The development of stimuli-responsive nanoplatform provides powerful tool for simultaneously enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of cancer therapies. Herein, we develop a pH-programmed responsive and synergistically theranostic nanoplatform based on CaCO mineralized single atom iron nanoparticles (SAF NPs). Basically, the highly active site on SAF NPs nanoagent can trigger in-situ produce toxic •OH in tumor microenvironment (TME) that kill cancer cells for Fenton-reaction-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT). The porous structure of SAF NPs can serve as delivery platforms to package and programmed release chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) to enhance chemotherapy (CT) efficiency. The nanoplatform was simultaneously in-situ mineralized with CaCO and A549 cell membrane (CM) which could avoid DOX leakage during transport in bloodstream and target homologous cancer cells. In addition, overload Ca decomposed from CaCO triggers mitochondrial dysfunction, induces cytoskeleton collapse and oxidative stress to formulate calcium ions interference therapy (CIT). With the combination of CDT, CT and CIT, the designed multi-synergetic nanoplatform exhibits excellent biocompatibility, specificity and tunable drug release behavior, which has a broad application prospect in tumor therapy.

Nanoplastics, in combination with pathogenic microorganisms or toxic substances, have been shown to induce oxidative stress and disrupt energy and lipid metabolism, posing significant health risks. This study evaluated the toxic effects of co-exposure to nanoplastics and Helicobacter pylori on the digestive system of mice. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the accumulation of AuPS-NPs (Au-core polystyrene nanoplastics) in the stomach, colon, and liver, while hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed dose-dependent pathological damage in these tissues.

Nanoplastics are common environmental pollutants. As of now, research has yet to explore how exposure to nanomaterials during gestation might influence the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) in offspring. Throughout the research, we assessed the AD pathology in adult offspring of mice prenatal 80 nm polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) exposure.

Aims: Nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging organic pollutants generated by plastic degradation and are ubiquitous in the environment. They can be accumulated through the food webs and enter the human body through dietary intake, posing health risks. The main target organs of NP accumulation are the lungs, liver, heart, and kidneys.

Accumulation of nanoplastics (NPs) poses a severe threat to the homeostasis of the internal environment in patients with chronic diseases. The effects of NP contamination on health in chronically ill populations must urgently be elucidated. In this study, NPs injected via the tail vein were distributed in the brain and internal organs in a mouse model of chronic internal carotid occlusion.

To investigate the remediation effects of various modified biochar materials derived from different impregnation agents on Cd- and Pb-contaminated calcareous soil, nitrogen (N-), phosphorus (P-), sulfur (S-), and iron (Fe-) modified biochar materials (NBC, PBC, SBC, FBC) were fabricated through the impregnation-pyrolysis method and employed to immobilize Pb and Cd in the calcareous soil. The characterization results showed that NBC exhibited an uneven pore size distribution and increased aromaticity, while PBC and SBC had increased pH and ash content. Pot experiments demonstrated significantly different effects of various modified biochar materials on soil immobilization and plant uptake of Cd and Pb.
