Tumor Microenvironment Triggered In Situ Coagulation of Supramolecularly Engineered Platelets for Precise Tumor Embolization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Occlusion of tumor blood vessels represents a promising yet challenging approach in cancer treatment. Herein, supramolecularly engineered platelets conjugated with morphology‐transformable nanoparticles is developed for precise tumor embolization. The engineered platelets actively accumulate at tumor sites following induced blood vessel injury.

Electronic Structure of Kramers Nodal‐Line Semimetal YAuGe and Anomalous Hall Effect Induced by Magnetic Rare‐Earth Substitution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The rare‐earth intermetallics YAuGe is identified as a Kramers nodal‐line semimetal, a topological state inherent to non‐centrosymmetric achiral lattices. Magnetic rare‐earth substitution induces an anomalous Hall effect, highlighting the impact of time‐reversal symmetry breaking on topological electronic states and offering insights into designing the
