Thus, delivering drugs across the blood-brain barrier is an active research area in immunology, oncology, and neurology; moreover, novel methods are urgently needed to expand therapeutic options for central nervous system pathologies. While previous strategies have focused on small molecules that modulate blood-brain barrier permeability or penetrate the barrier, there is an increased focus on biomedical devices-external or implanted-for improving drug delivery. Here, we review device-assisted drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier, emphasizing its application in glioblastoma, an aggressively malignant primary brain cancer in which the blood-brain barrier plays a central role. We examine the blood-brain barrier and its features in glioblastoma, emerging models for studying the blood-brain barrier, and device-assisted methods for crossing the blood-brain barrier. We conclude by presenting methods to monitor the blood-brain barrier and paradigms for combined cross-BBB drug delivery.","PeriodicalId":10589,"journal":{"name":"Communications Materials","volume":"6 1","pages":"5"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11706785/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142945882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, using high-energy grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction, we demonstrate how in-situ temperature annealing of the infinite-layer nickelate PrNiO2+x (x ≈ 0) induces a giant superlattice structure. The annealing effect has a maximum well above room temperature. By covering a large scattering volume, we show a rare period-six in-plane (bi-axial) symmetry and a period-four symmetry in the out-of-plane direction. This giant unit-cell superstructure-likely stemming from ordering of diffusive oxygen-persists over a large temperature range and can be quenched. As such, the stability and controlled annealing process leading to the formation of this superlattice structure provides a pathway for novel nickelate chemistry.","PeriodicalId":10589,"journal":{"name":"Communications Materials","volume":"6 1","pages":"3"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11703755/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142945884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, ammonium formate (NH4HCO2) is introduced and forms a stable NH4HCO2-PbI2 adduct onto the surface of perovskite to patch grain boundary cracks and passivate interfacial defects. The density functional theory calculation results indicate that there is a strong interface interaction between perovskite and NH4HCO2, and the defects are well anchored by forming Pb··COOH bond and I··NH4 bond. The density of states proves that surface trap states by the I vacancy is also effectively eliminated, which is consistent with the experimental results. As a result, the optimized devices achieve a power conversion efficiency of 24.62% and exhibit remarkable long-term stability in air. This work provides a simple defect multiple passivation strategy to prepare perovskite solar cells with high efficiency and stability.

Fibers pulled near physiological speeds (26.3 mm s-¹) exhibited optimal mechanical properties, with an elastic modulus of 8 ± 1 GPa and toughness of 8 ± 5 MJ m-³, comparable to natural silk. This platform also enables embedding nanoparticles and biologics, offering broad applications in sensors, biocatalysis, and tissue engineering, expanding the potential of silk-based composite materials.

Shifting the Fermi energy closer to the Weyl points may assist in the identification of Weyl Fermion related transport signatures. Here we show that effective chlorine doping has resulted in a shift of the Fermi energy by 15 meV towards the Weyl points, which is confirmed by a combination of the systematic angular-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements and density function theory calculations. A five-fold reduction in resistivity is observed in the ferromagnetic phase, accompanied by a pronounced magnetoresistance of over 150%. The anomalous Hall conductivity shows a peak of 1680 Scm−1 at 40 K, which is 30% higher than the undoped sample due to a stronger Weyl point contribution. This work demonstrates the essential role of doping in Co3Sn2S2 for an enhanced Weyl semimetal signature. Weyl fermions are chiral massless fermions with interesting exotic properties.

These two components are correlated for positive and negative deviations from Richard’s rule – the extra ΔSconfig is consistently  ~ 80% of ΔSvib. Our results, interpreted with potential energy landscape theory, imply a correlation between the change in the number of basins and the change in the inverse of their curvature for the melting of pure elements.
