Here, we develop a bispecificimmune-bridging platform (NVMB) to address these limitations. NVMBconsists of tumor cell membrane-derived nanovesicles enriched withdamage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that activate DCs andsupport T-cell responses. The vesicle surface is further functionalizedwith two aptamers targeting DCs and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, respectively,thereby enhancing their spatial proximity and facilitating functionalDC–T cell interactions. This biomimetic design combines colloidalstability with programmable surface functionalization. Mechanistically,NVMB promotes DC–T interactions and enhances activation-associatedphenotypes in both cell populations. In multiple immunocompetent mousetumor models, NVMB suppresses tumor growth, increases intratumoralaccumulation of mature DCs and activated CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells,and reshapes the tumor microenvironment transcriptome toward enhancedantitumor immune responses. Moreover, combination with immune checkpointblockade (ICB) further improves antitumor efficacy compared with eithermonotherapy, supporting the potential of NVMB as a complementary strategyfor enhancing ICB responses. In patient-derived cocultures of circulatingtumor cells (CTCs) and autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs), NVMB enhances T-cell-mediated clearance of CTCs.

However, direct quantification of oxidative stress at the dynamic alveolar-capillary barrier has remained unattainable due to the lack of sensing tools, substantially limiting our understanding of pollutant toxicology and associated pathogenesis. Herein, we develop nanomesh bioelectronics that simultaneously function as a basement membrane analogue and an electrochemical sensor. The bioelectronic interface recapitulates the native basement membrane’s nanofibrous architecture, ultrathin geometry, high permeability, and mechanical properties, while exhibiting stable electrochemical responses to H2O2 under cyclic stretching. When incorporated into lung-on-a-chip, the bioelectronics enable simultaneous reconstruction of the alveolar-capillary barrier and in situ quantification of oxidative stress during respiratory stretching. Using benzo[a]pyrene as a model carcinogenic pollutant, we uncover a biphasic regulatory role of vascular endothelium: an intact endothelium reinforces epithelial resistance to pollutant stimuli, whereas endothelial dysfunction converts protective crosstalk into pathological oxidative amplification. Rat models further confirm that systemic vascular health shapes pulmonary responses to environmental insults.

Here, using bilayer rhombohedral MoS2 as a sliding ferroelectric barrier, we demonstrate room-temperature sliding FTJs with tunneling electroresistance (TER) values exceeding 3.2 × 105. We show that this giant contrast arises from a height–width hybrid tunneling mechanism, in which polarization reversal simultaneously modulates the tunnel barrier height and switches a nanoscale interfacial depletion width, yielding exponential amplification of the tunneling contrast. Spatially resolved tunneling, piezoresponse, and Raman measurements reveal that local strain, rather than ferroelectric domain walls, dominates spatial variations in the TER by modulating the sliding ferroelectric dipole strength, the OFF-state depletion width, and the resulting TER amplification. Finally, planar 3R-MoS2 FTJs further validate this mechanism by exhibiting a TER above 105, a switching energy density of several fJ μm–2, and projected endurance beyond 106. These results provide fundamental insight into the nanoscale electrostatics in sliding ferroelectric-based tunnel junctions while pointing toward low-energy, high-contrast nonvolatile memory applications.","PeriodicalId":21,"journal":{"name":"ACS Nano","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149221617","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}

Thislimits their ability to handle complex phenomena that are difficultto formalize as scalar descriptors. In many situations, the determinationof an appropriate scalar descriptor can be challenging, and may failto capture subtle yet scientifically important phenomena apparentto experts with interdisciplinary insight. This problem is particularlypronounced in nanoscale imaging experiments, where strong local heterogeneity,multidimensional observations, and emergent physical behaviors oftencannot be effectively represented using scalar metrics. To overcomethis limitation, here we develop deep-kernel pairwise learning (DKPL),an approach for autonomous microscopy experiments which incorporateshuman expertise and interdisciplinary scientific knowledge into anactive learning loop. Instead of relying on explicit scalar objectives,DKPL enables experts to directly evaluate which experimental outputis more promising using interdisciplinary knowledge. DKPL then learnsa latent utility function from these expert judgments to guide subsequentautonomous microscopy experiments. We demonstrate DKPL’s performancein learning physically meaningful nanoscale structures in lead titanatethin films while effectively prioritizing high-information measurementregions using an experimental model dataset with known ground truth.We further apply DKPL to analyze the character of ferroelectric domainwalls, where we find DKPL capable of distinguishing between high andlow characteristic domain-wall angles in lead zirconium titanate,and able to discover both head-to-head and tail-to-tail domain-wallcharacter in erbium manganite. Autonomous experiments in mixed-phasebismuth ferrite also demonstrate DKPL’s ability to link materialstructure with their properties in on-the-fly measurements.
