Tumor‐Targeted Exosome‐Based Heavy Atom‐Free Nanosensitizers With Long‐Lived Excited States for Safe and Effective Sono‐Photodynamic Therapy of Solid Tumors

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered exosome‐based heavy atom‐free nanosensitizers are developed for safe and targeted sono‐photodynamic therapy of solid tumors. The IR820‐TPE‐loaded, biotin‐conjugated exosomes (IR820‐TPE@B‐Exo) demonstrate significant promise for NIR fluorescence imaging‐guided sono‐photodynamic cancer therapy.

In the absence of ATPase activity, pre-RC formation is blocked prior to MCM2-7 hexamer dimerization [PDF]

, 2013
The origin recognition complex (ORC) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae binds origin DNA and cooperates with Cdc6 and Cdt1 to load the replicative helicase MCM2–7 onto DNA. Helicase loading involves two MCM2–7 hexamers that assemble into a double hexamer around

Designing the Self‐Assembly of Disordered Materials Via Color Frustration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
What if disorder can be designed? This work introduces a strategy to self‐assemble amorphous materials by designing bonding rules for patchy particles that suppress crystallinity and promote frustration. The designer particles nucleate a network of dodecahedral cages from the liquid, yielding a novel equilibrium amorphous phase. This approach redefines
