Self-propelling intelligent nanomotor: A dual-action photothermal and starvation strategy for targeted deep tumor destruction.

Delivering nanoparticles to deep tumor tissues while maintaining high therapeutic efficacy and minimizing damage to surrounding tissues has long posed a significant challenge. To address this, we have developed innovative self-propelling bowl-shaped nanomotors MSLA@GOx-PDA composed of mesoporous silica loaded with l-arginine and polydopamine, along with glucose oxidase (GOx). These nanomotors facilitate the generation of hydrogen peroxide through GOx-catalyzed glucose oxidation, thereby initiating nitric oxide production from l-arginine.

The role of lateral hypothalamic nucleus in mediating locomotive behaviors in pigeons (Columba livia).

The lateral hypothalamic nucleus (LHy) is located in the dorsolateral hypothalamus of birds, and it is essential to many life processes. However, limited information is available about the role of LHy in mediating locomotive behaviors. In this work, we investigated the structure and function of LHy in pigeons (Columba livia) by Nissl staining, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, insituhybridization (ISH) staining and constant current stimulation methods.
