Most cancer immunotherapies focus on stimulating T-cell-mediated immunity by driving the cancer-immunity cycle, which includes tumor antigen release, antigen presentation, T cell activation, infiltration, and tumor cell killing. However, metabolism reprogramming in the tumor microenvironment (TME) supports the viability of cancer cells and inhibits the function of immune cells within this cycle, presenting clinical challenges. The distinct metabolic needs of tumor cells and immune cells require precise and selective metabolic interventions to maximize therapeutic outcomes while minimizing adverse effects. Recent advances in nanotherapeutics offer a promising approach to target tumor metabolism reprogramming and enhance the cancer-immunity cycle through tailored metabolic modulation. In this review, we explore cutting-edge nanomaterial strategies for modulating tumor metabolism to improve therapeutic outcomes. We review the design principles of nanoplatforms for immunometabolic modulation, key metabolic pathways and their regulation, recent advances in targeting these pathways for the cancer-immunity cycle enhancement, and future prospects for next-generation metabolic nanomodulators in cancer immunotherapy.

Although conventional therapies have drawbacks, such as side effects, low efficacy, and weak targeting, they have been applied extensively due to a lack of effective alternatives. The emergence of nanotechnology in medicine has opened up new possibilities and offered promising solutions for cancer therapy. In recent years, 2D nanomaterials have attracted enormous attention in nanomedicine due to their large surface-to-volume ratio, photo-responsivity, excellent electrical conductivity, <em>etc.</em> Among them, black phosphorus (BP) is a 2D nanomaterial consisting of multiple layers weakly bonded together through van der Waals forces. Its distinct structure makes BP suitable for biomedical applications, such as drug/gene carriers, PTT/PDT, and imaging agents. BP has demonstrated remarkable potential since its introduction in cancer therapy in 2015, particularly due to its selective anticancer activity even without the aid of near-infrared (NIR) or anticancer drugs. The present review makes efforts to cover and discuss studies published on the anticancer activity of BP. Based on the type of cancer, the subcategories are organized to shed light on the potential of BP nanosheets and BP quantum dots (BPQDs) against breast, brain, skin, prostate, and bone cancers, and a section is devoted to other cancer types. Since extensive attention has been paid to breast cancer cells and <em>in vivo</em> models, various subsections, including mono-, dual, and triple therapeutic approaches are established for this cancer type. Furthermore, the review outlines various synthesis approaches employed to produce BP nanomaterials, providing insights into key synthesis parameters. This review provides an up-to-date platform for the potential reader to understand what has been done about BP cancer therapy based on each disease, and the conclusions and outlook cover the directions in which this approach is going to proceed in the future.","PeriodicalId":68,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Society Reviews","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":46.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142758252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These thermophysical properties, such as the free energy or the enthalpy, are typically derived from density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Enthalpies are species-interdependent properties that are only meaningful when referenced to other species. The widespread use of DFT has led to a proliferation of new energetic data in the literature and databases. However, there is a lack of consistency in how DFT data is referenced and how the associated enthalpies or free energies are stored and reported, leading to challenges in reproducing or utilizing the results of prior work. Additionally, DFT suffers from exchange–correlation errors that often require corrections to align the data with other global thermochemical networks, which are not always clearly documented or explained. In this review, we introduce a set of consistent terminology and definitions, review existing approaches, and unify the techniques using the framework of linear algebra. This set of terminology and tools facilitates the correction and alignment of energies between different data formats and sources, promoting the sharing and reuse of <em>ab initio</em> data. Standardization of thermochemistry concepts in computational heterogeneous catalysis reduces computational cost and enhances fundamental understanding of catalytic processes, which will accelerate the computational design of optimally performing catalysts.","PeriodicalId":68,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Society Reviews","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":46.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142742541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mimicking the structure and the composition of native tubular tissues to elaborate functional grafts is expected to outperform the materials currently in use, but remains one of the most challenging goals in the field of biomaterials. Despite their apparent diversity, tubular tissues share extensive compositional and structural features. Here, we assess the current state of the art through a dual layer model, reducing each tissue to an inner epithelial layer and an outer muscular layer. Based on this model, we examine the current strategies developed to mimic each layer and we underline how each fabrication method stands in providing a biomimetic material for future clinical translation.

The extended voltage range of non-aqueous media, exceeding 2 V, facilitates the establishment of high-energy storage systems. Additionally, considering the higher cost of non-aqueous solvents compared to water, the objective in developing non-aqueous electrolyte solution-based organic RFBs (NRFBs) is to efficiently install these systems in a compact manner and explore unique applications distinct from those associated with aqueous RFBs, which are typically deployed for grid-scale energy storage systems.
