As an increased product of high-rate aerobic glycolysis in tumors, lactate could regulate the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). A PEG-CDM surface modified, GSH-dependent responsive hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoplatform loaded with hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) and siMCT-4 was administrated for synergistic chemo-immunotherapy. The cascaded responded to weak acid TME high level GSH cells. HCPT were continuously released from chemotherapy inhibiting intracellular efflux....

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most important components in tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment, promoting growth and metastasis. Although TAMs have become one of hot topics immunotherapy, challenges still remain to achieve TAM-targeted re-polarization therapy. In this work, porous hollow iron oxide nanoparticles (PHNPs) were synthesized for loading a P13K γ small molecule inhibitor (3-methyladenine, 3-MA) further modified by mannose target TAMs. The delivery system named...

Abstract The poor osseointegration and postoperative bacterial infection are prominently responsible for the failure of titanium (Ti)‐based implant in clinic. To address above issues, methacryloyl modified graphene oxide (GOMA) as zinc ions (Zn 2+ ) reservoir release platform was fabricated on Ti substrates with cathode electrophoresis deposition (EPD). Afterward, phenylboronic acid (PBA) functionalization methacryloyl‐gelatin (GelMA‐PBA) reacting GOMA through situ free‐radical...

Angiogenesis at the fracture site plays crucial roles in endogenous osteogenesis process and is a prerequisite for efficient repair of implant fixed bone defects. To improve peri-implant vascularization titanium accelerating defect healing, we developed Co-doped Mg-Al layered hydroxide coating on surface using hydrothermal reaction then modified with gallic acid (Ti-LDH/GA). Gallic enabled sustained release Co
