Metabolic reprogramming is considered one of the hallmarks of cancer in which cancer cells reprogram some of their metabolic cascades, mostly driven by the specific chemical microenvironment in cancer tissues. The altered metabolic pathways are increasingly being considered as potential targets for cancer therapy. In this view, Aldolase A (ALDOA), a key glycolytic enzyme, has been validated as a candidate oncogene in several cancers.

Several EBNA1-specific inhibitors have demonstrated the ability to block EBNA1 function in vitro, but practical delivery strategies for these inhibitors in vivo are still lacking. Here, we report an intelligent hierarchical targeting theranostic nanosystem (denoted as mZGOCS@MnO-P5) that integrates an azide (N3) terminal dual-targeting peptide (N3-P5), a tumor microenvironment-responsive degradable MnO nanosheet, and a mesoporous ZnGaO:Cr, Sn near-infrared persistent luminescence (NIR-PL) nanosphere (mZGOCS).

In several studies SMC are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathologic changes, and only one study has analyzed and found an association of SMC with other neurodegenerative, but not vascular, neuropathologic changes. Yet, the evidence on the association of SMC with non-AD neuropathologic changes is insufficient.

These associations remain unexplored in the oldest old (age 90+), an age group most vulnerable to dementia. In addition, no studies have examined if amyloid burden impacts these associations.
