Description
Jing Li and co-authors engineered self-propelled nanomotors as eye drops for dry eye disease, a common condition tied to runaway oxidation and faltering mitochondria in surface cells. Their particle pairs a hollow Prussian blue core, loaded with a hydrogen-storing compound and wrapped in a fatty shell, in a design where each part has a job.
On the diseased eye surface the core splits hydrogen peroxide into oxygen bubbles, and the bubbles push the particles through the tear film that normally washes drops away. Inside cells, the cargo releases hydrogen in the acidic interior, and together the components quench damaging oxygen radicals, calm inflammation, and reduce cell death. Treated eyes secreted more tears, held a steadier tear film, and repaired the corneal surface. The authors frame the system as a delivery platform that moves itself to where it is needed.
