This review examines how light-responsive bismuth-based nanomaterials could support CT and photoacoustic imaging, antibacterial therapy, and anticancer treatment. By converting light into heat and reactive oxygen species, these experimental nanoplatforms may enable integrated diagnosis and therapy, although clinical translation still requires stronger biosafety, optical performance, and scalability data.
Researchers developed a Janus nanofiber “bionic cooling skin” that combines solvent-welded PVDF nanofibers with visible light-responsive Fe-ZIF8 metal-organic frameworks for infected wound care.
In preclinical Staphylococcus aureus-infected mouse wounds, the nanofiber dressing improved antibacterial activity, passive cooling, breathability, and wound-healing-associated gene responses.
Lung cancer remains one of the world’s deadliest cancers, yet despite decades of effort to develop new drugs, many fail because they don’t stay in the body long enough to be effective or because they damage healthy organs.
The Perspective highlights quantum dots, spin-polarized materials, topological states, and genetically encoded quantum biomaterials as early building blocks, while emphasizing that stability, biocompatibility, modeling, and in vivo quantum sensing remain major translational barriers.
Engineered nanoparticles can improve cancer immunotherapy by delivering drugs, antigens, and genetic payloads with greater precision while remodeling the tumor microenvironment. The review highlights how nano-immunotherapy could boost immune activation, improve checkpoint-blockade responses, and support more personalized cancer treatment, although safety, scalability, and clinical translation challenges remain.
A new ACS Nano study shows how engineered peptoid nanotubes can deliver nicotinamide into injured brain tissue, restoring energy-related metabolism and reducing inflammatory damage in neonatal brain injury models.
A new nanomedicine strategy enhances irinotecan delivery in pancreatic tumors, reduces resistance, and boosts antitumor immune activity in preclinical models.
This study presents an inulin-butyrate nanogel that effectively delivers butyrate to inflamed colon tissue, improving disease measures in colitis models.
IO@MBD combines ?-Fe2O3 nanoparticles and melamine dendrimers, creating a stable, pH-responsive platform for effective doxorubicin delivery in cancer treatment.
A new study reveals the dual use of a FAP molecule that inhibits fibrosis and facilitates drug delivery, offering insights into treating fibrotic conditions with nano-self-assembly.
