To achieve better therapeutic outcomes in cancer treatment, the combination of radionuclide and chemotherapy is commonly employed in clinical practice. However, the primary challenge lies in achieving precise drug delivery to tumor tissues, often leading to suboptimal therapeutic efficacy. This study presents a novel, tumor microenvironment-responsive drug delivery carrier that integrates real-time MRI/SPECT dual-modal imaging for precise diagnosis and treatment monitoring. The carrier comprised is based on a hybrid structure composed of hyaluronic acid (HA) and human serum albumin (HSA), encapsulating the metal-organic framework MIL-100(Fe). It was loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) and modified with the radionuclide I, designed to precise diagnosis and treatment of tumors. HA binds specifically to the overexpressed CD44 receptor on the tumor surface, ensuring that the carrier targets tumors selectively. The incorporated I emits β rays, which deliver ionizing radiation to eradicate tumor cells. Concurrently, the carrier could release DOX in response to the tumor microenvironment, inhibiting DNA synthesis and sensitizing the tumor cells to radiation. This combined approach results in synchronous radionuclide therapy (RNT) and chemotherapy, maximizing therapeutic impact. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the carrier exhibited favorable biocompatibility, stable radionuclide labeling, tumor-specific accumulation, and controlled release of DOX within the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, MRI/SPECT dual-modal imaging enabled real-time tumor localization and monitoring of the carrier in vivo biodistribution. Experimental outcomes confirmed that this innovative carrier, combining RNT and chemotherapy, significantly inhibited tumor growth. This strategy offers a promising approach for precision radio-chemotherapy guided by dual-modal imaging, providing valuable insights for integrated targeted diagnosis and treatment of tumors.

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is the most aggressive form of thyroid malignancy and currently lacks effective treatment options. While anti-PD1 therapy has shown remarkable clinical results in some cases, only a subset of ATC patients responds to it. Eganelisib (IPI549), a highly selective PI3Kγ inhibitor, can alleviate the tumor immunosuppressive state by reducing the proportion of M2-like tumor associated macrophages, partially overcoming patient resistance to anti-PD1 therapy and synergizing with its efficacy.

Aims: Cardiac tumors are aggressive and asymptomatic in early stages, causing late diagnosis and locoregional metastasis. Currently, the standard of care uses gadolinium-based contrast agents for MRI, and the associated hypersensitivity reactions are a significant concern, such as gadolinium deposition disease. In addition, the proximity of cardiac lesions closer to vital structures complicates surgical interventions.

3D shape defect detection plays an important role in autonomous industrial inspection. However, accurate detection of anomalies remains challenging due to the complexity of multimodal sensor data, especially when both color and structural information are required. In this work, we propose a lightweight inter-modality feature prediction framework that effectively utilizes multimodal fused features from the inputs of RGB, depth and point clouds for efficient 3D shape defect detection.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a critical biomolecule in cellular energy metabolism, with abnormal levels in the bloodstream linked to pathological conditions such as ischemia, cancer, and inflammatory disorders. Accurate and real-time detection of ATP is essential for early diagnosis and disease monitoring. However, conventional biochemical assays and other techniques suffer from limitations, including invasive sample collection, time-consuming procedures, and the inability to provide dynamic, monitoring.

Liver fibrosis, a pivotal pathological stage in the progression of chronic liver diseases to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma is characterized by liver sinusoidal endothelial cell (LSEC) capillarization, oxidative stress imbalance, and cell pyroptosis. Current clinical interventions show limited efficacy in reversing fibrosis, highlighting the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. In this study, we developed an L-arginine-loaded melanin-like nanozyme (L-Arg@MeNPs) that targets liver fibrosis through a triple-action mechanism: (1) sustained nitric oxiderelease from L-Arg restores LSEC fenestration, improving sinusoidal permeability; (2) the MeNPs exhibit catalase/superoxide dismutase-mimicking activity to scavenge reactive oxygen species, thereby blocking the NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3/caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis pathway; and (3) intrinsic photoacoustic/magnetic resonance dual-modal imaging enables real-time therapeutic monitoring.
