The generality of this method is exemplified by the facile synthesis of over forty poly‐substituted olefins. Importantly, the luminescent properties of these AIEgens (e.g., quantum yield and emission color) can be easily tuned by adjusting the substituents of the electrophile and nucleophile substrates, exhibiting excellent performance in bio‐imaging.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for precise RT techniques that can optimize tumor control while minimizing adverse effects on surrounding healthy tissues. In this study, we developed a nanodrug (AuNR@Peptide) composed of furin‐responsive RVRR peptide‐conjugated AuNRs, which integrates an activatable probe and a radiosensitizer into a single system for accurate tumor localization, enabling image‐guided precision RT. Upon reaching the tumor site after intravenous administration, proteolytic cleavage of RVRR substrates on AuNR@Peptide by biomarker triggers aggregation of gold nanorods (AuNRs) into larger aggregates, leading to activation of near‐infrared (NIR)‐II photoacoustic (PA) signals to precisely localize the tumor and enhance tumor retention by preventing migration and backflow of AuNRs. This significantly amplifies radiosensitivity efficiency. The peak time point at which the NIR‐II PA signal was observed at the tumor site after injection serves as a reference for initiating RT, demonstrating substantial improvement in tumor RT through investigations related to radiosensitization mechanisms. The integration of imaging and therapy in this study offers a promising image‐guided therapeutic modality for tumors.","PeriodicalId":501414,"journal":{"name":"Aggregate","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the fluorescent nanomaterial immobilization on nitrocellulose (NC) membrane commonly requires tedious chemical modification and only a few combinations of fluorescence donor and quencher have been applied in FONLFA. In this work, bright fluorescent metal nanoclusters (Prot‐AuNCs) were prepared and self‐assembled into Prot‐AuNCs/antigen aggregates with three typical small molecule antigens, respectively. The aggregates can be readily immobilized on the surface of the NC membrane, indicating that this strip fabrication strategy has good versatility. Moreover, we evaluated the performances of this FONLFA platform by using carbendazim as a model target and investigated four typical nanomaterials as colorimetric nanoprobes and fluorescence quenchers. We found that all the nanoprobes demonstrated significantly improved naked eye detection sensitivity (vLOD) and limits of detection (LODs) in quantitative analysis. Among them, combing the Fe‐polydopamine nanoparticles as quencher with the above aggregates, the FONLFA in signal “turn‐on” mode achieved 200‐fold improved vLOD (0.05 ng mL<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>) compared with conventional colorimetric AuNPs‐based lateral flow immunoassay (AuNPs‐LFA) (10 ng mL<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>).

However, the destruction of π–π stacking and the subsequent disassembly of SNDs under tumor microenvironment (TME), which is the precondition for drug release, have not been clearly described. In this work, based on a disassembly model of π–π stacked naphthoquinone SNDs, the influence of co-assembled drugs on disassembly is delineated. Both the experimental observation and computational simulation indicate that the disassembly of SNDs under simulated TME highly depends on the disassembly activation energy (<i>ΔE</i><sub>dis</sub>) of neighboring π–π stacked molecules. Owing to the high <i>ΔE</i><sub>dis</sub>, the disassembly of self-assembled naphthoquinone SNDs is greatly restricted. Meaningfully, the <i>ΔE</i><sub>dis</sub> is the sum of a series of activation energy according to the specific stimuli of TME. Thus, a concept of stimuli-responsive drug-mates is proposed for boosting the disassembly of π–π stacked SNDs, namely the foremost co-assembly of π-conjugated drugs with additional drug molecules that possess relatively weak π–π interaction but high TME responsiveness. Further computational simulation reveals that the introduction of stimuli-responsive drug-mates significantly lowers the <i>ΔE</i><sub>dis</sub>, thus accelerating the disassembly of SNDs and the release of drug payloads. Holding the advantages of π-conjugated drug library, the concept of stimuli-responsive drug-mates gives an extensive design of π–π stacked SNDs toward heterogeneous nidus microenvironment responsiveness, which highlights the superiority of widely used drug co-assembly strategy in constructing multifunctional SNDs.","PeriodicalId":501414,"journal":{"name":"Aggregate","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we employ the cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag), an efficient method for mapping protein–DNA interactions, to identify the binding sites in the chromatin of MCF‐7 cells. Subsequently, we use the auxin‐inducible degron (AID) protein degradation system and improved nascent RNA sequencing method acrylonitrile‐mediated uridine‐to‐cytidine conversion sequencing (AMUC‐seq) to pinpoint genes directly regulated by DHX36. Our results reveal a significant enrichment of G4 structures at DHX36 target sites, predominantly located in active genomic regions.

However, it is unclear why there is an enhanced dilution effect in partially miscible blends rather than fully miscible blends, as intuition would suggest that better miscibility leads to better dilution. In this work, we propose a cascade analysis by combining multiple fluorescence microscopic techniques and all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to study the solid-to-solid dilution of poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) in MEH-PPV/polystyrene (PS) blends and MEH-PPV/poly(vinylcarbazole) (PVK) blends. By varying the molecular weights of PS and PVK, we can regulate their miscibility with MEH-PPV. The results corroborate that the dilution effect is enhanced in partially miscible blends rather than fully miscible ones. This is because, in partially miscible blends undergoing phase separation, the concentration of MEH-PPV is notably decreased in the phase occupying the majority of the volume, leading to an overall greater dilution effect than in fully miscible blends. Moreover, MEH-PPV could adopt the more extended conformation in the fully miscible blend, causing a shorter intermolecular distance to further undermine the dilution effect. These findings explain the seemingly counterintuitive more effective dilution effect observed in the recently reported partially miscible blends and provide guidance for further enhancing the performance of future generations of polymer light-emitting diodes.","PeriodicalId":501414,"journal":{"name":"Aggregate","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is ideal for the development of environment‐friendly sustainable bioplastics.

This study proposes a nanoconfined assembly strategy to produce humidity‐adaptive, mechanically robust, and recyclable bioplastic film. The strong hydrogen bonds between PVA and cellulose nanofibrils inhibit the penetration of water molecules into the film to promote humidity resistance. Further, the robust coordination interactions between bentonite nanoplates, PVA, and cellulose nanofibrils restrict the slip of polymer chains during deformation, leading to enhanced mechanical properties.
