    Abstract The applications of nanoreactors in biology are becoming increasingly significant and prominent. Specifically, nanoreactors with spatially confined, due to their exquisite design that effectively limits the spatial range of biomolecules, attracted widespread attention. The main advantage of this structure is designed to improve reaction selectivity and efficiency by accumulating reactants and catalysts within the chambers, thus increasing the frequency of collisions between reactants. Herein, the recent progress in the synthesis of spatially confined nanoreactors and their biological applications is summarized, covering various kinds of nanoreactors, including porous inorganic materials, porous crystalline materials with organic components and self-assembled polymers to construct nanoreactors. These design principles underscore how precise reaction control could be achieved by adjusting the structure and composition of the nanoreactors to create spatial confined. Furthermore, various applications of spatially confined nanoreactors are demonstrated in the biological fields, such as biocatalysis, molecular detection, drug delivery, and cancer therapy. These applications showcase the potential prospects of spatially confined nanoreactors, offering robust guidance for future research and innovation.

    Abstract Nanotechnology has brought revolutionized advances in disease diagnosis and therapy. Self-assembled peptide dendrimers own novel physicochemical properties through the synergistic effects of the polypeptide chain, dendrimer and nano-structure, exhibiting great potential in theranostic. This review provides comprehensive insights into various peptide dendrimers for self-assembly. Their nanosize, morphology and composition are presented to understand self-assembly behaviors precisely. We further introduce the emerging theranostic applications based on specific imaging and efficient delivery recently.

    Abstract Herein, we designed alkylated lysine-dendron oxytocin amphiphiles (ALOAs) 1G-OTK and 2G-OTK, which were self-assembled into spherical nanoparticles and nanostrips, respectively, and showed superior stability compared to native oxytocin. We found similar trends in the functional activity of ALOAs and native OT for human oxytocin receptor. This work may inspire the development of peptide drugs for clinical applications.

    Abstract The combination of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and chemotherapy has shown significant potential in the clinical treatment of various cancers. However, circulating regeneration of PD-L1 within tumor cells greatly limits the efficiency of chemo-immunotherapy and consequent patient response rates. Herein, we report the synthesis of a nanoparticle-based PD-L1 inhibitor (FRS) with a rational design for effective endogenous PD-L1 suppression. The nanoinhibitor is achieved through self-assembly of fluoroalkylated competitive peptides that target PD-L1 palmitoylation. The FRS nanoparticles provide efficient protection and delivery of functional peptides to the cytoplasm of tumors, showing greater inhibition of PD-L1 than nonfluorinated peptidic inhibitors. Moreover, we demonstrate that FRS synergizes with chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (DOX) to boost the antitumor activities via simultaneous reduction of PD-L1 abundance and induction of immunogenic cell death in murine colon tumor models. The nano strategy of PD-L1 regulation present in this study is expected to advance the development of ICB inhibitors and overcome the limitations of conventional ICB-assisted chemo-immunotherapy.

    Abstract Peptide profiling based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is of particular interest as it can provide physiologically and pathologically related information of the bio-samples. Due to the complexity of real biological samples, MALDI-TOF MS-based peptide mapping methods rely strongly on particular enrichment methods to improve the signal intensity.

    Abstract Peptide profiling based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is of particular interest as it can provide physiologically and pathologically related information of the bio-samples. Due to the complexity of real biological samples, MALDI-TOF MS-based peptide mapping methods rely strongly on particular enrichment methods to improve the signal intensity. This paper introduces third-generation dendrimer-modified SBA-15 with the surface functionalization of amino and carboxyl group, respectively (denoted as SBA-15/G3-NH₂ and SBA-15/G3-COOH), for the efficient capture of low-abundance peptides. The enrichment ability of the nanocomposites was evaluated by standard peptides digests and real biological samples. The synthesized nanocomposites incorporated the benefit of dendrimers and mesoporous silica nanomaterial SBA-15, showing enhanced peptide enrichment ability. Therefore, this work may provide a new class of nanomaterials for peptide mapping from biological samples.
