The pore dimension and surface property directly dictate the transport of guests, endowing diverse gas selective adsorptions to porous materials. It is highly relevant to construct metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) with designable functional groups that can achieve feasible pore regulation to improve their separation performances. However, the role of functionalization in different positions or degrees...
Advanced prostate cancer, harboring multiple mutations of tumor suppressor genes, is refractory to conventional therapies. Knockout of the Skp2 gene blocks pRb/p53 doubly deficient prostate cancer in mice, which inspired the authors to develop an approach for delivering siRNA that would efficiently silence Skp2 (siSkp2) in vivo. Here, a facile strategy is reported to directly assemble siSkp2 with...
Terahertz (THz) biological imaging has attracted intense attention due to its capability of acquiring physicochemical information in a label‐free, noninvasive, and nonionizing manner. However, extending THz imaging to the single‐molecule level remains a challenge, partly due to the weak THz reflectivity of biomolecules with low dielectric constants. Here, the development of graphene‐mediated THz scattering‐type...
In article number 2005814, Jiang Li, Huabin Wang, and co‐workers demonstrate the imaging of single protein molecules with a scattering‐type terahertz (THz) scanning near‐field optical microscope, taking advantage of a graphene substrate with high THz reflectivity and atomic smoothness, and a long platinum probe with high scattering ability. This strategy opens new routes to imaging single biomolecules...
Photoimmunotherapy (PIT) has shown enormous potential in not only eliminating primary tumors, but also inhibiting abscopal tumor growth. However, the efficacy of PIT is greatly limited by tumor hypoxia, which causes the attenuation of phototherapeutic efficacy and is a feature of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). In this study, one type of brand‐new artificial metalloprotein nanoanalogues...
In article number 2004345, Bang‐Ping Jiang, Xing‐Can Shen, and co‐workers develop one type of brand‐new artificial metalloprotein nanoanalogues for enhanced photoimmunotherapy via reasonably integrating “phototherapy‐enzymatic” RuO2 and model antigen ovalbumin. This ushers a prospect of concurrently enhancing photodynamic therapy and reversing the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by in situ...
Codelivery of diagnostic probes and therapeutic molecules often suffers from intrinsic complexity and premature leakage from or degradation of the nanocarrier. Inspired by the “Y” shape of indocyanine green (ICG), the dye is integrated in an amphiphilic lipopeptide (RNF). The hydrophilic segment is composed of arginine‐rich dendritic peptides, while cyanine dyes are modified with two long carbon chains...
Malignant melanoma is a highly aggressive tumor resistant to chemotherapy. Therefore, the development of new highly effective therapeutic agents for the treatment of malignant melanoma is highly desirable. In this study, a new class of polymeric photothermal agents based on poly(N‐phenylglycine) (PNPG) suitable for use in near‐infrared (NIR) phototherapy of malignant melanoma is designed and developed...
