Lacking blood vessels is one of the main characteristics of most solid tumors due to their rapid and unrestricted growth, which thus causes the inefficient delivery efficiency of nanomedicine and tumor hypoxia. Herein, a dual "unlocking" strategy to overcome these obstacles is proposed by combining engineered hybrid nanoparticles (named ZnPc@FOM-Pt) with dexamethasone (DXM). It is verified that pretreatment of tumors with DXM can increase intratumorally micro-vessel density (delivery "unlocking") to enhance the tumor delivery efficiency of ZnPc@FOM-Pt and decrease HIF-1α expression. Correspondingly, more Pt can catalyze tumor-overexpressed H O to produce oxygen to further cause hypoxia "unlocking," ultimately achieving boosted ZnPc-based photodynamic therapy in vivo (tumor inhibition rate: 99.1%). Moreover, the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment is efficiently reversed and the therapeutic effect of anti-PD-L1-based immunotherapy is promoted by this newly designed nanomedicine. This dual "unlocking" strategy provides an innovative paradigm on simultaneously enhancing nanomedicine delivery efficacy and hypoxia relief for tumor therapy.

Neuroinflammation plays a dual role in prion diseases, contributing both to the clearance of misfolded scrapie-like prion protein and to neuropathology through chronic activation of inflammatory pathways. Key mechanisms, including M-CSF/CSF1R signaling, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and the Galectin-3/TREM2 axis, etc., highlight the complexity of targeting neuroinflammation for therapeutic intervention.

Background: Tumour-infiltrating T cells can mediate both antitumour immunity and promote tumour progression by creating an immunosuppressive environment. This dual role is especially relevant in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), characterised by a unique microenvironment and limited success with current immunotherapy.
Objective: We evaluated T cell responses in patients with advanced HCC by analysing tumours, liver flushes and liver-draining lymph nodes, to understand whether reactive T cell populations could be identified despite the immunosuppressive environment.

A dual-mode detection platform utilizing colorimetric and Raman was developed based on the exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) strategy and a "core-satellite" structure constructed by bimetallic nanozymes to detect chloramphenicol (CAP). Initially, DNA-gated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) incorporating cascaded amplification were used to be nanocarriers for the colorimetric and Raman reporter molecules (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbiphenyl; TMB). Subsequently, assembled DNA served as gatekeepers to create a stimulus-responsive DNA-gated MOF (TMB@DNA/MOF).
