To understand the high variability of asymptomatic interval between primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection and development AIDS, we studied evolution C2-V5 region HIV-1 env gene T-cell subsets in nine men with a moderate or slow rate disease progression. They were monitored from time seroconversion for period 6 to 12 years until advanced seven men. Based on analysis viral divergence founder strain, population diversity within sequential points, outgrowth viruses...
Various delivery vectors have been integrated within biologically derived membrane systems to extend their residential time and reduce reticuloendothelial system (RES) clearance during systemic circulation. However, rational design is still needed further improve the in situ penetration efficiency of chemo-drug-loaded delivery-system formulations release profiles at tumor site. Here, a macrophage-membrane-coated nanoparticle developed for tumor-targeted chemotherapy with controlled profile...
Encapsulation of small-molecule drugs in hydrophobic polymers or amphiphilic copolymers has been extensively used for preparing polymeric nanoparticles (NPs).

In this Communication, we report strategy prepare NPs with exceptionally high drug (>50%) quantitative efficiency. Specifically, dimeric conjugate bearing trigger-responsive domain was designed as the core-constructing unit NPs. Upon co-precipitation...
The extracellular (interstitial) pH (pHe) of solid tumours is significantly more acidic compared to normal tissues. In-vitro, low reduces the uptake weakly basic chemotherapeutic drugs and, hence, their cytotoxicity. This phenomenon has been postulated contribute a 'physiological' resistance in vivo. Doxorubicin weak base agent that commonly used combination chemotherapy clinically treat breast cancers. report demonstrates MCF-7 human cancer cells vitro are susceptible doxorubicin toxicity...
Current strategies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatments focus on pathologies in the late stage of progression. Poor clinical outcomes are displayed due to irreversible damages caused by early microglia abnormality which triggers development before identical symptoms emerge. Based crosstalk between and brain microenvironment, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive polymeric micelle system (Ab-PEG-LysB/curcumin (APLB/CUR)) is reported normalize oxidative inflammatory microenvironment...

Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most aggressive malignancy with a five year survival rate of <5%. The aberrant expression extracellular matrix (ECM) in tumor stroma forms compact physical barrier, which that leads to insufficient extravasation and penetration nanosized therapies. To overcome severe resistance PDAC conventional therapies, sequentially triggered nanoparticle (aptamer/cell‐penetrating peptide‐camptothecin prodrug, i.e., Apt/CPP‐CPTD NPs) intelligent...
Glioma is regarded as the deadliest and most common brain tumor because of extremely difficult surgical excision ascribed from its invasive nature. In addition, natural blood-brain barrier (BBB) greatly restricts therapeutics' penetration into central nervous system. Carmustine (BCNU) a widely used antiglioma drug in clinical applications. However, serious complications prevent it being applied setting to some extent. Thus, urgent explore novel BCNU delivery systems specially designed for...
Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs), devoid of hormone receptors and human epidermal growth-factor receptor-2/Neu expression, bring about poor prognosis induce a high rate systematic metastases. The ineffectiveness current therapies on TNBCs could be attributed to the lack efficient targeted therapy. Paclitaxel (PTX) is considered one first-line chemotherapeutics for TNBC treatment but, due its low aqueous solubility nonspecific accumulation, results in antitumor efficacy. present study...
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) constitute over 50% of the number cells within tumor, playing a major role in tumor progression and invasion. Remodeling immune microenvironment by modulating TAM polarization has been emerging as new promising therapeutic strategy. However, high interstitial fluid pressure dense extracellular matrix lead to insufficient penetration nanosized therapies. To overcome this dilemma, an acid-triggered size-changeable nanoparticle (aptamer/acid sensitive linker...
In clinical therapy, the poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is mainly attributed to failure chemotherapeutical agents accumulate in tumor as well their serious systemic toxicity. this work, we developed actively tumor-targeting trilayer micelles with microenvironment-sensitive cross-links a novel nanocarrier for HCC therapy. These comprised biodegradable PEG-pLys-pPhe polymers, which pLys could react disulfide-containing agent form redox-responsive cross-links. vitro drug...
The activation of caspase-3 is an important hallmark in Parkinson's disease. It could induce neuron death by apoptosis and microglia inflammation. As a result, inhibition the would exert synergistic dual effect brain order to prevent progress Silencing genes RNA interference inhibit caspase-3.

The hybrid architecture of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformer are very popular for medical image segmentation. However, it suffers from two challenges. First, although a CNNs branch can capture the local features using vanilla convolution, cannot achieve adaptive feature learning. Second, global features, ignores channel cross-dimensional self-attention, resulting in low segmentation accuracy on complex-content images. To address these challenges, we propose novel hand with...
