Bioinspired two‐dimensional (2D) nanofluidic systems for photo‐induced ion transport have attracted great attention, as they open a new pathway to enabling light‐to‐ionic energy conversion. However, there is still a great challenge in achieving a satisfactory performance. It is noticed that organic solar cells (OSCs, light‐harvesting device based on photovoltaic effect) commonly require hole/electron...
Drug‐coated balloons (DCB) intervention is an important approach for the treatment of atherosclerosis (AS). However, this therapeutic approach has the drawbacks of poor drug retention and penetration at the lesion site. Here, a lipophilic drug‐loaded nanomotor as a modified balloon coating for the treatment of AS is reported. First, a lipophilic nanomotor PMA‐TPP/PTX loaded with drug PTX and lipophilic...
Asherman's syndrome (AS) occurs as a consequence of severe damage to the endometrial basalis, usually leading to menstrual abnormalities, infertility, and recurrent miscarriage in women. Currently, human endometrium‐derived adventitial cells (En‐ADVs) are considered ideal seed cells with high pluripotency for regenerative medicine. However, critical issues such as noninvasive repair of tissues, targeting...
Photothermal therapy (PTT) as a noninvasive hyperthermia exhibits high potential for anti‐cancer treatments. The explosion of efficient photothermal agents (PTAs) keeps developing rapidly. MXene stands out due to its intriguing structures, fantastic photodynamic properties, and good biocompatibility. However, the potential of MXenes has not been sufficiently explored in PTT. Its versatile chemical...
Most of the current non‐pharmacological treatment strategies for atherosclerosis (AS) suffer from poor penetration into the plaque and only aim at a certain factor in its formation process, resulting in limited therapeutic effect. Herein, a kind of nanomotor with dual‐mode propulsion is constructed, which is sensitive to higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the AS site and near‐infrared (NIR) laser...
Overproduced hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is of vital importance for the progress of colon cancer and promotes cancer cellular proliferation. Devising pharmacological nanomaterials for tumor‐specific H2S activation will be significant for precise colon cancer treatment. Herein, a biocompatible fusiform iron oxide‐hydroxide nanospindles (FeOOH NSs) nanosystem for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ferroptosis,...
In article number 2000819, Min Zhou and co‐workers present Spirulina platensis–based natural carriers to construct a DOX‐loaded system for targeted delivery and fluorescence imaging‐guided chemotherapy on lung metastasis of breast cancer. The carriers enable the as prepared biosystem to passively target the lungs, and result in a significantly enhanced therapeutic efficacy on lung metastasis of 4T1...
High delivery efficiency, prolonged drug release, and low systemic toxicity are effective weapons for drug delivery systems to win the battle against metastatic breast cancer. Herein, it is shown that Spirulina platensis (S. platensis) can be used as natural carriers to construct a drug‐loaded system for targeted delivery and fluorescence imaging‐guided chemotherapy on lung metastasis of breast cancer...
The unique feature of nacre‐like 2D layered materials provides a facile, yet highly efficient way to modulate the transmembrane ion transport from two orthogonal transport directions, either vertical or horizontal. Recently, light‐driven active transport of ionic species in synthetic nanofluidic systems attracts broad research interest. Herein, taking advantage of the photoelectric semiconducting...
Owing to its abundance, high gravimetric energy density, and environmental friendliness, hydrogen is a promising renewable energy to replace fossil fuels. One of the most prominent routes toward hydrogen acquisition is water splitting, which is currently bottlenecked by the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Numerous of electrocatalysts have been developed in the past decades to...
On page 5538, Y. Lei and co‐workers present photoelectrochemical applications of well‐ordered CdTe/TiO2 heteronanostructure arrays prepared by template‐directed approaches, demonstrating that modulating the diameter of CdTe/TiO2 heteronanostructure arrays improves the solar energy conversion efficiency. Compared to photoanodes with only TiO2 nanotube arrays, the CdTe/TiO2 heteronanostructure electrodes...
Well‐ordered CdTe/TiO2 heteronanostructure arrays are fabricated via a convenient anodic aluminum oxide template‐directed approach and applied to photoelectrochemistry and solar energy devices. Both the CdTe and TiO2 present a decent crystalline quality. In comparison to the photoanode with only TiO2 nanotube array, the CdTe/TiO2 heteronanostructure electrodes possess a dramatic performance improvement...
