The quest for sustainable energy solutions has intensified the search for alternative feedstocks that can supplement or replace fossil fuels. Obtaining fuels or chemicals through the conversion of renewable biomass is a promising candidate [1,2]. Some noblemetal-based (e.g., Pt, Pd and Rh) catalysts exhibit significant catalytic activity to the conversion reaction of these biomass.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, and adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) followingtumor removal is one of the most commonly used treatments for breast cancer. However, the high risk of tumorrecurrence and inevitable radiation skin injury after RT remain fatal problems, seriously challenging the patient’spostoperative rehabilitation. Herein, a multifunctional poly (lipoic acid)-based hydrogel is constructed throughone-step heating the mixture of α-lipoic acid (LA)/arginine (Arg)/silk fibroin (SF), without introducing any nonnaturalmolecules. The multiple synergistic interactions among LA, Arg, and SF not only enhance the solubilizationof LA in aqueous systems but also stabilize poly(lipoic acid) through strong salt bridge hydrogen bondsand ionic hydrogen bonds. Intriguingly, the LA-based surfactant induced β-sheet transformation of SF can furthermodulate the bulk strength of the hydrogel. Regulating the content of LA in hydrogels not only allows efficientcontrol of hydrogel bioactivity but also enables the evolution of hydrogels from injectable forms to adhesivepatches. Based on the different biological activities and forms of hydrogels, they can be implanted internally orapplied externally on the mice’s skin, achieving simultaneous prevention of tumor recurrence post-surgery andassistance in treating radiation-induced skin damage after radiotherapy.

Excipients are important components of pharmaceutical preparations that affect their quality, safety, and efficacy. Macrocyclic receptors are a family of supramolecular excipients with several advantages, including molecular-level protection, small sizes,fast kinetics of host-guest recognition, and modular construction. With the continuous advances in the medical field, personalized and precision medicine requires the development of excipients with low dosages, integrated modifying effects, universality,and controlled release. To meet these requirements, we have developed a new family of macrocyclic excipients based on calixarenes by integrating their covalent(broad chemical design space) and noncovalent(wide range of substrates) ***, azocalixarenes(Azo CAs) were designed, showing high binding affinities to a broad spectrum of active pharmaceutical ingredients(APIs), selectivity to interferents, and responsiveness to hypoxic microenvironments. Due to their highly efficient and controllable recognition, Azo CAs serve as low-dose excipients for 30 APIs. Molecular encapsulation by Azo CAs results in the integrated modification of the physicochemical properties of APIs, including solubility, stability, bioavailability,and biocompatibility. Moreover, Azo CAs can be reduced by azoreductases overexpressed in hypoxic microenvironments,leading to the controlled release of APIs. Collectively, Azo CA excipients have broad application prospects for a series of diseases such as enteritis, arthritis, stroke, cancer, bacterial infection and kidney injury, with diverse therapeutic modalities,including chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, immunotherapy, boron neutron capture therapy, radiotherapy, fluorescence imaging, and their combinations.
