Activating the STING pathway in cytosol of tumor-infiltrating antigen-presenting cells (APCs) represents a promising strategy to elicit potent antitumor immune responses for cancer therapy. However, agonists are mostly small hydrophilic molecules that suffer from rapid clearance and poor cytosolic delivery following systemic administration. While various nanoparticles have been developed promote delivery, they often exhibit premature drug release during circulation. Alternatively, stable...

Many loT applications require high-resolution delta-sigma modulator (DSM) ADCs with good power efficiency. To meet this demand, one current technical trend involves employing a continuous-time (CT) topology as opposed to switched-capacitor since the CT offers easy-driven and anti-aliasing features. Nevertheless, kHz-level-BW DSM often requires MΩ-range high-R resistors [1]–[3]. Using normal poly implement consumes large silicon area introduces distributed-parameter parasitic capacitance. It...
