Zhejiang University Professors Cheng Kui and Cai Xiujun Publish in ACS Nano: Multifunctional Double-Loaded Oral Nanoplatform for Computed Tomography Imaging-Guided Integrated Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Excessive reactive oxygen species, damage to the epithelial barrier, immune dysregulation, and imbalance of the gut microbiota are key factors leading to the onset of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and complicating its treatment. Timely diagnosis of the disease and precise delivery of therapeutic drugs to the inflamed intestinal sites is a targeted strategy that can … Read more

Self-Oxygenating & Glutathione-Depleting Microneedle Patch for Photodynamic Therapy of Tumors

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as a non-invasive treatment for tumors, has garnered widespread attention. However, the hypoxia of solid tumors, the skin phototoxicity of “always-on” photosensitizers (PSs), and the abundant supply of glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells severely hinder the clinical application of PDT. To address this issue, the team from the First Affiliated Hospital of … Read more
