A narrow bandgap Schottky heterojunction Fe2N/CeO2 microneedle triggering sonodynamic reactive oxygen species storm for drug‐resistance‐free skin fungal infection

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Inorganic sonosensitizers suffer from inefficient electron‐hole separation, rapid recombination, and wide bandgaps in anti‐fungal applications. We propose MN@Fe2N/CeO2 to directly eliminate fungi without drug resistance. Combining semiconductor CeO2's advantages with Fe2N's high work function and activity enables efficient Schottky heterojunctions ...

Formation of Calcium-Deficient Hydroxyapatite via Hydrolysis of Nano-Sized Pure α-Tricalcium Phosphate

Nano-sized pure α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) fabricated by a novel synthesis approach shows great potential for a faster transformation into calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) than conventionally prepared α-TCP.

Quercetin‐zinc coordination polymer coated CaCO3 nanoparticles potentiate radiotherapy through reprogramming tumor immunosuppression

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Synthesis of QZCaCO3‐PEG to synergistically enhance the immunogenicity of radiotherapy through concurrent Zn2+‐induced cancer cell pyroptosis and Que‐mediated hypoxia amelioration through sequentially suppressing TGF‐β secretion and ECM deposition. Abstract Radiotherapy has demonstrated broad applications in treating solid tumors, but the hostile tumor

Electron compensation‐gated nanomotor for immunomodulation and microenvironment remodeling in bacterial pneumonia therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A nanomotor featuring an “electronic lock” via electron compensation in an Au‐Ag alloy ensures therapeutic precision. Near‐infrared light acts as a key, unlocking on‐demand Ag+ release for synergistic bactericidal action and microenvironment remodeling to potently treat bacterial pneumonia. Abstract Bacterial pneumonia treatment is severely hampered by
