TCPH NPs are featured by intrinsic functions including efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, good photothermal conversion, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-eliminating capability, and effective intracellular transport. The generated ROS and hyperthermia do not only achieve primary tumor elimination but also regulate the tumor immune microenvironment. Genomic disruption of PD-L1 conspicuously augments its therapeutic efficacy, especially in tumor metastasis and recurrence. Exceptional multimodal imaging navigation has also been developed.

Considering the antibiotic abuse and resistance of bacterial biofilms, a variety of metal-based materials have been developed. However, due to the high oxygen environment of the lungs, some aerobic infection bacteria have high tolerance to oxygen and ROS, and most of the metal-based materials based on ROS may not achieve good therapeutic effects. Inspired by the sensitivity of cuproptosis to aerobic respiratory cells, we designed a copper composite antibacterial nanoparticle and found that it can effectively induce cuproptosis-like death in the aerobic bacteria of the lungs. To address the challenge of <i>in vivo</i> application of cuproptosis, manganese dioxide was first incorporated to deplete protective glutathione, which can interact with copper and thus hinder the interaction of copper with proteins and assist in antibacterial action through immune enhancement. Cuproptosis-like death also requires a large number of copper ions. To meet this demand, we deliver positively hydrophilic modified composite nanoparticles that effectively penetrate the lung mucus layer directly to the lungs through local administration, and the copper ions are further released rapidly by the acidic environment at the infected site, which can further destroy bacterial biofilms in synergy with manganese.

We developed hollow silicon nanoparticles to load nitrosylated N-acetylcysteine, producing HMSN-SNO, which effectively protects NO from external interferences. Utilizing low-intensity ultrasound stimulation with bone penetration, we achieve the controlled release of NO from HMSN-SNO within the cochlea. In mice with NIHL, a rapid and extensive loss of synaptic connections between hair cells and SGNs is observed within 24 h after exposure to excessive noise. However, this loss could be reversed with the combined treatment, resulting in a hearing functional recovery from 83.57 to 65.00 dB SPL. This positive outcome is attributed to the multifunctional effects of HMSN-SNO, wherein they scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) to reverse the pathological microenvironment and simultaneously upregulate the CREB/BDNF/EGR1 signaling pathway, thereby enhancing neuroplasticity and promoting the regeneration of neuronal axons.

In this study, we present an innovative approach for the synthesis of macro-chiral liquid crystal quantum dots (Ch-QDs/LC) and their CPL performance enhancement through doping with 4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl (5CB), thus yielding a CPL-emitting generator (CEG).
