Nanoinjection Platform for Drug Delivery in Breast Cancer Therapeutics

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A schematic shows Nanoarchaeosomes loaded with doxorubicin (NAD) delivered via silicon nanotubes (SiNTs) into MCF‐7 cells, triggering apoptosis and necrosis. Released doxorubicin generates ROS, disrupts mitochondria, and intercalates DNA. This dual‐action nanoinjection enhances cytotoxicity and improves breast cancer therapy efficacy.

Comparative Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Arolium and Euplantulae in Medauroidea extradentata (Phasmatodea), Using In Vivo Atomic Force Microscopy, Supports Functional Specialization of both Types of Attachment Pads

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Stick insects use two different types of smooth attachment pads for locomotion, the pretarsal arolium for adhesion and tarsal euplantulae for friction. With atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements on these pads on living and conscious insects, this work demonstrates that each pad exhibits distinct material properties aligned with its function.
