Article Abstract
Ultrathin organic nanofibers (UTONFs) have favorable potential as emerging nanomaterials due to their large aspect ratio, lightweight nature, and mechanical flexibility. Achieving dual stimuli-responsive UTONFs is necessary to satisfy the on-demand requirements of smart and miniature devices but remains challenging. Herein, amphiphilic alternating peptoids (AAPs) modified with azobenzene and histamine groups were successfully synthesized using the solid-phase submonomer synthesis technique. Following subsequent solution self-assembly, photo/CO dual-responsive ultrathin peptoid nanofibers (UTPNFs) with a diameter of ∼1.8 nm and a length of up to several micrometers were generated based on the pendant hydrophobic conjugate stacking mechanism. The photoisomerization of azobenzene was accountable for the reversible transformation from UTPNFs to spherical micelles (∼60 nm) under recyclable light irradiation. Owing to the protonation and the resulting electrostatic repulsion interaction, both UTPNFs and spherical micelles displayed a reversible variation in shape and physicochemical properties, including the size, diameter, zeta potential, and pH. Our work offers prospective guidance on the construction of dual-responsive ultrathin organic nanofibers with controllable shape transformation and performance transition.

Endowing dual-responsive ultrathin polymersomes (UTPSs) with reversible stimuli-chromic and fluorochromic performances offers a prospective yet challenging strategy for achieving high-level information encryption and anticounterfeiting. Herein, starting from rational synthesis of visible light/pH-responsive integrated azobenzene monomer, side-chain-type amphiphilic alternating azocopolymers were elaborately crafted using a moderate epoxy-amino click-polycondensation. Followed by subsequent solution self-assembly, dual-responsive UTPSs with a diameter of ∼253 nm and a vesicular thickness of ∼2.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated tumor cell death is a powerful anticancer strategy. Cuproptosis is a copper-dependent and ROS-mediated prospective tumor therapy strategy. However, the complex tumor microenvironment (TME), low tumor specificity, poor therapy efficiency, and lack of imaging capability impair the therapy output of current cuproptosis drugs.

1T-phase niobium telluride (NbTe) nanosheets are becoming increasingly important in emerging fields, such as spintronics, sensors and magneto-optoelectronics, due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. However, exploration on their biomedical applications are limited. Herein, ultrathin 1T-phase NbTe single-crystalline nanosheets with excellent photothermal performance, high drug-loading rate, near-infrared (NIR) light/acidic pH-triggered drug release, and low toxicity were developed for potentiated photothermal therapy.

Small-diameter tissue-engineered vascular grafts (sdTEVGs) with hyperglycemia resistance have not been constructed. The intimal hyperplasia caused by hyperglycemia remains problem to hinder the patency of sdTEVGs. Here, inspired by bionic regulation of nerve on vascular, we found the released neural exosomes could inhibit the abnormal phenotype transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).
