An Integrated DNA Nanoprobe for Intranuclear Imaging and in Situ Profiling of OGG1 Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The TP‐SA nanoprobe, integrating an AS1411 aptamer for nuclear delivery and a FRET array for signal amplification, enables real‐time tracking of nuclear OGG1 activity. It reveals cell‐line‐specific basal OGG1 levels and shows clinical promise using pneumonia patients’ lavage fluid.

Aptamers as biosensors

, 2010
Aptamers are short, single strands of artificial nucleic acids which bind to specific targets. This binding is similar to the binding exhibited by antibodies but aptamers offer improved properties and consequently are replacing antibodies in some ...

Synergistic Remodeling of Tumor Immune Microenvironment via a DNA Nanodevice Integrating STING Activation and Lysosome‐Targeted PD‐L1 Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A rational design DNA nanoplatform not only achieves efficient PD‐L1 degradation but also triggers robust STING signaling. The nanodevice effectively reprograms “cold” tumors, leading to potent inhibition of tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. ABSTRACT The cGAS‐STING pathway is a cornerstone of innate antitumor immunity; however, its therapeutic ...

Long‐Term Ambient Benzene Exposure and Brain Disorders Among Urban Adults: Effect Modification by Genetic Susceptibility and Potential Mediation by Plasma Proteins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Low‐level ambient benzene exposure is associated with increased risks of multiple brain disorders in urban adults. Genetic susceptibility modifies these associations, while plasma proteomics points to potential biological pathways linking benzene exposure to adverse brain health.

Membrane Fusion‐Mediated Cytosolic Delivery of Threose Nucleic Acids via Homotypic Nanoparticles Overcomes Drug Resistance in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a biomimetic “nanofusion” platform that integrates the biostability of threose nucleic acids (TNA) with homotypic cell‐membrane cloaking to combat drug‐resistant TNBC. By leveraging a non‐canonical membrane‐fusion pathway for direct cytosolic delivery, the platform bypasses endosomal sequestration. To achieve potent AKT2 silencing

Targeting PCSK9 as a key player in lipid metabolism: exploiting the therapeutic and biosensing potential of aptamers

Lipids in Health and Disease
The degradation of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) is induced by proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), resulting in elevated plasma concentrations of LDL cholesterol.

A Biomimetic Dual‐Targeting Nano‐APA‐Editor Reprograms the 3'UTR Landscape for Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils a pathogenic axis in oral cancer where NUDT21 suppresses a tumor suppressor network, prominently PTEN, via 3'UTR lengthening. To exploit this transcriptomic vulnerability, we developed a biomimetic Nano‐APA‐editor. By delivering CRISPR/Cas9, we reprogrammed the global 3'UTR landscape, restoring multi‐target tumor suppression and ...

Nanomaterials for Allergy Diagnosis and Treatment: Advances, Opportunities and Translational Challenges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials offer dual applications in allergy management. For diagnosis, nanomaterials enhance analytical sensitivity and improve detection in specific IgE and functional assays such as the basophil activation test (BAT). For allergen‐specific immunotherapy, nanomaterials enable allergen masking and controlled release, and effectively modulate the ...
