Environmental plastic wastes are potential health hazards due to their prevalence as well as their versatility in initiating physical, chemical, and biological interactions and transformations. Indeed, recent research has implicated the adverse effects of micro‐ and nano‐plastics, including their neurotoxicity, yet how plastic particulates may impact the aggregation pathway and toxicity of amyloid...
Bacterial therapy is an emerging hotspot in tumor immunotherapy, which can initiate antitumor immune activation through multiple mechanisms. Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), a pathogenic bacterium inhabiting the oral cavity, contains a great deal of pathogen associated molecular patterns that can activate various innate immune cells to promote antitumor immunity. Owing to the presence of protoporphyrin...
The catalytic oxidation of toxic organic pollutants in water requires enhanced efficiency for commercial applications. A ZnO nanorod array grown on a carbon fiber cloth (CFC) serves as the zinc source to ensure that the Ni/ZIF‐8/ZnO nanoreactor is constructed. The Ni/ZIF‐8/ZnO/CFC nanoreactor efficiently activates peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation owing to its high density...
Eco/Bioresorbable Electronics
In article number 2305017, John A. Rogers and co‐workers use a sewing approach for fabricating eco/bioresorbable electronics without the need for high temperatures or reactive solvents. Microscale eco/bioresorbable materials in the format of fibers and films are used for “embroidery work”, with versatile capabilities in forming eco/bioresorbable stretchable interconnects,...
Eco/bioresorbable electronics represent an emerging class of technology defined by an ability to dissolve or otherwise harmlessly disappear in environmental or biological surroundings after a period of stable operation. The resulting devices provide unique capabilities as temporary biomedical implants, environmental sensors, and related systems. Recent publications report schemes to overcome challenges...
Three linear isoelectronic conjugated polymers PCC, PBC, and PBN are synthesized by Suzuki‐Miyaura polycondensation for photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) production from water. PBN presented an excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of 223.5 µmol h−1 (AQY420 = 23.3%) under visible light irradiation, which is 7 times that of PBC and 31 times that of PCC. The enhanced photocatalytic activity...
Materials are more easily damaged during accidents that involve rapid deformation. Here, a design strategy is described for electronic materials comprised of conducting polymers that defies this orthodox property, making their extensibility and toughness dynamically adaptive to deformation rates. This counterintuitive property is achieved through a morphology of interconnected nanoscopic core–shell...
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...
Thermochromic smart windows with rational modulation in indoor temperature and brightness draw considerable interest in reducing building energy consumption, which remains a huge challenge to meet the comfortable responsive temperature and the wide transmittance modulation range from visible to near‐infrared (NIR) light for their practical application. Herein, a novel thermochromic Ni(II) organometallic...
Diabetic Wound Healing
In article number 2205489, Jinshan Guo, Keke Wu, and co‐workers develop an on‐demand removable, pH‐responsive europium‐releasable and photothermal antimicribal adhesive dressing for diabetic wound healing. The adhesive provides convenient non‐invasive wound closure, enables in‐time painless dressing change upon mixing with borax solution, and smoothly connects inflammatory microenvironment...
Current diabetic wound treatments remain unsatisfactory due to the lack of a comprehensive strategy that can integrate strong applicability (tissue adhesiveness, shape adaptability, fast self‐healability, and facile dressing change) with the initiation and smooth connection of the cascade wound healing processes. Herein, benefiting from the multifaceted bonding ability of tannic acid to metal ions...
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hybrid materials are a class of porous crystalline materials that integrate MOFs and COFs with hierarchical pore structures. As an emerging porous frame material platform, MOF/COF hybrid materials have attracted tremendous attention, and the field is advancing rapidly and extending into more diverse fields. Extensive studies have...
The band alignment, interface states, interface coupling, and carrier transport of semiconductor heterojunctions (SHs) need to be well understood for the design and fabrication of various important semiconductor structures and devices. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with high spatial resolution and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) with high energy resolution are significantly contributing...
In this study, to visually acquire all‐round structural and functional information of lung cancer while performing synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and tumor‐targeting immunotherapy, a theranostic nanoplatform that introduced upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and IR‐1048 dye into the lipid‐aptamer nanostructrure (UCILA) is constructed. Interestingly, the IR‐1048 dye grafted into the lipid bilayer...
2D MXene, Ti3C2 (TC), has displayed enormous potential in applications in photothermal therapy (PTT), attributing to its biocompatibility and outstanding photothermal conversion capability. However, some tumor ablations are difficult to be realized completely by monotherapy due to the essential defects of monotherapy and intricate tumor microenvironment (TME). In this work, the appropriate doped Fe...
Efficient cell internalization of framework nucleic acid nanostructures free of transfection agents provides new opportunities for developing biocompatible and intelligent nanoprobes and drug delivery carriers. Here, a proteomic identification method to screen target proteins that interact with tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) during the process of endocytosis by combining drug affinity responsive...
Cell therapeutics hold tremendous regenerative potential and the therapeutic effect depends on the effective delivery of cells. However, current cell delivery carriers with unsuitable cytocompatibility and topological structure demonstrate poor cell viability during injection. Therefore, porous shape‐memory cryogel microspheres (CMS) are prepared from methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) by combining an...
Dual ion batteries (DIBs) have recently attracted ever‐increasing attention owing to the potential advantages of low material cost and good environmental friendliness. However, the potential safety hazards, cost, and environmental concerns mainly resulted from the commonly used nonaqueous organic solvents severely hinder the practical application of DIBs. Herein, a hybrid aqueous/nonaqueous water‐in‐bisalt...
With regards to developing miniaturized coherent light sources, the temperature‐insensitivity in gain spectrum and threshold is highly desirable. Quantum dots (QDs) are predicted to possess a temperature‐insensitive threshold by virtue of the separated electronic states; however, it is never observed in colloidal QDs due to the poor thermal stability. Besides, for the classical II–VI QDs, the gain...
