It was found that HIFU facilitating efficient delivery of erythrocyte-hijacking OVs to solid tumors and enhancing the penetration of OVs in tumors. Remarkably, HIFU enhanced the oncolytic effect of OVs not only by suppressing the host cell’s ability of virus clearance through downregulating the IFN signaling pathway, but also by enhancing OV replication within tumor cells through upregulating the expression of the oncogene RAS, inducing DNA damage, and promoting OVs-induced autophagy. More importantly, HIFU augmented OVs-mediated anti-tumor immune responses <em>in vivo</em>, leading to remodeling of the tumor microenvironment, resulting in nearly complete tumor regression (97.6 %) within 15 days and 80 % tumor-free status sustained for 120 days.

Herein, a novel paradigm of zinc-manganese oxide nanoparticles (ZMONPs) is rationally engineered, which can cooperate in promoting ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS)-mediated AR degradation and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signaling pathway activation, thereby generating a tumoricidal immune microenvironment to elicit PCa cell death. Upon lysosomal acidolysis, ZMONPs promote zinc ions overload to produce more reactive oxygen species (ROS), which ultimately contribute to UPS-mediated AR degradation and tumoricidal effect. In PCa mouse models, ZMONPs significantly down-regulate the abundance of AR within the tumor microenvironment, further facilitating cGAS-STING signaling pathway activation to secrete C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) and interferon beta (IFN-β), which enhance dendritic cells (DCs) maturation and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) infiltration, thus realizing tumor growth inhibition in a cooperative manner. In addition, co-administration of ZMONPs and docetaxel presents notably synergistic therapeutic efficacy.

Here, we report a synergistic thermophoresis-anchoring strategy to prepare uniformly dispersed and size-controllable non-metal SiO<sub>x</sub> catalysts for the growth of horizontal SWNT arrays. The pyrolysis of silicon-based precursors generates an abundant supply of SiO<sub>x</sub> particles, which are deposited bottom-up onto the quartz substrate due to the thermal buoyancy induced by a rapid temperature increase. Meanwhile, Surface reconstruction promoted by mechanical force creates numerous anchoring sites on the quartz substrate. This facilitates the capture of catalysts and suppresses their migration and aggregation, thereby promoting the uniform deposition of small-sized catalysts. Consequently, SWNT arrays with a density of 9 tubes per micron are synthesized using these nonmetal SiO<sub>x</sub> catalysts. Importantly, Raman spectroscopy and electrical characterization reveal a semiconductor ratio of up to 94 % for the directly grown SWNT arrays, which is attributed to an in situ etching mechanism within the confined space.
