The dual triggering combines human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) with GnRH agonists (aGnRH) to induce the final oocyte maturation in fertilization (IVF). When both drugs are used sequentially, it is called "double trigger", but this strategy is rarely used clinically. This review explores the rationale for using dual triggering and compares its reproductive outcome with conventional hCG triggering. Variability in protocols, inclusion criteria, study aims, and weak study designs complicate the evaluation of its clinical benefit. Patients with low response or cycles with high proportion of immature oocytes (>25%) may benefit from dual triggering. In contrast, patients with normal or hyper responsiveness show no significant differences compared to conventional hCG triggering. Further robust studies are needed to clarify the clinical applications of dual triggering. Until then, this strategy should remain part of research protocols rather than routine clinical practice.

Inspired by the rigid exoskeleton and elastic inner tissues of crustaceans, a bilayer gel integrating high-strength rigidity and soft cushioning with high interfacial adhesion (1060 ± 40 J m ) is developed via a stepwise solid-liquid phase crosslinking strategy. Herein, a prefrozen high-concentration polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution forms a solid-state structural framework, while a subsequently cast low-concentration PVA solution generates a flexible layer. Partial thawing of the frozen gel during casting triggers molecular chain interpenetration at the interface, synergistically enhanced by controlled molecular penetration, freeze-thaw cycles, and salt-induced crystallization.

Neuromorphic Visual Devices hold considerable promise for integration into neuromorphic vision systems that combine sensing, memory, and computing. This potential arises from their synergistic benefits in optical signal detection and neuro-inspired computational processes. However, current devices face challenges such as insufficient light/dark resistance ratios, mismatched transient photo-response, and volatile retention characteristics, limiting their adaptability to complex artificial vision systems.

Achieving precise intratumoral accumulation and coordinated activation remains a major challenge in nanomedicine. Photothermal therapy (PTT) provides spatiotemporal control, yet its efficacy is hindered by heterogeneous distribution of PTT agents and limited synergy with other modalities. Here, we develop a dual-activation nanoplatform (IrO-P) that integrates exogenous photothermal stimulation with endogenous tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive catalysis for synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and ferroptosis induction.

Current anticancer therapy is challenged by the adaptability and resistance of tumor cells as well as limited drug selectivity that causes severe side effects. The scientific community maintains high interest in metal-based chemotherapeutic agents due to their unique interactions with cancer cells, potentially overcoming resistance mechanisms and exploiting the physiopathology of the tumour tissues. Copper, in particular, plays a dual role in cancer, both facilitating tumor progression and triggering cuproptosis, a copper-induced cell death mechanism.

Ribonucleases (RNases) represent a distinct category of nucleases that facilitate RNA degradation into smaller components. These enzymes are particularly adept at dismantling RNA strands and other materials. A promising strategy for the targeted treatment of cancer cells involves the administration of antibody-based toxic agents designed to eliminate tumor cells specifically.
