Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality, with aggressive, treatment-resistant tumors posing significant challenges. Current combination therapies and imaging approaches often fail due to disparate pharmacokinetics and difficulties correlating drug delivery with therapeutic response. In this study, we developed radionuclide-activatable theranostic nanoparticles (NPs) comprising folate receptor-targeted bimetallic organo-nanoparticles (Gd-Ti-FA-TA NPs).

Electronic address:

This study aimed to develop cisplatin (CDDP)-loaded folic acid (FA)-decorated nanoparticles (NPs) as targeted drug carrier towards overexpressed folate receptors on the oral carcinoma cell line (KB cells). The FA-conjugated thiolated succinyl chitosan (FA-SH-SCS) and maleimide-grafted-carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-MAL) were synthesized and acquired in the preparation of NPs via thiol-maleimide click reaction. The physicochemical characteristics, drug loading, and drug release of the FA-decorated NPs (FA-NPs) were examined.

Accurate detection of tumor margins is essential for successful cancer surgery. While indocyanine green (ICG)-based near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence (FL) surgical navigation enhances the visual identification of tumor margins, its accuracy remains subjective, underscoring the need for quantitative approaches. In this study, a high spatiotemporal fluorescence lifetime (FLT) imaging technology is developed in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) for quantitative tumor margin detection, utilizing folate receptor-targeted ICG nanoprobes (FPH-ICG).

Targeted counteracting of overactive macrophages by melittin stable-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles alleviates cytokine storm and acute inflammatory injury.

The continuous activation of macrophages play a critical role in the pathogenesis of cytokine storm (CS). Considering that CS results from the participation of multiple cytokines, the therapeutic effect of a single cytokine or its receptor-targeted blockade therapy remains uncertain. Melittin, which can systematically suppress the overexpression of proinflammatory mediators via inhibiting the mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor kappa-B pathways in activated macrophages, shows great potential in alleviating CS and acute inflammatory injury (AII).

Electronic address:

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a prospective therapeutic method for breast cancer. However, excess inflammatory response induced by PTT may aggravate tumor metastasis. Meanwhile, the overexpressed heat shock proteins (HSPs) by cancer cells can protect them from hyperthermia during PTT.
