Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer with a high propensity for invasion and a high incidence of lymph node metastasis. Systemic chemotherapy is considered the primary treatment for patients with TNBC; however, immune checkpoint inhibitors in addition to chemotherapy have been associated with better outcomes. Sintilimab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, was developed in China. Herein, the authors report a 49-year-old woman diagnosed with TNBC with extensive lung and sternal metastases. Treatment with sintilimab plus paclitaxel and carboplatin was found highly effective after failure of first-line chemotherapy. This combinational therapy can be considered for the treatment of TNBC after necessary investigations and clinical trials.

Changes in the density and organization of fibrous biological tissues often accompany the progression of serious diseases ranging from fibrosis to neurodegenerative diseases, heart disease and cancer. However, challenges in cost, complexity, or precision faced by existing imaging methodologies and materials pose barriers to elucidating the role of tissue microstructure in disease. Here, we leverage the intrinsic optical anisotropy of the Morpho butterfly wing and introduce Morpho-Enhanced Polarized Light Microscopy (MorE-PoL), a stain- and contact-free imaging platform that enhances and quantifies the birefringent material properties of fibrous biological tissues.

Cell membrane targeting sonodynamic therapy could induce the accumulation of lipid peroxidation (LPO), drive ferroptosis, and further enhances immunogenic cell death (ICD) effects. However, ferroptosis is restrained by the ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) at the plasma membrane, which can catalyze the regeneration of ubiquinone (CoQ10) by using NAD(P)H to suppress the LPO accumulation. This work describes the construction of US-active nanoparticles (TiF NPs), which combinate cell-membrane targeting sonosensitizer TBT-CQi with FSP1 inhibitor (iFSP1), facilitating cell-membrane targeting sonodynamic-triggered ferroptosis.
