Currently, there are no efficient strategies for tracking and eradicating CSCs. Here we propose a nanovaccine strategy, called NICER, based on a nanovesicle system integrating CSC-specific antigen display and epigenetic nano-regulator encapsulation with a dendritic-cell-targeting aptamer, to simultaneously eradicate CSCs and bulk tumour cells. Specifically, nanovesicles derived from aldehyde-dehydrogenase-overexpressing tumours could serve as integrated antigens carrying both CSC-specific antigen and tumour-associated antigen. Epigenetic nano-regulator targeting YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 1 could restrict dendritic cell lysosomal protease activity to modulate the effective cross-presentation of integrated antigens via major histocompatibility complex class I for immune responses. Overall, NICER represents a broad-spectrum vaccine approach against both CSCs and bulk tumours that can significantly inhibit postoperative cancer recurrence and metastasis, prolonging survival rates. NICER is a broad-spectrum nanovaccine based on a nanovesicle system that can induce an effective immune response via epigenetic regulation to target both cancer stem-like cells and bulk tumour cells to prevent tumour recurrence.","PeriodicalId":18915,"journal":{"name":"Nature nanotechnology","volume":"20 9","pages":"1298-1311"},"PeriodicalIF":34.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144296084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, traditional spatial biology approaches typically require non-living samples, limiting temporal analysis. Here, to address this limitation, we present a workflow using porous silicon nanoneedles to repeatedly collect biomolecules from live brain tissues and map lipid distribution through desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging. This method preserves the integrity of the original tissue while replicating its spatial molecular profile on the nanoneedle substrate, accurately reflecting lipid distribution and tissue morphology. Machine learning analysis of 23 human glioma biopsies demonstrated that nanoneedle sampling enables the precise classification of disease states. Furthermore, a spatiotemporal analysis of mouse gliomas treated with temozolomide revealed time- and treatment-dependent variations in lipid composition. Our approach enables non-destructive spatiotemporal lipidomics, advancing molecular diagnostics for precision medicine. Arrays of silicon nanoneedles are used to generate molecular replicas of live brain tissue for longitudinal spatial lipidomic classification via desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging of gliomas and to monitor the responses of the tumours to chemotherapy.","PeriodicalId":18915,"journal":{"name":"Nature nanotechnology","volume":"20 9","pages":"1262-1272"},"PeriodicalIF":34.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41565-025-01955-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144296081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Achieving high photocatalytic activity often requires harsh reaction conditions, compromising catalyst stability and longevity. Here we propose a strategy involving polymeric stabilization of photocatalytic centres uniquely localized at the gas–liquid interface, substantially enhancing both the catalytic activity and stability. Applied to the photocatalytic conversion of plastic waste into solar hydrogen, this approach maintained its catalytic performance over 2 months under harsh conditions. Using 0.3 wt% dynamically stabilized atomic Pt/TiO2 photocatalysts and concentrated sunlight, we achieved a plastic reforming activity of 271 mmolH2 h−1 m−2. Scaling to 1 m2 under natural sunlight yielded a hydrogen production rate of 0.906 l per day from polyethylene terephthalate waste. Economic analysis and extensive-scale simulations suggest this strategy as a promising pathway for high-performance, durable photocatalysis, advancing renewable energy conversion.

However, atomic-scale manipulation and control of such phases remains elusive. Here we observe the emergent superconductivity and a primary pair density wave at the 2 × 2 Cs reconstructed surface of CsV3Sb5 by means of low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy/spectroscopy paired with density functional theory calculations. This quasi-two-dimensional kagome superconducting state with a critical temperature of ~5.4 K is intertwined with the bulk CDW order and exhibits a unique vortex core spectrum and a 4 × 4 pair density wave modulation of the superconducting gap. The emergent phenomena happen at a π-phase-shift dislocation in the periodicity of the CDW along the stacking direction if the 2 × 2 Cs superstructures are out of phase with the bulk CDW. Furthermore, we switched on and off the quasi-two-dimensional superconductivity through tip-assisted atomic manipulation of the 2 × 2 Cs superstructure. Thus, control of the surface reconstruction permits the creation, manipulation and control of quantum many-body states at antiphase boundaries in kagome lattice superconductors and, potentially, in other correlated materials. Scanning tunnelling microscopy experiments uncover a primary pair density wave at the reconstructed surface of the kagome metal CsV3Sb5, and tip-assisted, atomically precise manipulation of the reconstruction provides control over the emergent quasi-two-dimensional superconductivity.","PeriodicalId":18915,"journal":{"name":"Nature nanotechnology","volume":"20 8","pages":"1017-1025"},"PeriodicalIF":34.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144252771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of S adopts two conformations: open and closed, respectively accessible and inaccessible to ACE2. Although these changes surely affect ACE2 binding, a quantitative description of the underlying mechanisms has remained elusive. Here we visualize RBD opening and closing using high-speed atomic force microscopy, gaining access to the corresponding transition rates. We also probe the S/ACE2 interaction at the ensemble level with biolayer interferometry and at the single-molecule level with atomic force microscopy and magnetic tweezers, evidencing that RBD dynamics hinder ACE2 binding but have no effect on unbinding. The resulting modulation is quantitatively predicted by a conformational selection model in which each S protomer behaves independently. Our work thus reveals a molecular mechanism by which RBD accessibility and binding strength can be tuned separately, providing hints to better understand the joint evolution of immune evasion and infectivity. This work uses single-molecule techniques to show that conformational changes of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 modulate binding to its human receptor. The study provides key insights into the molecular mechanisms of virus infection and immune evasion.","PeriodicalId":18915,"journal":{"name":"Nature nanotechnology","volume":"20 7","pages":"926-934"},"PeriodicalIF":34.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144252772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
