The dysregulated macrophage phenotype, as the main cause of colitis, not only enhanced oxidative stress to exacerbate inflammatory responses but was closely related with gut microbial dysbiosis. It needed simultaneously address three issues for effective treatment it satisfied. Here, we developed "three-birds-one-stone" probiotics, named Se@EcN-C2/A2, colitis treatment. Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN), a clinically approved probiotic, used intracellularly synthesize selenium (Se)...

Enhanced angiography based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a noninvasive, robust, and high-resolution technique for the clinical evaluation of vascular diseases. However, effects Gd-chelating contrast agents are unsatisfactory MRI enhancement owing to their short blood half-life caused by rapid extravasation, especially in microvessels. To address these issues, nanoprobes red cell membrane-coated ultrasmall NaGdF4 nanoparticles that exhibit much higher longitudinal molar...
