Molecular Engineering of Aptamer Self-Assemblies Increases in Vivo Stability and Targeted Recognition

Fangfang Xia et al.

Summary: Functionally modified aptamer conjugates are promising tools for targeted imaging or treatment of various diseases. However, their broad applications are limited by in vivo instability. To overcome this challenge, a covalent modification-free strategy using gold nanoclusters to enhance the in vivo stability of aptamers has been developed, leading to improved tumor-targeted recognition and retention.

Nanocatalytic Theranostics with Glutathione Depletion and Enhanced Reactive Oxygen Species Generation for Efficient Cancer Therapy

Lian-Hua Fu et al.

Summary: Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a promising method for killing cancer cells by converting intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot). An intelligent nanocatalytic theranostics, PGC-DOX, was developed to address the limitations of endogenous H2O2 and high GSH levels in tumor cells, leading to efficient cancer therapy. The system combines H2O2 self-supply, GSH-elimination, and DOX-induced chemotherapy to effectively inhibit tumor growth with minimal side effects in vivo.
