Abstract Extracellular nanovesicles (ENV) released by many cells contain lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids that contribute to intercellular communication. ENVs have emerged as biomarkers therapeutic targets but they also been explored drug delivery vehicles. However, for the latter application, clinical translation has limited low yield inadequate targeting effects. ENV vectors with desired properties can be produced from parental engineered express membrane-bound ligands, or generated...
Abstract Bone metastasis occurs at ≈70% frequency in metastatic breast cancer. The mechanisms used by tumors to hijack the skeleton, promote bone metastases, and confer therapeutic resistance are poorly understood. This has led development of various models investigate interactions between cancer cells host marrow related physiological changes. However, it is challenging perform studies due difficulty periodic sampling. Herein, a bone‐on‐a‐chip (BC) reported for spontaneous growth 3D,...
Viruses pose serious infectious disease threats to humans and animals. To significantly decrease the mortality morbidity caused by virus infections, there is an urgent need of sensitive rapid point-of-care platforms for detection, especially in low-resource settings. Herein, we developed a smartphone-based platform highly selective detection avian influenza based on nanomaterial-enabled colorimetric detection. The 3D nanostructures, which serve as scaffold antibody conjugation capture virus,...
Rapid and simultaneous detection of multiple potential pathogens by portable devices can facilitate early diagnosis infectious diseases, allow for rapid effective implementation disease prevention treatment measures.

Preparing high-quality perovskite film with large grain size and fewer trap states is of vital importance in boosting the efficiency stability solar cells (PSCs). However, it still difficult to obtain perfect MAPbI3 films by antisolvent treatment so far because small size, pinholes, numerous defects layers. Herein, acetonitrile (ACN) was introduced into chlorobenzene (CB) modify active layer. The results show that ACN could control ratio DMSO MAI-PbI2-DMSO intermediate phase effectively thus...
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) targeting PD-1/PD-L1 have been approved for the treatment of a variety cancers. However, efficacy antibody-based ICIs could be further improved by mitigating anti-drug antibodies, proteolytic cleavage, and on-target off-tumor toxicity. One strategy accomplishing this is through use extracellular vesicles (EVs), cell derived submicron with many unique properties. We constructed an engineered MDA-MB-231 line harvesting EVs. This was accomplished...
Endo-/lysosome escape is a major challenge in nanoparticle-based protein delivery for cancer therapy. To enhance the endo-/lysosomal and increase efficacy of delivery, current strategies mainly focus on destroying endo-/lysosomes by employing modified nanoparticles, such as pH-sensitive polyplexes, cell-penetrating peptides, photosensitive molecules. Herein, we hypothesize that pretreatment with empty nanocarriers might make occupied affect endo/lysosomal subsequently nanocarriers. We first...
Viral diseases are perpetual threats to human and animal health. Detection characterization of viral pathogens require accurate, sensitive, rapid diagnostic assays. For field clinical samples, the sample preparation procedures limit ultimate performance utility overall virus protocols. This study presents development a microfluidic device embedded with porous silicon nanowire (pSiNW) forest for label‐free size‐based point‐of‐care capture in continuous curved flow design. The pSiNW forests...
Nanoscale extracellular vesicles (nEVs) have recently demonstrated potential value in cancer diagnostics and treatment monitoring, but translation has been limited by technical challenges nEV isolation.
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous subset of characterized by its lack estrogen receptor, progesterone and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), which altogether prevents TNBC from being treated effectively. For many years, the treatment paradigms overall survival patients with have remained largely stagnant. Recent attempts to convert cold tumors hot promoting antigen presentation shown increased T cell infiltration significantly induced immune responses for...

The doped TPT-S, on one hand, passivates...
Abstract Conventional light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) utilizes two perpendicularly arranged objective lenses for optical excitation and detection, respectively. Such a configuration often limits the use of high‐numerical‐aperture (NA) objectives or requires specially designed long‐working‐distance objectives. Here, LSFM based on micro‐mirror array (MMA) to enable imaging with single lens is reported. The planar fluorescent emission excited by illumination collected same objective,...
