Article Abstract

The photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) stands as a pivotal determinant in the therapeutic efficacy of photothermal nanoagents (PTNAs) within the context of photothermal therapy (PTT). The dearth of universal strategies to greatly enhance PCE has markedly curtailed the practical deployment of PTNAs. Now this problem is addressed by proposing a universal approach founded on molecular rotors and J-aggregates, "highly efficient molecular motor matrix", to greatly elevate the PCE of traditional PTNAs. Here, the donor-acceptor structural framework is endeavors to amalgamate with an expansive array of highly efficient molecular motors, culminating in the ingenuous synthesis of a validated small molecule denoted as BO-4, which boasts an exceptional PCE (>90%). Moreover, nanoparticles of BO-4, named BO-4 NPs, have demonstrated marked suppression of metastatic tumor growth in vitro by PTT induced immunization and achieves complete primary tumor ablation in tumor-bearing mice after just two laser exposures. The proposed "highly efficient molecular motor matrix" strategy will pioneering a comprehensive trajectory is believed for the future design of high performance PTNAs with potential for clinical application in cancer treatment.

Voltage-gated K channels of the Kv2 family coassemble with electrically silent KvS subunits in specific subpopulations of brain neurons, forming heteromeric Kv2/KvS channels with distinct functional properties. Little is known about the composition and function of Kv2 channels in spinal cord neurons, however. Here, we show that while Kv2.

Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) is a devastating neurological condition with limited therapeutic options and a high likelihood of permanent disability. Among the multifaceted secondary injury mechanisms triggered by TSCI, pyroptosis-an inflammatory form of programmed cell death-has emerged as a key pathological process. In particular, microglial pyroptosis plays a pivotal role in exacerbating neuroinflammation and disrupting tissue homeostasis, thereby amplifying the secondary injury cascade.

Abnormal accumulation of TAR DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting TDP-43 offer potential therapeutic strategies for these diseases. However, efficient and safe delivery of siRNAs to the central nervous system (CNS) remains a critical challenge.

Age is the most significant risk factor for Parkinson's disease, a common and progressive neurodegenerative disorder; however, exposure to toxic substances is also strongly implicated. Rotenone, an organic pesticide, induces neuropathological features of Parkinson's disease, and is widely used to create rodent models of the condition. Although the molecular mechanisms involved in the onset and progression of the disease are still unknown, neurodegenerative diseases due to protein accumulation in certain areas of the brain, have been associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress.
