Although nanomedicines have been pursued for nearly 20 years, fundamental chemical strategies that seek to optimize both the drug and carrier together in a concerted effort remain uncommon yet may be powerful. In this work, two block polymers one dimeric prodrug molecule were designed coassembled into degradable, functional nanocarriers, where chemistry of each component was defined accomplish important tasks. The result is poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-protected redox-responsive paclitaxel...

Fundamental studies that gain an understanding of the tunability physical properties natural product-based polymers are vital for optimizing their performance in extensive applications. Variation glass transition temperature (Tg) was studied as a function side chain structure and molar mass linear poly(glucose carbonate)s. A remarkable range Tg values, from 38 to 125 °C, accomplished with six different alkyloxycarbonyl chains. The impact on investigated two series discrete oligomers...
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) induces immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumors and promises to play an assistive role immunotherapy pancreatic cancer. However, the short half-life limited diffusion distance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) impair ICD induction, especially with relatively poor blood perfusion dense stroma.To address this problem, we fabricated cavitation-assisted endoplasmic reticulum (ER) targeted sonodynamic nanodroplets (PMPS NDs, 329 nm). The good effect precise target was...
Abstract As an iron‐dependent, non‐apoptosis, regulated cell death (RCD) modality, ferroptosis has gained growing attention for cancer therapy. With the development of nanomaterials in biomedical field, ferroptotic nanomedicine is extensively investigated. Amongst various nanomaterials, metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybridized porous materials consisting metal ions or clusters bridged by organic linkers. The superior properties MOFs, such as high porosity and cargo loading, ease...
Mechanical ventilation can induce or aggravate lung injury, which is termed ventilator-induced injury (VILI). Piezo1 a key element of the mechanotransduction process and transduce mechanical signals into biological by mediating Ca2+ influx, in turn regulates cytoskeletal remodeling stress alterations. We hypothesized that it plays an important role occurrence VILI, investigated underlying mechanisms.High tidal volume high magnitude cyclic stretch were performed on Sprague-Dawley rats, A549...
