Atomically Fe-anchored MOF-on-MOF nanozyme with differential signal amplification for ultrasensitive cathodic electrochemiluminescence immunoassay

Article, Research Article / By

An ultrasensitive cathodic electrochemiluminescence immunoassay was developed by designing atomically Fe-anchored MOF-on-MOF nanozymes (CoNi-MOF@PCN-224/Fe) as ECL electrode materials and plasmonic Ag/AuNCs as high-efficient co-reactant quenchers. The proposed differential signal amplification strategy endowed the immunoassay with superior detection ability, which provide more possibilities for the ultrasensitive detection of disease markers in clinical diagnosis. Abstract: The successful …

Dynamic regulation of drug biodistribution by turning tumors into decoys for biomimetic nanoplatform to enhance the chemotherapeutic efficacy of breast cancer with bone metastasis

Article, Research Article / By

The schematic diagram of EMM@DJHAD NPs destroys tumor cells via the synergism of DAC and JTC. The former enriches the level of gasdermin E in tumor by demethylation of the DFNA5 gene and the latter activates the caspase-3 pathway, triggering pyroptosis of tumor cells. Importantly, JTC-mediated µ-opioid receptor (MOR) inhibition is responsible for both tumor suppression and …
