Real-time temperature monitoring inside living organisms provides a direct measure of their biological activities, such as homeostatic thermoregulation and energy metabolism. However, it is challenging to reduce the size bio-compatible thermometers down submicrometers despite potential applications for thermal imaging subtissue structures with single-cell resolution. Light-emitting nanothermometers that remotely sense via optical signals exhibit considerable in \textit{in-vivo}...

Light harvesting, separation of charge carriers, and surface reactions are three fundamental steps that essential for an efficient photocatalyst. Here we show these in the TiO2 can be boosted simultaneously by disorder engineering. A solid-state reduction reaction between sodium forms a core-shell c-TiO2@a-TiO2-x(OH)y heterostructure, comprised HO-Ti-[O]-Ti frustrated Lewis pairs (SFLPs) embedded amorphous shell surrounding crystalline core, which enables new genre chemical reactivity....

Abstract Background & Aims Following the classification of metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), non‐alcoholic (NAFLD) has recently been redefined again as steatotic (MASLD). However, distinctions in characteristics and mortality outcomes between NAFLD, MAFLD MASLD remain unclear. Methods We analysed data from 7519 participants third National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys United States (US) their linked until 2019. Survey weight‐adjusted multivariable Cox...

Making even tiny diamonds valuable: Nanodiamonds (NDs) were covalently functionalized with hyperbranched polyglycerol (PG) by ring-opening polymerization to improve their suitability for biomedical applications (see scheme). The PG-grafted NDs highly soluble not only in pure water (>20 mg mL−1), but also a buffer (>16 and separated according size size-exclusion chromatography.

Upon contact with biofluids, proteins are quickly adsorbed onto the nanoparticle (NP) surface to form a protein corona, which initiates opsonization and facilitates rapid clearance of NP by macrophage uptake. Although polyethylene glycol (PEG) functionalization has been standard approach evade uptake reducing adsorption, it cannot fully eliminate nonspecific Herein, polyglycerol (PG) grafting is demonstrated as better alternative PEG. NPs various size material were grafted PG PEG at 30, 20,...

Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have emerged as promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their poor intrinsic conductivity and significant volume changes result in slow redox kinetics structural collapse during cycling, which hinder practical application. Here, a hierarchical hybrid is synthesized by evenly dispersing Ni2P particles with N-doped carbon encapsulation on Co(OH)2 nanosheets (Co(OH)2/Ni2P@N–C). This distinctive structure enhances electron/ion...

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most abundant stromal cells in tumor microenvironment. Turning TAMs against their host is an intriguing therapeutic strategy particularly attractive for patients with immunologically "cold" tumors. This concept was mechanistically demonstrated on vitro human and murine lung cancer corresponding TAM models through combinatorial use of nanodiamond-doxorubicin conjugates (Nano-DOX) a PD-L1 blocking agent BMS-1. Nano-DOX previously proved to be able...
