Advanced Science, EarlyView.The self‐trapped excitons in carbon quantum dots can serve as NIR‐II absorbers, which efficiently induce pyroptosis by driving the generation of reactive oxygen species through mild NIR‐II photothermal effect. Combined with local photophysical therapy and the cascade reaction of pyroptosis, it can activate systemic immunity and prevent tumor recurrence.

RNAi Regulator C3PO Promotes Arbovirus Infection in Insect Vectors
Advanced Science, EarlyView.RNA interference (RNAi) is vital for eukaryotes to defend against virus infection. The C3PO complex takes part in RNAi but its role in regulating viral infection remains unclear. This work finds that insect C3PO facilitates arbovirus replication by degrading precursors of miRNAs, especially miR‐971‐3p.
