Light‐Powered Directional Nanofluidic Ion Transport in Kirigami‐Made Asymmetric Photonic‐Ionic Devices

Nacre‐mimetic 2D nanofluidic materials with densely packed sub‐nanometer‐height lamellar channels find widespread applications in water‐, energy‐, and environment‐related aspects by virtue of their scalable fabrication methods and exceptional transport properties. Recently, light‐powered nanofluidic ion transport in synthetic materials gained considerable attention for its remote, noninvasive, and active control of the membrane transport property using the energy of light. Toward practical application, a critical challenge is to overcome the dependence on inhomogeneous or site‐specific light illumination. Here, asymmetric photonic‐ionic devices based on kirigami‐tailored graphene oxide paper are fabricated, and directional nanofluidic ion transport properties therein powered by full‐area light illumination are demonstrated. The in‐plane asymmetry of the graphene oxide paper is essential to the generation of photoelectric driving force under homogeneous illumination. This light‐powered ion transport phenomenon is explained based on a modified carrier diffusion model. In asymmetric nanofluidic structures, enhanced recombination of photoexcited charge carriers at the membrane boundary breaks the electric potential balance in the horizontal direction, and thus drives the ion transport in that direction under symmetric illumination. The kirigami‐based strategy provides a facile and scalable way to fabricate paper‐like photonic‐ionic devices with arbitrary shapes, working as fundamental elements for large‐scale light‐harvesting nanofluidic circuits.

Photosensitive Nanoparticles Combining Vascular‐Independent Intratumor Distribution and On‐Demand Oxygen‐Depot Delivery for Enhanced Cancer Photodynamic Therapy

In drug delivery, the poor tumor perfusion results in disappointing therapeutic efficacy. Nanomedicines for photodynamic therapy (PDT) greatly need deep tumor penetration due to short lifespan and weak diffusion of the cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). The damage of only shallow cells can easily cause invasiveness and metastasis. Moreover, even if the nanomedicines enter into deeper lesion, the effectiveness of PDT is limited due to the hypoxic microenvironment. Here, a deep penetrating and oxygen self‐sufficient PDT nanoparticle is developed for balanced ROS distribution within tumor and efficient cancer therapy. The designed nanoparticles (CNPs/IP) are doubly emulsified (W/O/W) from poly(ethylene glycol)‐poly(ε‐caprolactone) copolymers doped with photosensitizer IR780 in the O layer and oxygen depot perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) inside the core, and functionalized with the tumor penetrating peptide Cys‐Arg‐Gly‐Asp‐Lys (CRGDK). The CRGDK modification significantly improves penetration depth of CNPs/IP and makes the CNPs/IP arrive at both the periphery and hypoxic interior of tumors where the PFOB releases oxygen, effectively alleviating hypoxia and guaranteeing efficient PDT performance. The improved intratumoral distribution of photosensitizer and adequate oxygen supply augment the sensitivity of tumor cells to PDT and significantly improve PDT efficiency. Such a nanosystem provides a potential platform for improved therapeutic index in anticancer therapy.

Proteolytically Degradable Photo‐Polymerized Hydrogels Made From PEG–Fibrinogen Adducts

We develop a biomaterial based on protein–polymer conjugates where poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymer chains are covalently linked to multiple thiols on denatured fibrinogen. We hypothesize that conjugation of large diacrylate‐functionalized linear PEG chains to fibrinogen could govern the molecular architecture of the polymer network via a unique protein–polymer interaction. The hypothesis is explored using carefully designed shear rheometry and swelling experiments of the hydrogels and their precursor PEG/fibrinogen conjugate solutions. The physical properties of non‐cross‐linked and UV cross‐linked PEGylated fibrinogen having PEG molecular weights ranging from 10 to 20 kDa are specifically investigated. Attaching multiple hydrophilic, functionalized PEG chains to the denatured fibrinogen solubilizes the denatured protein and enables a rapid free‐radical polymerization cross‐linking reaction in the hydrogel precursor solution. As expected, the conjugated protein‐polymer macromolecular complexes act to mediate the interactions between radicals and unsaturated bonds during the free‐radical polymerization reaction, when compared to control PEG hydrogels. Accordingly, the cross‐linking kinetics and stiffness of the cross‐linked hydrogel are highly influenced by the protein–polymer conjugate architecture and molecular entanglements arising from hydrophobic/hydrophilic interactions and steric hindrances. The proteolytic degradation products of the protein–polymer conjugates proves to be were different from those of the non‐conjugated denatured protein degradation products, indicating that steric hindrances may alter the proteolytic susceptibility of the PEG–protein adduct. A more complete understanding of the molecular complexities associated with this type of protein‐polymer conjugation can help to identify the full potential of a biomaterial that combines the advantages of synthetic polymers and bioactive proteins.
