The present disclosure provides EBNA1 and LMP1 dual-targeting peptides and upconversion nanoparticles conjugates comprising the same useful as therapeutic and theranostic agents capable of targeting EBNA1 and LMP1 proteins present in Epstein-Barr virus infected cells, such as cancer.

A nanomedicinal composition comprising a nanocarrier and a pharmaceutical agent mixture comprising an anti-cancer therapeutic and an antioxidant. The nanocarrier comprises a porous silicate matrix and particles of a magnetic ferrite disposed in the pores of the porous silicate matrix. The pharmaceutical agent mixture is disposed in the pores and/or on the surface of the nanocarrier by a solution phase impregnation process. The nanomedicinal composition is used in a method of treating breast cancer.

The invention relates to a novel use of ultrafine nanoparticles, of use as a diagnostic, therapeutic or theranostic agent, characterized by their mode of administration via the airways. The invention is also directed toward the applications which follow from this novel mode of administration, in particular for imaging the lungs, and the diagnosis or prognosis of pathological pulmonary conditions. In the therapeutic field, the applications envisioned are those of radiosensitizing or radioactive agents for radiotherapy (and optionally curietherapy), or for neutron therapy, or of agents for PDT (photodynamic therapy), in particular for the treatment of lung tumors.

A composition includes porous silica particles to carry a cell fate modulating factor therein. A method for modulating cell fate includes treating various cells with the composition. The cell fate modulating factor is delivered to a stable target receptor, toxicity to subject cells for delivery may be reduced, a fate of the subject cells can be controlled through sustained release of at least 99 wt. % of the cell fate modulating factor.

A nanoprobe system for in vivo use comprises a plasmonic-active nanoparticle and a molecular probe system. The molecular probe system comprises an oligonucleotide capable of forming a stem-loop configuration, having a first end and a second end, wherein the oligonucleotide is immobilized to the plasmonic-active nanoparticle at the first end and labeled with a Raman reporter at the second end, a placeholder strand at least partially bound to the oligonucleotide, and an attachment mechanism for attachment to a cell membrane.

This disclosure relates generally to compositions of carbon dots, doxorubicin, and transferrin and methods for use of the same in the treatment of DLBCL tumors.

A bone repair material, a preparation method of the bone repair material, and a biological composite scaffold are provided. The bone repair material includes: a base material, and a carbon nanomaterial and a polypeptide both mixed with the base material; and the carbon nanomaterial and the polypeptide are bonded by chemical bonds. The preparation method includes: bonding a carbon nanomaterial with a polypeptide by chemical bonds; and mixing the carbon nanomaterial and the polypeptide bonded by the chemical bonds with a base material, and performing a molding treatment.

A method for synthesizing cell membrane-biomimetic nanotherapeutics can include coating core particles with cell membrane materials using flash nanocomplexation (FNC). FNC is a turbulent mixing and self-assembly method that can produce cell membrane-coated nanotherapeutics in a reproducible and scalable manner. The FNC-produced cell membrane-coated particles demonstrate lower aggregation, polydispersity, and zeta potential, than nanoparticles prepared by conventional coating methods, such as conventional bulk-sonication. As such, the present method achieves more complete, homogeneous and controllable coating than conventional bulk-sonication methods.
