Remote Activation of Wnt Signaling and Cell Proliferation by E‐Cadherin Magnetomechanical Stimulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A pioneering magnetogenetic toolkit enables non‐invasive, precise spatiotemporal modulation of intracellular Wnt/β‐catenin signaling. Functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs@E/EC15) target cellular E‐cadherins to generate localized magnetomechanical forces under low‐intensity magnetic fields.

Protease‐Activated Theranostic Nanomedicine for Endometriosis Treatment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects a substantial proportion of reproductive‐aged women. In this study, we identify aberrant overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) in endometriotic lesions and develop a novel multifunctional nanomedicine that integrates MMP‐9‐targeted therapy, ratiometric photoacoustic (PA ...
