Harnessing ferroptosis from multilayer defense networks to nanoplatforms for specific cancer therapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials target metabolically‐regulated ferroptosis for cancer therapy. Iron‐based or alternative nanoplatforms integrate ferroptosis with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. They enable stimulus‐responsive therapies (photothermal, photodynamic, sonodynamic) activated by near‐infrared, light, or ultrasound, achieving potent synergistic ...

Ionizing radiation changes the electronic properties of melanin and enhances the growth of melanized fungi.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
BackgroundMelanin pigments are ubiquitous in nature. Melanized microorganisms are often the dominating species in certain extreme environments, such as soils contaminated with radionuclides, suggesting that the presence of melanin is beneficial in their ...

Controllable engineered probiotic microspheres for treating ulcerative colitis: A cascade enzyme‐catalyzed strategy to restore intestinal redox homeostasis

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
A dual strategy integrating genetic engineering and physical encapsulation was proposed to enhance the cell viability and antioxidant properties of probiotics. The cascade antioxidant enzymes released from probiotic microspheres restore intestinal redox homeostasis by eliminating intestinal reactive oxygen species for ulcerative colitis treatment ...

Localization of melanin in conidia of Alternaria alternata using phage display antibodies

open access: yes, 2002
Melanins derived from 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) are important for the pathogenicity and survival of fungi causing disease in both plants and animals. However, precise information on their location within fungal cell walls is lacking.

Electron compensation‐gated nanomotor for immunomodulation and microenvironment remodeling in bacterial pneumonia therapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
A nanomotor featuring an “electronic lock” via electron compensation in an Au‐Ag alloy ensures therapeutic precision. Near‐infrared light acts as a key, unlocking on‐demand Ag+ release for synergistic bactericidal action and microenvironment remodeling to potently treat bacterial pneumonia. Abstract Bacterial pneumonia treatment is severely hampered by

Innovation of plant‐derived extracellular vesicles and interdisciplinary research: From discovery to biomedical applications

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived extracellular vesicles offer numerous advantages and are regarded as highly promising candidates in the field of biomedicine. Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are double‐membrane vesicular structures that can be secreted by nearly all living cells.

Nanoagonist‐mediated spatiotemporal reprogramming of macrophage phenotypes to potentiate tumor immunotherapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes the major molecular mechanisms governing TAM polarization and their coordinated interactions. It further highlights recent advances in nanoagonist‐based strategies that intervene in these pathways to reprogram TAMs, critically discussing their therapeutic potential, current limitations, and translational prospects.

Applications of Biomaterials in Separators for Secondary Batteries

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
In this review, biomaterial‐based separators are reviewed as sustainable alternatives to conventional polyolefin‐based separators. For 12 different natural polymers, spanning from Protista, Plantae, and Animalia, viable strategies for synthesizing biomass‐based separators are described.
