Modification‐Selective Inhibition of Succinate Dehydrogenase a Enables Tumor‐Restricted Mitochondrial Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work identifies acetylation‐dependent SDHA homeostasis as a determinant of tumor‐specific metabolic vulnerability. Guided by this mechanism, a modification‐selective inhibitor, ZPI‐3, selectively targets non‐acetylated SDHA, achieving tumor‐restricted SDH inhibition and effective bladder cancer control. Differential responses in clinical specimens

Rapid Photogelation of Low‐Concentration Polymer Solutions via Photodimerization of o‐Ethylnitrobenzene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon UV irradiation, flexible and tough hydrogels are formed rapidly (>0.5 s) from dilute (>0.5 wt%) solutions of o‐ethylnitrobenzene–modified PVA. At ∼1.5 wt%, the hydrogels withstand up to 10 MPa compression, remain handleable even after 200‐fold swelling.

Versatile Co‐Engineering of Immunogenic Cell Death‐Primed Dead Tumor Cell Bodies With Tumor‐Activated MnO2 for cGAS‐STING‐Potentiated Personalized Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
DTBEI@CS@MnO2, fabricated via modular electrostatic co‐engineering and photothermal/photodynamic immunogenic cell death, specifically responds to the acidic and GSH‐rich tumor microenvironment. This triggers the release of DTBEI that provides tumor antigens, DNA, and DAMPs, as well as the generation of Mn2+, thereby synergistically potentiating cGAS ...
