The cubic manganese carbonate nanoparticles (MnCO3 NPs) are prepared by a simple synthesis method for enhanced sonodynamic therapy. It is proved that the high sonodynamic performance of MnCO3 NPs is related to its band gap. …
Superplastic metal–organic framework (MOF) assembled macroscopic architecture is reported for the first time, which can fully and rapidly recover to its initial states…
Exploration is the nature of human aspiration to seek innovation through discovery. Ever since the Age of Exploration, which rooted in new technologies and ideas, the massive new discoveries have tremendously accelerated the processes of civilization and scientific development…
With the continuous development of self-powered technology, self-powered biomedical electronic devices have attracted extensive attention due to their unprecedented advantages. Abstract: Biomedical electronic devices have enormous benefits for healthcare and quality of life. Still, the long-term working of those devices remains a great challenge due to the short life and large volume of conventional batteries. …

Bundled single-walled carbon nanotubes, as artificial neurotrophins, mediate dimerization and phosphorylation of tropomyosin-related kinase B, and stimulate downstream signaling pathways for neuronal survival and differentiation. These therapeutic effects alleviate EtOH-induced neurodegeneration in a rat model. Abstract: The distinguished properties of nanomaterials promote us to explore whether their intrinsic activities would be beneficial to disease treatment. …
The therapeutic modality of “chemotherapy-augmented sequential chemoreactive therapy” based on the designed mitochondria-specific nanocatalyst composed of cisplatin prodrug and gallic acid-ferrous (GA-Fe(II)) nanocomposites achieves distinct catalytic cancer-therapeutic performance. The bioactive cisplatin elevates the endogenous H2O2 level through the cascaded reactions, and the GA-Fe(II) nanocomposites with sustainable Fenton catalytic activity subsequently catalyzes H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals …
Development of novel ionizable lipid and realization of real-time payload visualization are of great importance for siRNA delivery and clinical translation. Herein, we fabricated multifunctional ionizable iLNPs based on a newly prepared lipid for targeted delivery of siRNA and MRI contrast agent, which achieved good siRNA transportation, well imaging effect and excellent therapeutic outcome in …
A novel supramolecular dendrimeric nanosystem carrying the anticancer drug doxorubicin was developed in this study. We demonstrated this nanosystem markedly overcoming the heterogeneity of drug response and resistance of primary cultured tumor cells derived from 35 PDAC patients. This simple and convenient dendrimer nanodrug holds great promise as a potential candidate to treat the deadly …
Biological applications of nanomaterials as delivery carriers have been embedded in traditional biomedical research for decades. Despite lagging behind, recent significant breakthroughs in the use of nanocarriers as tools for plant biotechnology have created great interest.
