    Anti-lung cancer synergy of low-dose doxorubicin and PD-L1 blocker co-delivered via mild photothermia-responsive black phosphorus

    We have previously identified a latent interaction mechanism between non-small cell lung cancer cells (NSCLCC) and their associated macrophages (TAM) mediated by mutual paracrine activation of the HMGB1/RAGE/N...

    PD-L1 blockade TAM-dependently potentiates mild photothermal therapy against triple-negative breast cancer

    The present work was an endeavor to shed light on how mild photothermia possibly synergizes with immune checkpoint inhibition for tumor therapy. We established mild photothermal heating protocols to generate t...

    A nanoreactor boosts chemodynamic therapy and ferroptosis for synergistic cancer therapy using molecular amplifier dihydroartemisinin

    Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) relying on intracellular iron ions and H2O2 is a promising therapeutic strategy due to its tumor selectivity, which is limited by the not enough metal ions or H2O2 supply of tumor micro...

    Harnessing chlorin e6 loaded by functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles linked with glucose for target photodynamic therapy and improving of the immunogenicity of lung cancer

    Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common malignant lung tumor and is difficult to be eradicated due to its immunosuppressive microenvironment. Chlorin e6 (Ce6)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) ...

    Synergy of nanodiamond–doxorubicin conjugates and PD-L1 blockade effectively turns tumor-associated macrophages against tumor cells

    Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most abundant stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment. Turning the TAMs against their host tumor cells is an intriguing therapeutic strategy particularly attract...

    Abnormal resting-state functional connectivity of hippocampal subfields in patients with major depressive disorder

    Many studies have found that the hippocampus plays a very important role in major depressive disorder (MDD). The hippocampus can be divided into three subfields: the cornu ammonis (CA), dentate gyrus (DG) and ...

    Doxorubicin-polyglycerol-nanodiamond conjugate is a cytostatic agent that evades chemoresistance and reverses cancer-induced immunosuppression in triple-negative breast cancer

    Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the poorest prognosis of all breast cancer subtypes and is one of the most fatal diseases for women. Combining cytotoxic chemotherapy with immunotherapy has shown great...
