Oxygen Vacancy Piezoelectric Nanosheets for Ultrasound Tumor Therapy

Oxygen Vacancy Piezoelectric Nanosheets for Ultrasound Tumor Therapy

Piezoelectric Dynamic Therapy (PzDT) is a tumor treatment method that utilizes mechanical energy to trigger the polarization of piezoelectric materials. Under the action of ultrasound (US), the immense pressure generated by the collapse of cavitation bubbles serves as a mechanical force source for the piezoelectric sonosensitizer, showing feasible potential. An internal electric field can form … Read more

Gram-Scale Synthesis of High Water Soluble Tantalum Nanodots for Computed Tomography Imaging

Gram-Scale Synthesis of High Water Soluble Tantalum Nanodots for Computed Tomography Imaging

Tantalum (Ta), with a high X-ray attenuation coefficient and good biocompatibility, is an important element for constructing computed tomography (CT) imaging probes. However, how to construct Ta-based imaging probes that can be cleared by the kidneys through a simple method remains a significant challenge. In light of this, Professor Sun Shaokai from Tianjin Medical University … Read more
