We developed temozolomide and epigenetic bromodomain inhibitor co-encapsulated biomimetic nanomedicine (ABNM@TMZ/OTX) achieved multidimensional enhanced glioblastoma synergistic chemoimmunotherapy in both primary and recurrent orthotopic mice models with significant extended survival rate and little side effects. Abstract: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a central nervous system tumor with poor prognosis due to the rapid development of resistance to mono …

Non-Hermitian physical principles are introduced into the design of on-chip photonic devices toward high robustness. As a proof-of-concept, an exclusive-or gate on silicon-on-insulator platform is designed by employing the exceptional point encirclement physics. The device performance is extremely robust to structural parameter disturbances, owing to the protection of the photon phase by the topological structure around …

A new type of targeted chemogene is constructed through site-specific grafting camptothecins onto a phosphor othioate DNA containing antisense and aptamer segments. With simple and precise structure, the targeted chemogene shows hallmark properties in both in vitro and in vivo evaluations, including active targeting capability, vigorous gene regulation pitency, and prominent antiumor effect, providing new …

Currently, it is widely accepted that adsorption-energy scaling relations exist or not depending on the similarity of the adsorbates. Here, we show that CO and OH scale linearly or not on Pt alloys depending on the coordination of the adsorption sites. Hence, ligand and geometric effects can be used to modulate scaling relations, thereby opening …

Inspired by the extraordinarily resilient and strong binding force of the Great Wall binder, that is, the sticky rice mortar, we extracted highly branched amylopectin, the effective ingredient, as a low-cost, nontoxic, and environmentally benign aqueous binder for high performance and long life sulfur cathode. Abstract: The sulfur cathode of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries suffers from …

This work provides mechanistic insights into toehold-mediated strand displacement process at the single-nucleotide level through molecular dynamics simulation. Mismatches at the border of the toehold and branch migration domain yield the lowest reaction rate. Based on the simulation results, single nucleotide variants of disease-related genes were detected with high specificity. Abstract: Single nucleotide variant (SNV) …

NiCoO nanosheet array (NSA) was converted into hierarchical nanoarrays (ac-NiCoO NSA) through a unique electrochemical activation method. The hierarchical nanostructure, rich oxygen vacancies, antisite defects, and high surface area of ac-NiCoO NSA led to significant electrochemical performance enhancement for supercapacitors. Abstract: Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are promising materials for supercapacitors (SCs) because of their high …

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. …

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. …
