Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) exhibit efficient cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capability and unique light-up features in the aggregated state, which have been well explored image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, limited penetration depth of light tissue severely hinders AIEgens as a candidate for primary or adjunctive clinical applications. Coincidentally, microwaves (MWs) show distinct advantage deeper tissues than light. Herein, first...

Copper-cysteamine as a new generation of sensitizers can be activated by light, X-rays, microwaves, or ultrasound to produce reactive oxygen species. X-ray induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) has been studied extensively; however, most the studies reported so far were conducted in laboratory, which is not conducive clinical translation conditions. In this contribution, for first time, we investigated treatment efficiency copper-cysteamine (Cu-Cy) based X-PDT mimicking conditions with linear...

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) holds a great promise for cancer patients, however, due to the hypoxic characteristics of most solid tumors and limited penetration depth light in tissues, extensive clinical application PDT is limited. Herein, we report microwave induced copper-cysteamine (Cu-Cy) nanoparticles-based as promising treatment overcome resistance combination with ferroptosis. The efficiency Cu-Cy-mediated dynamic therapy (MWDT) tested on HCT15 colorectal (CRC) cells via cell titer-blue...

Carbon dots have many new and interesting phenomena, the concentration dependent luminescence wavelength is an intriguing one. Herein, nitrogen-sulfur co-doped carbon (NSCDs) diluted to different concentrations, high of G-NSCDs (0.2 mg mL−1) with green fluorescence low-concentration B-NSCDs (0.01 blue were obtained. Further, it was found that detection behaviors are for concentrations. The "turn-off" fluorescent sensor can specifically recognize rifampicin in a linear range 0.2–20 μM limit...

Endometrial cancer (EC) stands as one of the most prevalent gynecological malignancies affecting women, with its incidence and disease-related mortality steadily on rise. Disulfiram (DSF), an FDA-approved medication primarily used for treating alcohol addiction, has exhibited promising anti-tumor properties. Studies have revealed DSF's capacity enhanced activity, particularly when combined copper. The novel Copper-Cysteamine (CuCy) compound, Cu

Highly sensitive and reliable detection of multiple myeloma remains a major challenge in liquid biopsy. Herein, for the first time, quantum dot-molecular beacon (QD-MB) functionalized MoS2 (QD-MB @MoS2) fluorescent probes were designed dual (MM)-related miRNA-155 miRNA-150. The results indicate that two can effectively detect miRNA-150 simultaneously with satisfactory recovery rates, limit detections (LODs) human serum are low to 7.19 fM 5.84 fM, respectively. These our method is most so far...

Carbon dots have many new and interesting phenomena the concentration‐dependent luminescence wavelength is an intriguing one. Luminescent carbon recently gained interest due to their such as its peak emission. While there been reports discussions on this phenomenon, mechanism continues be poorly understood. Herein, observations nitrogen–sulfur codoping (NSCDs) diluted at different concentrations show that high concentration of G‐NSCDs (0.2 mg mL −1 ) emits green fluorescence while low...

Flexible Light Emitting Diodes are versatile lighting solutions that offer bendable and adaptable illumination possibilities. A soft, flexible white luminescent film (1 mm) shows promise for foldable electroluminescent devices applications. This was fabricated using ZnS:Ag Mn. Under different excitation wavelengths, the phosphors emit blue light due to Ag+ luminescence centers red from d-d transition of Mn2+. The emission is greatly suppressed at high Mn2+ doping levels, requiring reduced in...

Triadic silica-supported polyhexamethylene [email protected] (HAP) composites were prepared and employed in a micro-column system for solid phase extraction of Cr (VI) with its determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). It is found that the triadic nano-HAP can efficiently adsorb at pH 4.0–6.0, but absorb almost no (III). The detection has good linear range 0.3–300 μg L−1, limit 0.09 L−1 (3σ, n = 11) precision 1.3% (20 on (VI). adsorption mechanisms are mainly...
