Polysulfamide is a linear polymer with selective metal (palladium) adsorption capacity. The research group of Professor Yi Wenbin of Nanjing University of Science and Technology has developed a general method for preparing polysulfamide using secondary amines, and uses palladium to assist the synthesis of polysulfamide. A palladium-crosslinked polysulfamide skeleton metal...

      Fluorine is an important non-metal element. Due to its unique electronegativity, electronic effect and steric hindrance effect, fluorine atoms are often introduced into drugs to regulate drug metabolism pathways, improve metabolic stability and permeability, etc., and have been More than 20% of drugs and pesticides on the...

Intraoperative fluorescence navigation is a cutting-edge technology that leverages the enhanced penetration and retention effect (EPR effect) of fluorescent dyes. These dyes accumulate in tumor tissue and emit fluorescence upon receiving excitation light, allowing for real-time visualization of tumor locations during surgery.    Figure 1 Fluorescence imaging technology has broad...

EC series near-infrared fluorescent dyes are a new class of high-performance dyes developed by the research team of Professor Yang Youjun at East China University of Science and Technology (Figure 1) [1-7]. These dyes are designed to meet the growing demand for infrared imaging, photothermal ablation, and other applications in...

In August 2018, the team led by Academician Shao Feng, deputy director of the Beijing Institute of Life Sciences, published a groundbreaking research paper titled "Alpha-kinase 1 is a cytosolic innate immune receptor for bacterial ADP-heptose" in Nature. The study was the first to demonstrate that adenosine heptose monophosphate (ADP-heptose)...

Gold nanorods are rod-shaped nanoparticles made of gold, with dimensions ranging from a few nanometers to hundreds of nanometers. These nanoparticles have unique and rich physical and chemical properties, such as high surface electric field intensity enhancement and tunable photothermal conversion efficiency. These properties make gold nanorods ideal for applications...
