Article Synopsis
- A new type of drug delivery system, called Janus cargo, combines magnetic mesoporous silica with Pt nanoparticles to effectively target and treat cancer cells.
- The unique design allows for efficient loading of drugs and provides magnetic properties for isolating low-abundance target cells while the Pt nanoparticles help improve oxygen levels in tumors.
- Tests with CCRF-CEM cells show that Janus cargo enhances drug release and therapeutic effects due to its asymmetric structure, leading to better treatment outcomes compared to traditional delivery systems.
A cost-effective, facile, and sensitive fluorescence sensing strategy for Pb ion detection has been developed based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and Au nanoparticles (NPs). Glutathione (GSH)-synthesized CQDs acted as both the fluorescence donor and the sorbent to extract Pb ions from the solution via Pb-GSH complexes. Pb ions on CQDs reacted with -SH groups on AuNPs to generate sandwich-type Au-PdS-CQDs, leading to a dramatic decrease in the fluorescence of the CQDs.

This provides a platform to enhance the functionality of TiO2 nanotubes for a wide range of applications. Here we show that such modified nanotubes can serve as a 3D scaffold for an ideal decoration with RuO2 nanoparticles.
