Catalytic detoxification of pharmaceutical wastewater by Fenton-like reaction with activated alumina supported CoMnAl composite metal oxides catalyst

Aggregation‐induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) are widely used as photosensitizers for image‐guided photodynamic therapy (PDT). Due to the limited penetration depth of light in biological tissues, the treatments of deep‐seated tumors by visible‐light‐sensitized aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) photosensitizers are severely hampered. Microwave dynamic therapy attracts much attention because microwave irradiation can penetrate very deep tissues and sensitize the photosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this work, a mitochondrial‐targeting AIEgen (DCPy) is integrated with living mitochondria to form a bioactive AIE nanohybrid. This nanohybrid can not only generate ROS under microwave irradiation to induce apoptosis of deep‐seated cancer cells but also reprogram the metabolism pathway of cancer cells through retrieving oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) instead of glycolysis to enhance the efficiency of microwave dynamic therapy. This work demonstrates an effective strategy to integrate synthetic AIEgens and natural living organelles, which would inspire more researchers to develop advanced bioactive nanohybrids for cancer synergistic therapy.

AIEgens/Mitochondria Nanohybrids as Bioactive Microwave Sensitizers for Non‐Thermal Microwave Cancer Therapy

Aggregation-Induced Emission In article 2202907 by Pengfei Zhang, Ben Zhong Tang, and co-workers, living mitochondria is used as a “submarine” to deliver aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosenzitizers for killing the target cancer cells hidden in the “deep sea” of the human body. The therapeutic function of the AIE photosenzitizers can be remotely activated by microwave irradiation. The external mitochondria can also be helpful for tumor microenvironmental remediation.
