Article Abstract
Non-precious-metal based electrocatalysts with highly-exposed and well-dispersed active sites are crucially needed to achieve superior electrocatalytic performance for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) toward zinc-air battery (ZAB). Herein, Co-CoO heterostructures derived from nanosized ZIF-67 are densely-exposed and strongly-immobilized onto N-doped porous carbon foam (NPCF) through a self-sacrificial pyrolysis strategy. Benefited from the high exposure of Co-CoO heterostructures and the favorable mass and electron transfer ability of NPCF, the Co-CoO/NPCF electrocatalyst exhibits remarkable performance for both ORR (E = 0.843 V vs RHE) and OER (E = 1.586 V vs RHE). Further application of Co-CoO/NPCF as the air-cathode in rechargeable ZAB achieves superior performance for liquid-state ZAB (214.1 mW cm and 600 cycles) and flexible all-solid-state ZAB (93.1 mW cm and 140 cycles). Results from DFT calculations demonstrate that the electronic metal-support interactions between Co-CoO and NPCF via abundant C-N sites is favorable for electronic structure modulation, accounting for the remarkable performance.

Gastric cancer (GC) represents a prevalent malignancy globally, often diagnosed at advanced stages owing to subtle early symptoms, resulting in a poor prognosis. Exosomes are extracellular nano-sized vesicles and are secreted by various cells. Mounting evidence indicates that exosomes contain a wide range of molecules, such as DNA, RNA, lipids, and proteins, and play crucial roles in multiple cancers including GC.

Article Synopsis
- Aging leads to loss of muscle mass and function, resulting in poorer health outcomes, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality risk among older adults.
- Small extracellular vesicles (sEV), which can be isolated from body fluids and contain specific biomarkers, offer a minimally invasive way to assess muscle health.
- Research on vervet monkeys showed that sEV from different age groups can reveal molecular changes related to muscle metabolism and regulation, suggesting they may serve as effective biomarkers for muscle health monitoring.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease triggered by oral bacterial infection, with the bacterium being a major causative agent. The association between periodontitis and various systemic diseases has been demonstrated. Recent research has also highlighted the relationship between the aggravation of maternal periodontitis and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth and low birth weight.

This investigation demonstrates the development and functionality of cell membrane-cloaked UiO-67 nanosized metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs), which are engineered for precise intracellular delivery of encapsulated cargoes. Utilizing the robust and porous nature of UiO-67, we enveloped these NMOFs with fusogenic cell membrane-derived nanovesicles (FCSMs) sourced from adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial (A549) cells. This biomimetic coating enhances biocompatibility and leverages the homotypic targeting capabilities of the cell-derived coatings, facilitating direct cytoplasmic delivery and avoiding endolysosomal entrapment.
