Reperfusion injury is still a major challenge that impedes neuronal survival in ischemic stroke. However, the current clinical treatments are remained on single pathological process, which due to lack of comprehensive neuroprotective effects. Herein, macrophage-disguised honeycomb manganese dioxide (MnO2 ) nanosphere loaded with fingolimod (FTY) developed salvage penumbra. In particular, biomimetic nanoparticles can accumulate actively damaged brain via macrophage-membrane protein-mediated...

Reperfusion injury exists as the major obstacle to full recovery of neuron functions after ischemic stroke onset and clinical thrombolytic therapies. Complex cellular cascades including oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, brain vascular impairment occur within neurovascular units, leading microthrombus formation ultimate death. In this work, a multitarget micelle system is developed simultaneously modulate various cell types involved in these events. Briefly, rapamycin encapsulated...

Abstract Current therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatments mainly focus on β‐amyloid (Aβ) targeting. However, such have limited clinical outcomes due to the chronic and irreversible impairment of nervous system in late stage AD. Recently, inflammatory responses, manifested oxidative stress glial cell activation, been reported as hallmarks early stages Based crosstalk between response brain cells, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐responsive dendrimer–peptide conjugate...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most intractable malignancy, with an only 6% 5-year relative survival rate. The dismal therapeutic effect attributed to chemotherapy resistance and unique pathophysiology abundant inflammatory cytokines abnormal hyperplasia extracellular matrix (ECM). Based on theory that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) can influence tumorous microenvironment malignant growth PDAC, we employed exosomes (Exos) derived from BM-MSCs as...

Anticancer therapies, which can induce cell death and elevate antitumor immune response in the meantime, are considered as effective treatments for many types of cancers. Immunogenic (ICD) induced by chemodrugs is a promising typical strategy to achieve cytotoxicity immunological enhancement together. However, due low level ICD induction less tumor-targeting accumulation, application traditional inducers limited. Here, core-shell magnetic nanoparticles (ETP-PtFeNP:α-enolase targeting peptide...

Metabolic interactions between different cell types in the tumor microenvironment (TME) often result reprogramming of metabolism to be totally from their normal physiological processes order support growth. Many studies have attempted inhibit growth and activate immunity by regulating tumors other cells TME. However, metabolic inhibitors suffer heterogeneity tumors, since favorable regulation malignant TME is inconsistent with each other. Therefore, we reported design a pH-sensitive drug...

Lack of tumor-infiltration lymphocytes (TILs) and resistances by overexpressed immunosuppressive cells (principally, myeloid-derived suppressor (MDSCs)) in tumor milieu are two major challenges hindering the effectiveness immunotherapy for "immune-cold" tumors. In addition, natural physical barrier existing solid cancer also limits deeper delivery drugs. Here, a tumor-targeting light-responsive-penetrable nanoplatform (Apt/PDGs

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is considered as one of the most aggressive malignancies due to its unique microenvironment which cardinal histopathological feature remarkable desmoplasia stroma, taking up about 80% tumor mass. The desmoplastic stroma negatively affects drug diffusion and infiltration T cells, leading an immunosuppressive microenvironment. However, this can limit physical spread pancreatic cancer via a neighbor suppression effect. Here, central targeting responsive...

Abstract The frequent relapse and metastasis characteristics of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) make it a fraught issue with very poor prognosis in clinic. An effective treatment for TNBC should prevent even eliminate as well suppress primary lesion expansion. Recent progress reveals that platelets can be recruited activated by tumor cells through intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAM), help aggressive circulating (CTCs) form metastasis. Therefore, are considered possession...

Abstract Episodic memory retrieval is increasingly influenced by schematic information as memories mature, but it unclear whether this due to the slow formation of schemas over time, or forgetting episodes. To address this, we separately probed for newly learned well their influence on episodic decisions. In experiment, participants encoded images from two categories, with location in each category drawn a different spatial distribution. They could thus learn locations encoding specific We...

Are associative memories forgotten more quickly than item memories, and does the level of original learning differentially influence forgetting rates? In this study, we addressed these questions by having participants learn single words word pairs once (Experiment 1), three times 2), six 3) in a massed (ML) or distributed (DL) mode. Then they were tested for recognition separately after four retention intervals: 10 min, 1 d, wk, mo. The contribution recollection familiarity processes...

Abstract Many of the sensations experienced by an organism are caused their own actions, and accurately anticipating both sensory features timing self-generated stimuli is crucial to a variety behaviors. In auditory cortex, neural responses sounds exhibit frequency-specific suppression, suggesting that movement-based predictions may be implemented early in processing. Yet it remains unknown whether this modulation results from behaviorally specific temporally precise prediction, nor known...
