An antibacterial biomimetic adhesive with strong adhesion in both dry and underwater situations

Adhesives have been attracting extensive attention in biomedical applications in recent years. However, developing an adhesive with strong adhesion in both dry and underwater situations as well as antibacterial properties...

A low-swelling and toughened adhesive hydrogel with anti-microbial and hemostatic capacities for wound healing

Hydrogel-based wound dressings with tissue adhesion are widely used for wound closure. However, currently developed hydrogel adhesives are still difficult to continue sealing the wound under the bleeding condition. Herein,...

Visible-light excited polar Dion-Jacobson Rb(Bi1-xEux)2Ti2NbO10 perovskite: Photoluminescence properties and in-vitro bioimaging

Rare-earth ion-activated oxide phosphors are beneficial to overcome the problems like photobleaching, reduced lifetime, and the blinking of organic dyes and quantum dots for bioimaging applications. In this work, we...

Fluorescence-Raman dual-mode quantitative detection and imaging of small-molecule thiols in cell apoptosis with DNA-modified gold nanoflowers

The monitoring of small-molecule thiols (especially glutathione) has attracted widespread attention due to their involvement in numerous physiological processes in living organisms and cells. In this work, the dual-mode nanosensor...

Binary Dimeric Prodrug Nanoparticles for Self-Boosted Drug Release and Synergistic Chemo-Photodynamic Therapy

Chemotherapy is the major strategy for cancer therapy, but its limited therapeutic efficiency and serious toxicity to normal tissues greatly restrict its clinical performance. Herein, we develop carrier-free self-activated prodrug...
