Controlling the Interaction between Fluorescent Gold Nanoclusters and Biointerfaces for Rapid Discrimination of Fungal Pathogens

Yujie Cong et al.

Summary: In this work, fluorescent gold nanoclusters were used to discriminate Candida species nondestructively through the interaction between the surface ligands of gold nanoclusters and the cell walls of the species. The variation of cell wall composition leads to different degrees of association with the gold nanoclusters, enabling the identification of Candida species through fluorescence enhancement.

Selenopeptide Nanomedicine Activates Natural Killer Cells for Enhanced Tumor Chemoimmunotherapy

Ziyu Wei et al.

Summary: Nanotechnology-based chemoimmunotherapy has shown great potential for cancer treatment, but uncontrolled transportation and synergistic responses remain challenges. In this study, a self-assembled selenopeptide nanoparticle is developed to enhance tumor chemoimmunotherapy by activating natural killer (NK) cells through the oxidative metabolite of the selenopeptide. By leveraging the advantages of size reduction and deselenization driven by reactive oxygen species, this selenopeptide can deliver therapeutics, such as doxorubicin (DOX), to solid tumors and programmatically activate NK cells. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrate the synergistic effect between DOX-induced chemotherapy and selenopeptide-induced immunotherapy, leading to improved antitumor efficacy. The selenopeptide holds promise as a stimuli-responsive immune modulator for versatile biomedical applications.

Quantitative Comparison of the Light-to-Heat Conversion Efficiency in Nanomaterials Suitable for Photothermal Therapy

Agnieszka Pasciak et al.

Summary: Functional colloidal nanoparticles capable of converting between various energy types are widely used in applications such as cancer therapy. This study evaluated the light-to-heat conversion properties of 17 different nanoheaters and ranked them qualitatively. The results showed that considering only the light-to-heat conversion efficiency is not enough, and the absorption coefficient should also be taken into account.

Atomically Precise Au42 Nanorods with Longitudinal Excitons for an Intense Photothermal Effect

Yingwei Li et al.

Summary: This study reports a metal-precise rod-shaped Au42(SCH2Ph)32 with a high aspect ratio of the hexagonal-close-packed Au20 kernel, which exhibits intense longitudinal absorption and effective photothermal conversion at low concentrations. The findings demonstrate that Au42 nanorods inherit the longitudinal excitation similar to metallic-state nanorods. This work highlights the potential applications of Au42 nanorods in photothermal converters, biomedical therapy, photoacoustic imaging, and photocatalysis.

Breaking the nanoparticle's dispersible limit via rotatable surface ligands

Yue Liu et al.

Summary: The authors achieved versatile dispersion of nanoparticles in a broad range of solvents by electrochemically anchoring surface ligands that can sense and adapt to the surrounding liquid medium. This enables the formation of stable dispersions and overcomes the low throughput limitation of conventional electrodeposition methods. The smart nanoparticles exhibit high antibacterial activity and offer great application opportunities in diverse fields.
