Suppression of Sepsis Cytokine Storm by Escherichia Coli Cell Wall-Derived Carbon Dots (Adv. Mater. 12/2025)

Abstract

Suppression of Sepsis Cytokine Storm

Escherichia coli can be transformed into therapeutic nanodrugs through high-temperature treatment, alluding to the concept of the ‘phoenix bathing in fire, attaining nirvana, and being reborn, transforming defilement into purity.’ This suggests that drugs for combating infectious diseases can be derived from the transformation of pathogens themselves, offering a versatile and promising approach for drug development with broad potential applications.
