A new type of monodispersed mesoporous silica nanoparticles with a core–cone structure (MSN‐CC) has been synthesized. The large cone‐shaped pores are formed by lamellae closely packed encircling spherical core, showing similar to the flower dahlia . MSN‐CC pore size 45 nm and high volume 2.59 cm 3 g −1 demonstrates loading capacity proteins successfully delivers active β‐galactosidase into cells, their potential as efficient nanocarriers for cellular delivery molecular weights.
Immunosuppressive tumors generally exhibit poor response to immune checkpoint blockade based cancer immunotherapy. Rationally designed hybrid nanoreactors are now presented that have integrated functions as Fenton catalysts and glutathione depletion agents for amplifying the immunogenic cell death activating cells. A simple physical mixture of chemodrugs in combination with blockades show synergistically concurrently enhanced chemo-immunotherapy efficacy, inhibiting growth both treated...
Abstract Hypoxia‐activated prodrugs have brought new opportunities for safe and effective tumor ablation, but their therapeutic efficacy is limited by insufficient activation in microenvironments.

Abstract The direct depletion of lactate accumulated in the tumor microenvironment holds promise for cancer therapy but remains challenging. Herein, we report a one‐pot synthesis openwork@ dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (ODMSNs) to address this problem. ODMSNs self‐assembled through time‐resolved lamellar growth mechanism feature an openworked core and shell, both constructed by nanosheets ≈3 nm. With large pore size, high surface area volume, exhibited loading capacity (>0.7 g...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint degenerative disease that causes pain, damage, and dysfunction. External hyaluronic acid (HA) supplement method for the management of osteoarthritis which requires multi-injections. It demonstrated biodegradable mesoporous silica nanoparticles successfully deliver an enzyme, hyaluronan synthase type 2 (HAS2), into synoviocytes from temporomandibular (TMJ) generate endogenous HA with high molecular weights. In rat TMJ inflammation model, this strategy...
Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) was loaded and delivered by silver-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-Ag) for biofilm treatments.
Bioactive membranes with growth factors that mimic the physiological microenvironment of periodontal tissues have shown great potential for guided tissue regeneration (GTR). However, loss bioactivity and uncontrolled drug release in conventional limit their efficacy. In addition, local infection control ability would provide additional benefits to regeneration. this work, nanoengineered factor antibiotic delivery capabilities were developed achieve dual functions efficient GTR. Mesoporous...

Abstract Recently, dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles with widespread applications have attracted great interest. Despite many publications (>800), the terminology “dendritic” is ambiguous. Understanding what possible “dendritic structures” are, their formation mechanisms and underlying structure–property relationship fundamentally important. With advance of characterization techniques such as electron tomography, two types tree‐branch‐like flower‐like structures can be...
