ABSi-148 is synthesized from 4-(2-Aminoethyl) benzene sulfonamide (ABS), a sulfonamide derivative, conjugating with MHI-148 dye with merits of exceptional NIR-emitting traits, high biocompatibility, and deep tissue penetration imaging capability. It selectively accumulates in CoCl<sub>2</sub>-induced pancreatic stellate cells and pancreatic cancer cells via binding with transmembrane CA IX in vitro. Meanwhile, ABSi-148 effectively visualizes the early pancreatic lesion, and its long-term administration inhibits the progression of hypoxia-related fibrosis involved in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs), and even PDAC progression in vivo. Besides, ABSi-148 monitors treatment efficacy and localizes hypoxic tumor regions, enhancing survival in tamoxifen combined with caerulein-induced KPC mice.

In view of this situation, a dual covalent cross-linking hydrogel (ASO) bioadhesive is developed. The ASO bioadhesive comprised acrylated gelatin(G-AA), thiolated gelatin(G-SH), and oxidized dextran (OD). Introduction of thiol chemistry made the emergence of ASO dual covalent cross-linking controllable by UV light irradiation. The analysis of this feature revealed an intriguing phenomenon. The ASO bioadhesive demonstrated spatially specific control over cross-linking behavior by first penetrating the tissue and then initiating cross-linking, thereby significantly enhancing its long-term wet adhesion ability. The ASO bioadhesive can maintain more than 50% adhesion after being immersed in wet environment for one month. Subsequently, ASO bioadhesive demonstrated long-term wet adhesive stability once again on corneal lamellar transplantation model through maintaining strong anchorage of corneal donor to recipient bed and promoting their integration.

Here, this work reports on the additive manufacturing of a novel breast tissue engineering scaffold with photothermal shape memory and tumor ablation properties to solve the aforementioned issues. Graphene nanosheets (GN) are used to functionalize the surface of 3D-printed polyurethane scaffolds (GfPU) without compromising the biocompatibility of polyurethane. Subsequently, the GfPU scaffolds are remodeled into temporary shapes using established procedures. After exposure to an 808 nm laser, the GfPU scaffolds are heated to 47.1 °C, and they converted from a temporary shape to their original shape in a light intensity-dependent manner. With an accurate structural design, the shape memory scaffold could act as a stimuli-responsive tissue expander in vivo. Meanwhile, the laser-irradiated GfPU could specifically ablate multiple breast cancer cell lines in vitro and suppress both tumor growth and tumor recurrence in vivo.
