govern the photophysical properties of these materials. A better understanding of these interactions can afford new perspectives in optoelectronics applications. We investigated this interplay by revealing the peculiar photophysical properties of Ag clusters embedded in nanosized faujasite zeolite structures. Crystal size and steady state optical properties were characterized via integrated light and electron microscopy (ILEM) and steady state spectroscopy. Extensive time-resolved spectroscopy experiments performed on femtosecond to millisecond time scales revealed excited state dynamics that are intriguingly different from those observed for their micrometer sized counterpart. Multiscale modeling investigations were performed to rationalize the effect of the crystal size on the photophysical properties. Our results indicate that for the nanosized crystals, the emissive properties as well as the radiative and nonradiative processes involving the Ag clusters are dramatically dependent on the surface charge density and surface charge balance.

J Control Release 2022; 349:241-253.

Abstract
Although mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are widely used as anticancer drug carriers, unmodified MSNs induce off-target effects and at high doses, there are adverse effects of hemolysis because of the interaction with the silanol group on the surface and cells. In this study, we developed doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded MSNs coated with mannose grafted poly (acrylic acid) copolymer (DOX@MSNs-man-g-PAA) to enhance the hemocompatibility and target efficacy to cancer cells. This uniform nanosized DOX@MSNs-man-g-PAA showed sustained and pH-dependent drug release with improved hemocompatibility over the bare MSNs. The uptake of the DOX@MSN-man-g-PAA in breast cancer cells was significantly improved by mannose receptor-mediated endocytosis, which showed significant increasing intracellular ROS and changes in mitochondrial membrane potential. This formulation exhibited superior tumor-suppressing activity in the MDA-MB-231 cells inoculated mice. Overall, the present study suggested the possibility of the copolymer-coated MSNs as drug carriers for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Zeolites are porous minerals with high absorbency and ion-exchange capacity. Their molecular structure is a dense network of AlO4 and SiO4 that generates cavities where water and other polar molecules or ions are inserted/exchanged. Even though there are several synthetic or natural occurring species of zeolites, the most widespread and studied is the naturally occurring zeolite clinoptilolite (ZC). ZC is an excellent detoxifying, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. As a result, it is been used in many industrial applications ranging from environmental remediation to oral applications/supplementation in vivo in humans as food supplements or medical devices. Moreover, the modification as micronization of ZC (M-ZC) or tribomechanically activated zeolite clinoptilolite (TMAZ) or furthermore as double tribomechanically activated zeolite clinoptilolite (PMA-ZC) allows improving its benefits in preclinical and clinical models. Despite its extensive use, many underlying action mechanisms of ZC in its natural or modified forms are still unclear, especially in humans. The main aim of this review is to shed light on the geochemical aspects and therapeutic potentials of ZC with a vision of endorsing further preclinical and clinical research on zeolites, in specific on the ZC and its modified forms as a potential agent for promoting human brain health and overall well-being.

Abstract
Nanoparticular drug delivery system (NDDS) has great potential for enhancing the efficacy of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs. However, it is still a great challenge to fabricate a biocompatible NDDS with simple structure capable of optimizing therapeutic efficacy, such as high tumor accumulation, suitable drug release profile (e.g. no premature drug leakage in normal physiological conditions while having a rapid release in cancer cells), low immunogenicity, as well as good biocompatibility. In this work, a simple core/shell structured nanoparticle was fabricated for prostate cancer treatment, in which a mesoporous silica nanoparticle core was applied as a container to high-efficiently encapsulate drugs (doxorubicin, DOX), CaCO3 interlayer was designed to act as sheddable pH-sensitive gatekeepers for controlling drug release, and cancer cell membrane wrapped outlayer could improve the colloid stability and tumor accumulation capacity. In vitro cell experiments demonstrated that the as-prepared nanovehicles (denoted as DOX/MSN@CaCO3@CM) could be efficiently uptaken by LNCaP-AI prostate cancer cells and even exhibited a better anti-tumor efficiency than free DOX. In addition, Live/Dead cell detection and apoptosis experiment demonstrated that MSN/DOX@CaCO3@CM could effectively induce apoptosis-related death in prostate cancer cells. In vivo antitumor results demonstrated that DOX/MSN@CaCO3@CM administration could remarkably suppress the tumor growth. Compared with other tedious approaches to optimize the therapeutic efficacy, this study provides an effective drug targeting system only using naturally biomaterials for the treatment of prostate cancer, which might have great potential in clinic usage.
