TL;DR: The MR Imaging and chemotherapy results on the cancer cells and tumor-bearing mice reinforce that the DOX@ES-MION3@RGD2@mPEG3 nanoparticles are promising for high-resolution T1-weighted MR imaging and precise chemotherapy of tumors.
Abstract: The recently emerged exceedingly small magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (ES-MIONs) (<5 nm) are promising T1-weighted contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to their good biocompatibility compared with Gd-chelates. However, the best particle size of ES-MIONs for T1 imaging is still unknown because the synthesis of ES-MIONs with precise size control to clarify the relationship between the r1 (or r2/r1) and the particle size remains a challenge. In this study, we synthesized ES-MIONs with seven different sizes below 5 nm and found that 3.6 nm is the best particle size for ES-MIONs to be utilized as T1-weighted MR contrast agent. To enhance tumor targetability of theranostic nanoparticles and reduce the nonspecific uptake of nanoparticles by normal healthy cells, we constructed a drug delivery system based on the 3.6 nm ES-MIONs for T1-weighted tumor imaging and chemotherapy. The laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and flow cytometry analysis results demonstrate that our strategy of p...

TL;DR: A highly versatile ROS-scavenging tissue adhesive nanocomposite synthesized by immobilizing ultrasmall ceria nanocrystals onto the surface of uniform mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) not only has strong tissue adhesion strength, but also significantly restricts ROS exacerbation mediated deleterious effects, which efficiently accelerates the wound healing process.

TL;DR: This review provides summary, discussion and inspiration of the types of novel sonosensitizers developed in the last few years and outlines their specific designs and the potential challenges.
Abstract: Modalities for photo-triggered anticancer therapy are usually limited by their low penetrative depth. Sonotheranostics especially sonodynamic therapy (SDT), which is different from photodynamic therapy (PDT) by the use of highly penetrating acoustic waves to activate a class of sound-responsive materials called sonosensitizers, has gained significant interest in recent years. The effect of SDT is closely related to the structural and physicochemical properties of the sonosensitizers, which has led to the development of new sound-activated materials as sonosensitizers for various biomedical applications. This Review provides a summary and discussion of the types of novel sonosensitizers developed in the last few years and outlines their specific designs and the potential challenges. The applications of sonosensitizers with various functions such as for imaging and drug delivery as well as in combination with other treatment modalities would provide new strategies for disease therapy.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …
