Nanomedicine-driven ferroptosis has emerged as a promising tumor treatment strategy through delivering exogenous iron and aggravating the lethal accumulation of lipid peroxides (LPO). However, the compensatory mechanisms of ferroptosis defense systems in cancer cells compromise the therapeutic efficacy and lead to potential side effects. Herein, a highly effective ferroptotic nano-amplifier is designed to synergistically promote ferroptosis via increasing intracellular labile iron, exacerbating lipid peroxidation and overcoming the defense system.

Microgels are versatile materials with applications across biomedicine, materials science, and beyond. Their controllable size and composition enables tailoring specific properties, yet characterizing their internal structures on the nanoscale remains challenging. Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) effectively analyzes sub-μm structures, including microgels, offering a tool for investigating more complex systems such as core-shell microgels.

Self-healing optically transparent polyimides have potential applications in optoelectronic device fabrication. In this study, for the first time, we successfully prepared a novel self-healing polyimide film containing reversible disulfide bonds through chemical imidization by introducing cystamine as a self-healing functional monomer into the molecular structure of conventional polyimides. The incorporation of cystamine enabled the films to maintain high transmittance (>87%) and tensile strength (>99 MPa).

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an acidic mucopolysaccharide of animal origin composed of repeating disaccharide units of N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. Due to its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and selective affinity for CD44 receptors on cell surfaces, HA is widely employed as a drug carrier. In our study, we aimed to target subcellular bacteria by grafting cystamine onto HA scaffolds through an amide reaction, producing a linker responsive to HS and pH changes.

Degradable chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DCMSN) are synthesized for selective loading and controlled release of S-naproxen (S-NPX). Chiral silane coupling agent (APTES-L) and degradable silane coupling agent (APTES-CN) are synthesized, respectively, which are used for the synthesis of DCMSN. APTES-L endows the DCMSN with chirality, while APTES-CN endows the DCMSN with degradability.
