Detecting Changes in Singlet Oxygen and Viscosity during Apoptosis-Ferroptosis Mediated Photodynamic Therapy and Establishing Visual Imaging of Fatty Liver.

Cancer is a serious global health threat, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment method for cancer. This therapy works by generating a large amount of singlet oxygen (O) under the influence of oxygen and light, which induces apoptosis in tumor cells, leading to their destruction. However, the resistance of cells to apoptosis limits the development of PDT, and thus the combination of ferroptosis and apoptosis provides a new perspective for PDT.

A Novel Strategy for Excellent Piezocatalytic Activity in Lead-Free BaTiO-Based Materials via Manipulating the Multiphase Coexistence.

Piezocatalysis is regarded as a fascinating technology for water remediation and possible disease treatment. A high piezoelectric coefficient () is one of the most important parameters to determine piezocatalytic performance, which can be manipulated via phase boundary design. Herein, a novel strategy for excellent piezocatalytic activity in lead-free BaTiO-based materials via manipulating the multiphase coexistence is proposed.
