Article Abstract
B lymphoblastic leukemia (B-LL) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell neoplasm derived from B-cell progenitors, which mainly occurs in children and adolescents and is one of the main causes of death from malignant tumors in this population. The surface marker CD19 is specifically expressed on the membrane of most malignant B-cells, which is widely used as a marker of B-LL antigen-specific immunotherapy. In this study, mesoporous titanium dioxide nanoparticles (MTNs)-based antibody drug delivery system was designed for B-LL treatment. Anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody was conjugated to PEGylated MTNs, and doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded in the nanoparticle. The CD19-PEG-MTN/DOX nanoparticle could recognize CD19B-LL cell lines and induced them apoptosis, but nontoxic for the normal cells. Further, after treated with CD19-PEG-MTN/DOX nanoparticle, pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Caspase-3 in KOPN 8 and NALM-6 cells were significantly upregulated, but anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl2, MCL-1, HSP 70, and BAG 3 were downregulated, which indicated the activation of the apoptosis pathway by the nanodrug. By contrast, CD19-PEG-MTN/DOX didn't play a part on CD19cell line U937. Besides, the cytotoxicity of CD19-PEG-MTN/DOX was low with good biocompatibility. Collectively, CD19-PEG-MTN/DOX is a promising antitumor nanodrug for the treatment of B-LL.

This study reports the synthesis of TiO nanoparticles, their functionalization with folic acid (FA), and the subsequent loading with zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) to develop photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) targeting glioma cells. TiO, TiO-FA, and TiO-FA-ZnPc nanoparticles were synthesized via a sol-gel process involving the hydrolysis and condensation of titanium (IV) isopropoxide. FA and ZnPc were incorporated in vitro during the synthesis.

A new approach to the synthesis of a nanosized and hierarchical titanosilicate, TS-1, is presented. Instead of using specific solid or additional mesoporous templates or individual additives to slow down the hydrolysis of titanium alkoxides, it is proposed that the titanosilicate TS-1 can be obtained from gels synthesized with hydrolysis catalysts (HNO and tetrapropylammonium hydroxide). When nitric acid catalyzes tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) hydrolysis, the resulting crystalline TS-1 that can be obtained has uniform particle sizes (150-180 nm), is anatase-free, and contains up to 46-67% of mesopores.

Carbon-based mesoscopic perovskite solar cells (C-MPSCs) have attracted widespread attention owing to the advantages of printable fabrication and excellent stability. However, the nonradiative recombination loss at buried interfaces hinders further efficiency improvements of C-MPSCs. In the study, urea phosphate derivative is utilized as a modifier for the buried interfaces of C-MPSCs.

As a broad-spectrum antibiotic, excessive use of oxytetracycline (OTC) could raise significant concerns to both human health and ecological environment. Cesium lead bromide perovskite nanocrystals (CsPbBr NCs), known for their luminescent properties, are an effective candidate for chemical sensing. Nevertheless, their limited stability restricts their application in polar solvents.
