Deep-penetration functionalized cuttlefish ink nanoparticles for combating wound infections with synergetic photothermal-immunologic therapy.

The challenge of wound infections post-surgery and open trauma caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria poses a constant threat to clinical treatment. As a promising antimicrobial treatment, photothermal therapy can effectively resolve the problem of drug resistance in conventional antibiotic antimicrobial therapy. Here, we report a deep-penetration functionalized cuttlefish ink nanoparticle (CINP) for photothermal and immunological therapy of wound infections.

Stemness Subtypes and Scoring System Predict Prognosis and Efficacy of Immunotherapy in Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

Tumor stemness has been reported to play important roles in cancers. However, a comprehensive analysis of tumor stemness remains to be performed to investigate the specific mechanisms and practical values of stemness in soft tissue sarcomas (STS). Here, we applied machine learning to muti-omic data of patients from TCGA-SARC and GSE21050 cohorts to reveal important roles of stemness in STS.

Pseudo construction of high-performance thermoelectric composites with a dioxothiopyrone-based D-A polymer coating on SWCNTs.

Organic polymer/inorganic particle composites with thermoelectric (TE) properties have witnessed rapid progress in recent years. Nevertheless, both development of novel polymers and optimization of compositing methods remain highly desirable. In this study, we first demonstrated a simulated coagulation strategy for construction of high-performance thermoelectric materials by utilizing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and a new D-A polymer TPO-TTP12 that was synthesized incorporating dioxothiopyrone subunit into a polymeric chain.
