Understanding the molecular basis of drug resistance and utilising this information to overcome chemoresistance remains a key challenge in oncology.Here we report that survivin, protein implicated resistance, is overexpressed cancer stem cell pool doxorubicin-resistant breast cells.Moreover, by an active targeting system consisting RNA aptamer targeted against epithelial adhesion molecule Dicer substrate survivin siRNA, could deliver high dose siRNA cells xenograft tumours.Importantly,...
The incorporation of a high percentage targeting molecules into drug delivery system is one the important methods for improving efficacy therapeutic drugs to cancer cells. PLGA-based carriers with folic acid (FA) as molecule have low efficiency due FA conjugation ratio. In this work, we fabricated FA-conjugated PLGA using crosslinker 1, 3-diaminopropane and achieved ratio 46.7% (mol/mol). as-prepared biomaterial was used encapsulate 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) nanoparticles. in vitro experiments,...
Acquired drug resistance (ADR) can be developed in colorectal cancer cells after 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment and diminish the effectiveness of chemotherapy. In this work, acquired 5-FU cell line SW480 was obtained with up-regulation dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) gene expression which convert to its inactive metabolite. To overcome ADR cancer, hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) grafted epidermal growth factor (EGF) were used as nanocarriers deliver resistance. The...
Abstract Photoresponsive molecular systems are essential for optoelectronic devices, but most building blocks non‐photoresponsive. Employed here is a photoinduced proton transfer (PIPT) strategy to control charge transport through single‐molecule azulene junctions with visible light under ambient conditions, which leads reversible and controllable photoresponsive device based on non‐photoresponsive molecules photoacid. Also demonstrated the application of PIPT in two AND gate OR devices...
Molecular components are vital to introduce and manipulate quantum interference (QI) in charge transport through molecular electronic devices. Up now, the functional units that show QI mostly found conventional π- σ-bond-based systems; it is thus intriguing study multicenter bonding systems without both σ-conjugations.

The manipulation of molecule-electrode interaction is essential for the fabrication molecular devices and determines connectivity from electrodes to components. Although could be controlled by design place anchor groups in different positions molecule backbones, reversible switching such connectivities remains challenging. Here, we develop an electric-field-induced strategy switch single-molecule junctions reversibly, leading same backbone. Our results offer a new concept provide feasible...
Although most molecular electronic devices and materials consist of a backbone with planar structure, twisted wires reduced inter-ring π-orbital overlap offer unique opportunity for the modularized fabrication devices. Herein we investigate tuning charge transport through localized molecules by designing highly investigating their single-molecule using scanning tunneling microscopy break junction technique. We find that anthracenediyl-core molecule 90° twist angle shows an unexpectedly high...
Inspired by the initial proposal of σ-bridged donor–acceptor (D-σ-A) single-molecule diodes in 1974, extensive studies over past 50 years have explored various designs for π-conjugated D-π–A due to their feasible chemical synthesis and effective charge transfer. However, rectification ratio has been long-term limited challenge asymmetric electronic coupling induce effect.
