Potent Covalent Organic Framework Nanophotosensitizers for Photodynamic Immunotherapy

Potent Covalent Organic Framework Nanophotosensitizers for Photodynamic Immunotherapy

iNature The photodynamic therapy (PDT) using oxygen-dependent type II photosensitizers is often limited by the hypoxic microenvironment of solid tumors. Type I photosensitizers generate oxygen-independent reactive oxygen species (ROS) under light irradiation, but they suffer from aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) and low ROS generation efficiency. On December 19, 2024, the team led by Ge Zhishen from … Read more

Single-Dose Physically Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid and Lipid Hybrid Nanoparticles Activate Antitumor Immune Response

Single-Dose Physically Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid and Lipid Hybrid Nanoparticles Activate Antitumor Immune Response

iNature Activating the STING pathway in the cytosol of tumor-infiltrating antigen-presenting cells (APCs) can trigger an effective antitumor immune response for cancer treatment. However, most STING agonists are hydrophilic small molecules that face rapid clearance and poor cytosolic delivery issues after systemic administration. Although various nanoparticles have been developed to facilitate cytosolic delivery, they often … Read more

Platinum(IV)-Backboned Polymer Prodrug-Functionalized Manganese Oxide Nanoparticles for Enhanced Lung Cancer Chemoimmunotherapy

iNature The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway shows great potential in reshaping the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and initiating anti-tumor immunity. However, effectively activating STING while avoiding toxic side effects from systemic administration remains challenging. On January 7, 2025, a communication from Li Weimin’s team at Sichuan University was published online in ACS Nano titled … Read more

Negligible Voltage Hysteresis With Strong Anionic Redox in Conventional Battery Electrode

Negligible Voltage Hysteresis With Strong Anionic Redox in Conventional Battery Electrode

[Research Background] In traditional metal oxide cathode materials during charge and discharge processes, the insertion/extraction of alkali metal (lithium, sodium, potassium, etc.) ions requires charge compensation provided by transition metals, meaning that oxidation-reduction reactions occur as electrons are gained and lost. The number of electrons that can be transferred is one of the main limiting … Read more

Piezoelectric Vibration Sensor for Aircraft Engine Health Management

Piezoelectric Vibration Sensor for Aircraft Engine Health Management

01 Overview Disadvantages of Existing Technology: The gear in the aircraft engine, as a key component for power transmission, can lead to fuel line issues and power interruptions if it fails, posing a serious risk to flight safety. Therefore, condition monitoring is particularly important. Current gear fault detection methods rely on vibration sensors, but aircraft … Read more

Monitoring Pyroptosis in B16 Cells Using Holographic 3D Imaging

Monitoring Pyroptosis in B16 Cells Using Holographic 3D Imaging

Programmed cell death (PCD) plays a crucial role in triggering tumor cell death in the forefront of biomedical research. However, due to various drug resistance mechanisms in cancer, malignant tumor cells often develop resistance to commonly used apoptosis-inducing anticancer drugs. Considering that mitochondria are the sources of aerobic respiration and reactive oxygen species (ROS), we … Read more
