Cartilage‐Penetrating Framework Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles Ameliorate Osteoarthritis by Promoting Drug Delivery and Chondrocyte Uptake

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on the poor cartilage penetration of tFNA, a novel tFNA‐2WL with excellent cartilage permeability and perfect chondrocyte endocytosis properties is designed and fabricated. As a result, tFNA‐2WL has a nearly seven‐fold increase in the penetration depth into the cartilage, with the same excellent cell entry properties as tFNA.

Magnetite Micro/Nanorobots for Efficient Targeted Alleviation of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Improved reactive oxygen species scavenging capacities of functionalized micro/nanorobots (MNRs) are useful for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). MNRs can break the harmful bacteria in IBD, thereby eliminating inflammation and restoring the intestinal barrier function.
