Radiofrequency-Activated Pyroptosis of Bi-Valent Gold Nanocluster for Cancer Immunotherapy

Qingqing Zhang et al.

Summary: Pyroptosis of tumor cells was induced by biGC@PNA with a precisely stoichiometric ratio of Au(I) ion/Au(0) atom through its radiofrequency (RF)-heating effect. The activated pyroptosis resulted in a robust immunogenic cell death (ICD) effect, enhancing the antitumor immune responses and suppressing tumor metastasis and relapse. The noninvasive RF field provides a promising strategy for improving cancer immunotherapy.

Dual-Stage Irradiation of Size-Switchable Albumin Nanocluster for Cascaded Tumor Enhanced Penetration and Photothermal Therapy

Peiying He et al.

Summary: The microenvironment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) reduces the delivery and penetration of therapeutic agents, making it difficult to eliminate cancer cells completely. In this study, a photothermal nanocluster was constructed using a size-shrinkage and ligand modification strategy, allowing for deep penetration and efficient eradication of TNBC cells.

Summary: The long-term and extensive use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, which is a global public health issue. In this study, non-antibiotic small molecule-modified gold nanoclusters were developed as a potential substitute for commercial antibiotics. The modification of 4,6-diamino-2-pyrimidinethiol (DAPT)-modified AuNCs (DAPT-AuNCs) showed promising results in fighting against a broad spectrum of bacterial strains, including multidrug-resistant ones, and could be applied in innovative dressings for wound care.

Au Nanoclusters Ameliorate Shigella Infectious Colitis by Inducing Oxidative Stress

Xiaoxiao Wu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that ultrasmall gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) have bactericidal effects against Shigella and can effectively treat infections. Au NCs interfere with oxidative metabolism genes, increase ROS levels, and disrupt bacterial cell membranes as part of their mechanism of action. In vivo experiments show that Au NCs effectively alleviate intestinal damage caused by Shigella infections.

Zeyang Pang et al.

Summary: In this study, a dual-ligand-functionalised gold nanocluster was developed to combat infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. The gold nanocluster showed effective antibacterial activity against MDR Gram-positive bacteria by inducing bacterial aggregation, disrupting bacterial membrane integrity and potential, and generating reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, combining the gold nanocluster with common antibiotics significantly enhanced its antibacterial activity in both in vitro and animal models of skin infections. This study demonstrates a new strategy using multifunctional gold nanomaterials to address the challenge of MDR bacteria.
