Article Abstract
In this study, we report the synthesis and characterization of nitroxide-functionalized silica nanoparticles incorporating a TEMPO-based spin label. These nanoparticles were prepared through a reverse microemulsion method, and the nitroxide moiety was introduced via a TEMPO-modified silane, synthesized by coupling 4-amino-TEMPO with 3-(triethoxysilyl)propylsuccinic anhydride. By adjusting experimental parameters, we successfully modulated the radical surface density, obtaining values ranging from 0.36 to 2.83 radicals/nm, as determined by UV spectroscopy. Relaxometric measurements showed that both longitudinal () and transverse () relaxivities were strongly influenced by radical density, reaching maximum values of 5.42 and 11.94 s·mM, respectively, corresponding to enhancements of up to 489% () and 712% () compared to free 4-amino-TEMPO (at 20 MHz). Interestingly, high surface loading led to a decrease in relaxivity, highlighting the role of spin-spin interactions in modulating the relaxation process. Phantom electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) demonstrated improved contrast and resolution for formulations with low radical densities, highlighting the importance of surface engineering to optimize the nanoparticle performance for EPRI applications.

Carbon monoxide (CO) has demonstrated significant potential in tumor therapy. However, the uncontrolled release of CO and single-modality therapy often fail to achieve the desired therapeutic outcomes. To address the above deficiencies, mesoporous silica nanoparticles containing tetrasulfide bonds (TMSNs) were constructed as intelligent nanocarriers to co-deliver a mitochondria-targeting photosensitizer (Au-TPP) and a photodynamically activated CO-releasing molecule (FeCO), enabling the synergistic combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and CO therapy.

Lung cancer, as one of the cancers with the highest morbidity and mortality rates in the world, requires accurate detection of its vital serum marker, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), which is a key challenge for early detection of lung cancer. However, traditional chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) methods rely on labeled antibodies (Abs) and suffer from complex operations and high costs. In this work, a label-free CLIA based on CL-functionalized mesoporous magnetic nanoparticles (CuFeO@mSiO-Cys-Luminol-Au NPs) is developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of NSE.

Nanoporous structures play a critical role in a wide range of applications, including catalysis, thermoelectrics, energy storage, gas adsorption, and thermal insulation. However, their thermal instability remains a persistent challenge. Inspired by the extraordinary resilience of tardigrades, an "atomic armor" strategy is introduced to enhance the stability of nanoporous structures.
