The use of soundless chemical demolition agents in large scale in situ rock breaking applications in the mining industry

Journal of the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy
Soundless chemical demolition agents (SCDAs) are proving to be the future of sustainable and environmental-friendly mining. These expansive chemicals become critical when there is a need to break rock close to communities, environmentally sensitive areas, and critical structures and infrastructure. Unlike explosives, the SCDAs do not generate air-blast,

Multi‐Technique Integration Identifies O‐GlcNAc Transferase in Fibroblast‐Like Synoviocytes as a Therapeutic Target for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AI‑guided single‑cell transcriptomics identifies OGT as a key regulator enriched in rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast‑like synoviocytes (RA‐FLSs). Inflammatory stimuli activate the OGT–SAP130 axis, which modulates the H3K27ac/H3K27me3 balance and epigenetically silences BTG2, promoting aggressive transformation of RA‑FLSs.

Mitochondria‐Targeted Multimodal Nanotherapeutics Suppress Oxidized mtDNA‐Driven Inflammation at the Source

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ox‐mtDNA fragments escaping from mitochondria drive robust inflammatory responses. A targeted nanoplatform simultaneously inhibits mitochondrial FEN1‐mediated mtDNA cleavage and scavenges ROS, preventing the generation of immunogenic Ox‐mtDNA fragments. The released SeNPs further promote autophagic clearance of cytosolic mtDNA. Consequently, cGAS‐STING,

TGFBI Maintains Fibrocartilage Homeostasis by Restraining O‐GlcNAcylation to Inactivate and Destabilize ADAMTS16 in Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TGFBI deficiency elevates O‐GlcNAcylation, promoting the transcriptional activation of ADAMTS16 and OGT‐mediated post‐translational modification of ADAMTS16 at Ser1170. This leads to its stabilization and accumulation, driving chondrocyte metabolic disorders and senescent phenotypes, ultimately resulting in fibrocartilage dysfunction and TMJOA ...

Spatiotemporally Controlled Sequential Chemo‐Immunotherapy Activates Pyroptosis for Robust Anti‐Tumor Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A glutathione and ultrasound dual‐responsive cerasome achieves sequential co‐delivery of gemcitabine and BMS1166 in tumors. Chemotherapy priming followed by on‐demand PD‐L1 blockade synergistically amplifies anti‐tumor immunity, inhibiting primary tumor growth, distant metastasis and inducing durable immune memory.

Permanent Oxidative Dipole Engineering in Quinoline COFs for Boosting Exciton Dissociation and Oxygen Activation in H2O2 Photosynthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Permanent oxidative dipole (POD) engineering overcomes the electronic uniformity of quinoline‐linked COFs. By enhancing the dipole moment to 2.08 D and lowering exciton binding energy to 20.3 meV, it constructs a robust built‐in electric field and spatially decoupled redox centers. This bypasses inherent kinetic bottlenecks, achieving a 4569 µmol g−1 h−

Magnetically Guided Macrophage Immunobots Coordinate Iron‐Metabolic Cascades and Immunogenic Ferroptosis for Tumor Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnetically guided macrophage immunobots integrate active tumor targeting with immunometabolic therapy. After systemic administration, magnetic actuation enhances immunobot retention and tumor penetration, while LPS‐functionalized FePt microrollers sustain M1‐like polarization through inflammatory and iron‐amplified oxidative signaling and trigger ...

Magneto‐Sono‐Enhanced Nanozyme Catalysis Drives ROS‐Mediated Pathogen Killing and Mitophagy‐Linked Inflammation Control in Bacterial Pneumonia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nebulized BN@NF nanozymes integrate boron nanosheets with Nd‐doped iron phosphide to form a sono‐magneto‐responsive Z‐scheme heterostructure. Under ultrasound and magnetic activation, BN@NF amplifies ROS generation, eradicates bacteria, disrupts biofilms, and reshapes pulmonary inflammation through NF‐κB suppression, mitophagy promotion, and M1‐to‐M2 ...

Glutaminolysis Blockade‐Empowered Bimodal Nanodepot for Spatially Complementary Sono‐Thermal Ablation via PANoptosis and STING Activation Against Large Tumors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An injectable bimodal TCPD nanodepot disrupts glutaminolysis and TCA metabolism, sensitizing large tumors to spatially complementary sono‐thermal ablation for complete treatment coverage. This intervention induces mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum dysfunction, genotoxicity, and NAD+ depletion, converging to trigger PANoptosome assembly and ...

A comprehensive evaluation of non-explosive rock fragmentation techniques with a focus on the potential of soundless chemical demolition agents in the surface mining of gemstone in Zambia

Journal of the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy
Rock fragmentation methods in open pit gemstone mining have developed to give priority to safety, environmental sustainability, and crystal integrity. Though effective, traditional drill-and-blast techniques can generate vibrations, adverse emissions, and structural damage, all of which could be detrimental in fragile geological settings.
