The classical photodynamic therapy (PDT) requires external light to activate photosensitizers for cancer treatment. However, limited tissue penetration of has been a long-standing challenge PDT cure malignant tumors in deep tissues. Recently, Cerenkov radiation (CR) emitted by radiotracers such as 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) become an alternative and promising internal source. Nevertheless, fluorine-18 (F-18) only releases 1.3 photons per decay average; consequently, injection dose F-18...

Abstract A great hurdle in the production of synthetic polypeptides lies access N -carboxyanhydrides (NCA) monomers, which requires dry solvents, Schlenk line/gloveboxe, and protection side-chain functional groups. Here we report a robust method for preparing unprotected NCA monomers air under moisture. The employs epoxy compounds as ultra-fast scavengers hydrogen chloride to allow assisted ring-closure prevent from acid-catalyzed decomposition moist conditions. broad scope group tolerance...

Osteochondral injury is a common and frequent orthopedic disease that can lead to more serious degenerative joint disease. Tissue engineering promising modality for osteochondral repair, but the implanted scaffolds are often immunogenic induce unwanted foreign body reaction (FBR). Here, we prepare polypept(o)ide-based PAA-RGD hydrogel using novel thiol/thioester dual-functionalized hyperbranched polypeptide P(EG3Glu-co-Cys) maleimide-functionalized polysarcosine under biologically benign...

ABSTRACT In the pursuit of advanced energy storage technologies that promote sustainable solutions, zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to lithium‐ion due their abundance, safety, and environmental advantages. However, failure mechanisms ZIBs under extreme temperatures are still not fully understood, presenting significant challenges development commercialization. Therefore, innovative strategies essential enhance adaptability temperature extremes. this review,...

Abstract Despite the advantages of low cost, safety, and environmental friendliness, aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) encounter challenges such as zinc dendrite formation, severe side reactions, electrolyte instability. Many effective additives exhibit limited solubility in water, thus reducing their practical application potential. In this study, a dissolution‐promoting strategy is proposed by introducing citric acid (CA) to enhance dissolution aspartame (APM), resulting sulfate...

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) induces high-energy radiation within cancer cells while avoiding damage to normal without uptake of BNCT drugs, which is holding great promise provide excellent control over locally invasive malignant tumors. However, lack quantitative imaging technique determine local boron concentration has been a challenge for nuclear physicians apply accurate irradiation during the treatment, key factor that limited BNCT's application in clinics. To meet this...

ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as a promising energy storage solution due to their eco‐friendly aqueous electrolytes, high theoretical capacity of zinc anodes, and abundant global reserves. Among the reported cathode materials, manganese‐based cathodes are widely used in AZIBs low cost. However, practical applications face several challenges, including structural instability, electrical conductivity, slow diffusion kinetics. This review begins by exploring...

We reported a classical two-tile system of DAE-O (doublecrossover, antiparallel, and even half-turns tiles with odd connection) to construct regular single crystalline 2D (two dimensional) DNA lattices, using pre-circularised oligonucleotides 42-, 64-, 84-nt (nucleotides) as the central looped strands in DAE respectively. 42- 64-nt strands, either circular form or linear form, grew lattices well. However including strand those polycrystalline lattices. A subtle difference lateral rigidity...

Polypeptides are synthetic polymers with a similar main chain structure to proteins, which can form various secondary structures, providing new dimension for regulating the macroscopic properties of materials.To investigate effect structures on polypeptide materials, we designed crosslinking agents α-helical and random coil structures.We synthesized glutamic acid derivatives triethylene glycol monomethyl ether as side chain, subsequently prepared them N-carboxy anhydride (NCA) monomers.We...

To access infinitely recyclable plastics, one key is to design thermodynamically neutral systems based on dynamic bonds for easy manipulation of the polymerization and reverse depolymerization under low energy cost. Here, we present controlled ring-opening various penicillamine-derived β-thiolactones highly specific resultant polythioesters (PN R -PenTE) complete monomer recycling. The gem -dimethyl group confers better ROP control by reducing activity chain-end thiolate groups stabilizing...
