Healing of large calvarial bone defects remains challenging. An RNA‐guided Split dCas12a system is previously harnessed to activate long non‐coding RNA H19 (lncRNA H19, referred to as H19 thereafter) in bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). H19 activation in BMSCs induces chondrogenic differentiation, switches bone healing pathways, and improves calvarial bone repair. Since adipose‐derived...
Gut microbiota function has numerous effects on humans and the diet humans consume has emerged as a pivotal determinant of gut microbiota function. Here, a new concept that gut microbiota can be trained by diet‐derived exosome‐like nanoparticles (ELNs) to release healthy outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) is introduced. Specifically, OMVs released from garlic ELN (GaELNs) trained human gut Akkermansia muciniphila...
The problem in d‐band center modulation of transition metal‐based catalysts for the rate‐determining steps of oxygen conversion is an obstacle to boost the electrocatalytic activity by accelerating proton coupling. Herein, the Co doping to FeP is adopted to modify the d‐band center of Fe. Optimized Fe sites accelerate the proton coupling of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on N‐doped wood‐derived carbon...
The precise design of low‐cost, efficient, and definite electrocatalysts is the key to sustainable renewable energy. The urea oxidation reaction (UOR) offers a promising alternative to the oxygen evolution reaction for energy‐saving hydrogen generation. In this study, by tuning the lattice expansion, a series of M‐FeNi layered double hydroxides (M‐FeNi LDHs, M: Mo, Mn, V) with excellent UOR performance...
The development of simple, cost‐effective, rapid, and quantitative diagnostic tools remains critical to monitor infectious COVID‐19 disease. Although numerous diagnostic platforms, including rapid antigen tests, are developed and used, they suffer from limited accuracy, especially when tested with asymptomatic patients. Here, a unique approach to fabricate a nanochannel‐based electrochemical biosensor...
Heterointerface engineering for different identifiable length scales has emerged as a key research area for obtaining materials capable of high‐performance electromagnetic wave absorption; however, achieving controllable architectural and compositional complexity in nanomaterials with environmental and thermal stabilities remains challenging. Herein, metal‐containing silicon carbonitride (SiCN/M)...
Two‐dimensional low‐melting‐point (LMP) metal nanocrystals are attracting increasing attention with broad and irreplaceable applications due to their unique surface and topological structures. However, the chemical synthesis, especially the fine control over the nucleation (reduction) and growth (crystallization), of such LMP metal nanocrystals remains elusive as limited by the challenges of low standard...
Although photodynamic immunotherapy has been promoted in the clinical practice of cholangiocarcinoma, the insensitivity to photodynamic immunotherapy remains to be a great problem. This can be largely attributed to an immune‐suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) manifested as immature myeloid cells and exhausted cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Here, a three‐in‐one oncolytic adenovirus system PEG‐PEI‐Adv‐Catalase‐KillerRed...
Endogenous electric field is ubiquitous in a multitude of important living activities such as bone repair, cell signal transduction, and nerve regeneration, signifying that regulating the electric field in organisms is highly beneficial to maintain organism health. As an emerging and promising research direction, piezoelectric nanomedicine and materdicine precisely activated by ultrasound with synergetic...
Nitrate is a reasonable alternative instead of nitrogen for ammonia production due to the low bond energy, large water‐solubility, and high chemical polarity for good absorption. Nitrate electroreduction reaction (NO3RR) is an effective and green strategy for both nitrate treatment and ammonia production. As an electrochemical reaction, the NO3RR requires an efficient electrocatalyst for achieving...
Precise design of low‐cost, efficient and definite electrocatalysts is the key to sustainable renewable energy. Herein, this work develops a targeted‐anchored and subsequent spontaneous‐redox strategy to synthesize nickel‐iron layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets anchored with monodispersed platinum (Pt) sites (Pt@LDH). Intermediate metal‐organic frameworks (MOF)/LDH heterostructure not only...
As the emerging modalities for tumor therapy, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), typically inducing tumor cell apoptosis. However, the construction of more efficient sonosensitizers integrated with excellent Fenton/Fenton‐like catalytic activity to improve the synergistic therapeutic effect of SDT and CDT is still highly challenging...
Metal‐oxo clusters have emerged as advanced proton conductors with well‐defined and tunable structures. Nevertheless, the exploitation of metal‐oxo clusters with high and stable proton conductivity over a relatively wide temperature range still remains a great challenge. Herein, three sulfate groups decorated zirconium‐oxo clusters (Zr6, Zr18, and Zr70) as proton conductors are reported, which exhibit...
Transition‐metal dyshomeostasis has been identified as a critical pathogenic factor for the aggregates of amyloid‐beta (Aβ) peptide, which is associated with the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Excessive transition‐metal ions, especially copper ion (Cu2+), catalyze the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), triggering neuroinflammation and neuronal cell apoptosis. Therefore,...

The soft hybrid organic–inorganic structure of two‐dimensional layered perovskites (2DLPs) enables broadband emission at room temperature from a single material, which makes 2DLPs promising sources for solid‐state white lighting, yet with low efficiency. The underlying photophysics involves self‐trapping of excitons favored by distortions of the inorganic lattice and coupling to phonons, where the...
