For cancer metastasis inhibition, the combining of nanozymes with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy remains the major challenge in controllable reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation for creating effective immunogenicity. Herein, new nanozymes with light-controlled ROS production in terms of quantity and variety are developed by conjugating supramolecular-wrapped Fe single atom on iridium metallene with lattice-strained nanoislands (FeSA-Ir@PF NSs). The Fenton-like catalysis of FeSA-Ir@PF NSs effectively produced •OH radicals in dark, which induced ferroptosis and apoptosis of cancer cells.

However, targeting CSCs is still the main challenge in cancer therapy due to their rapid growth and fast mutation rate. Herein, we developed a simple strategy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) targeting CSCs, dependent on much more abundant ribosomes in CSCs.

Therefore, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have been widely applied as anti-tumour strategies due to their high-performance and limited side effects.

Herein, a multifunctional nanotheranostic agent FePtMn-Ce6/FA (FPMCF NPs) is constructed by covalently anchoring photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and targeting molecule folic acid (FA) on ultrasmall homogeneous ternary FePtMn nanocrystals. Response to tumor microenvironment (TME), FPMCF NPs can release Fe to catalyze H O into •OH by Fenton reaction and simultaneously catalyze hydrogen peroxide (H O ) into O to overcome the tumor hypoxia barrier.

In this work, BPNs exhibit excellent photothermal and photodynamic behaviors under different wavelength laser irradiation. After polyethylenimine (PEI) modification, FePt NPs with sizes of 3-4 nm are uniformly attached onto the surface of modified BPNs via electrostatic adsorption.

In this work, a promising therapy for tumor treatment that can eliminate primary tumors and prevent tumor relapses is introduced by combining chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT) and immunotherapy. Multifunctional FePt/MoS-FA nanocomposites (FPMF NCs) were obtained via anchoring FePt nanoparticles and folic acid (FA) on MoS nanosheets.

In this work, an acidity-sensitive nanotheranostic agent (FePt@MnO)@DSPE-PEG5000-FA (FMDF NPs) was successfully constructed for MR imaging guided ferroptosis chemodynamic therapy (FCDT) of cancer. The FMDF NPs could specifically target folic acid (FA) receptor-positive tumor cells (HeLa etc.

In this work, uniform FePt nanoparticles are successfully anchored onto Few-layer molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (F-MoS NSs). The powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectra and atomic force microscopy were employed to confirm the structure of the obtained nanocomposites (F-MoS-FePt NCs).

The effective capture and separation of CTCs has significant meaning in cancer diagnosis and prognosis. In this study, novel FeO-FePt magnetic nanocomposites (FeO-FePt MNCs) were constructed by integrating face centered cubic (fcc) FePt nanoparticles (NPs) onto the surface of the FeO@SiO core.

In this paper, we evaluated the response mechanism between tartrazine and lysozyme under simulated conditions by means of biophysical methods, including multiple spectroscopic techniques, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and molecular docking studies. From the multispectroscopic analysis, we found that tartrazine could effectively quench the intrinsic fluorescence of lysozyme to form a complex and lead to the conformational and microenvironmental changes of the enzyme.

Bimetallic-based nanoparticles usually display improved catalytic performance compared to monometallic counterparts. Herein, the well-dispersed FePt nanoparticles decorated on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets have been successfully synthesized by a simple polyol protocol method. The FePt/GO nanocomposites were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), magnetic property measurement system (MPMS), and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), respectively.
