Bacterial infections and the associated inflammatory responses present significant challenges to public health, underscoring the need for innovative therapeutic strategies. In this study, novel carbon dots (QA-CDs) derived from quercetin (QU) and 4-aminophenol (4-AP) were synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal method. This approach merges the antimicrobial properties of phenolic compounds with the multifunctional advantages of carbon-based nanomaterials.

Genome editing with CRISPR-Cas systems hold promise for treating a wide range of genetic disorders and cancers. However, efficient delivery of genome editors remains challenging due to the requirement for the simultaneous delivery or intracellular generation of Cas proteins, guide RNAs, and, in some applications, donor DNAs. Furthermore, the immunogenicity and toxicity of delivery vehicles can limit the safety and efficacy of genetic medicines.

The flexible and modular design of synthetic cells, comprising lipid vesicles capable of imitating the structure and function of living cells, facilitates their application as drug delivery devices. The ability to control the synthesis of biomolecules within synthetic cells using a tissue-penetrating stimulus opens up additional levels of functionality that has the potential to improve biological potency and circumvent drug leakage from preloaded vesicles. To this end, we have designed spherical nucleic acids comprising DNA promoter sequences decorating magnetic nanoparticle cores.

The measurement of three-dimensional genome folding in the nucleus, mostly through Hi-C methods, is expressed as contact frequencies between genomic segments, without anchoring to physical axes of the spherical nucleus. Here, we mapped the chromatin contacts along nuclear radial axis and built radial score by factoring in contact frequencies. The chromatin high-order structures exhibit rich diversity along radial axis.

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have wide biomedical applications and are initially considered with minimal immunogenicity. Recent studies reveal that IONPs can activate the immune system through reactive oxygen species (ROS) or interferon regulatory factor (IRF) pathways. However, the exact mechanism remains unclear.
