TL;DR: MoS2 nanosheets functionalized with poly-ethylene glycol are for the first time used as a multifunctional drug delivery system with high drug loading capacities achieving excellent synergistic anti-tumor effect upon systemic administration.

TL;DR: A new generation of photothermal theranostic agents based on PEGylated WS2 nanosheets achieves excellent therapeutic efficacy with complete ablation of tumors in a mouse tumor model, and promises further exploration of transition-metal dichalcogenides for biomedical applications, such as cancer imaging and therapy.

TL;DR: The design and operation of an ultrasonic device that is conformal to the skin and capable of capturing blood pressure waveforms at deeply embedded arterial and venous sites is described, which enables the non-invasive, continuous and accurate monitoring of cardiovascular events from multiple body locations.

TL;DR: Multi-modal imaging guided photothermal therapy with single-walled carbon nanotubes affords effective destruction of primary tumors together with cancer cells in sentinel lymph nodes, resulting in remarkably prolonged mouse survival compared to mice treated by elimination of only the primary tumor by either surgery or conventional photothermal Therapy.

TL;DR: This work sought to systematically investigate in vivo biodistribution and potential toxicity of as-made GO and a number of polyethylene glycol (PEG) functionalized GO derivatives with different sizes and surface coatings, after oral and intraperitoneal administration at high doses.
