No prominent advancements in osteosarcoma (OS) treatment have been made the past 20 years. Although photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging technique for cancer therapy, lack of targeted photosensitizers OS severely limits its applications. In this study, we constructed a potential theranostic nanoplatform by using (poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulating IR780 into shell (PLGA-IR780 NPs), which were further camouflaged with human cell membranes from HOS...

Mono-therapeutic modality has limitations in combating metastatic lesions with complications. Although emerging immunotherapy exhibits preliminary success, solid tumors are usually immunosuppressive, leading to ineffective antitumor immune responses and immunotherapeutic resistance. The rational combination of several therapeutic modalities may potentially become a new strategy effectively combat cancer.Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA, 50 mg) nanospheres were constructed photothermal...

Abstract Copper/carbon catalysts under different electron‐transfer regimes can evolve both radical and nonradical pathways in peroxide activation. However, the underlying trigger to manipulate transition between is unclear. Herein, it revealed that Cu species a state of sub‐nanometre particles (SNPs, < 1 nm) exhibits an electrophilic nature, which opposite its nucleophilic nature at larger scale (nanoclusters, > nm). This switch nucleophile/electrophile leads distinct catalytic...
