A research paper by scientists from Liaoning Cancer Hospital & Institute, The First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University, and other institutions proposed a hollow mesoporous carbon (HMC) nanoparticle prepared via the sacrificial template method, featuring a porphyrin-like structure that enables efficient singlet oxygen generation and synergistic sono-immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer.

The new research paper, published on May 9 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, presented the preparation, characterization, and therapeutic application of MOF-derived HMC nanoparticles, and demonstrated their potential to enhance sono-immunotherapy efficacy by inducing tumor cell apoptosis and activating the immune

system.

 Anti-forgetting representation learning method reduces the weight aggregation interference on model memory and augments the representation performance.

The complex fluid–structure interaction underlying blood flow through vessels has proved challenging to analyze both numerically and experimentally. Addressing this gap, researchers developed a new experimental platform that uses polarized light to directly visualize stress fields in artificial blood vessels and in the flowing blood analogue in real time. Their findings reveal how stress is distributed during pulsating flow and could help design safer devices and improve the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

A study led by researchers at the Department of Civil Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has uncovered alarming evidence that soil worldwide is emerging as a significant reservoir and amplifier of high-risk antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which enable bacteria to develop resistance to antibiotics, and that their threat to public health has continued to increase over the past decade or so.

The team led by Professors Wang Chengyu and Yang Haiyue from Northeast Forestry University proposed a strategy for constructing highly efficient seawater desalination aerogels using polydopamine bridging modification.  Using polydopamine as the "bridge", photothermal performance is enhanced by modifying the MXene nanoparticles, and a covalent cross-linked structure is formed with cellulose to improve the stability of the structure.
