Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been a major causal factor for mortality among elders around the world. The treatments AD, however, are still in stage of development. Stem cell therapy, compared to drug therapies and many other therapeutic options, advantages is very promising future. There four types stem cells used AD therapy: neural cells, mesenchymal embryonic induced pluripotent cells. All them have applications treatments, either at (1) cellular level, an (2) animal model, or (3) clinical level. In general, more were studied on level than We suggest future studies increase research various include cross-disciplinary with diseases. future, there could also be improvements timeliness individualization AD.

Abstract Herein we present a new way to encapsulate neural stem cells (NSCs) by using hydrogen‐bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) overcome the common causes of low therapeutic efficacy during NSC transplantation: 1) loss fundamental cell properties, “stemness”, before transplantation, 2) cytomembrane damage and 3) apoptosis due oxidative stress after transplantation. Porous carbon nanospheres (PCNs) are doped into HOF shell process mineralization endow cellular exoskeletons with hierarchical hydrogen bonds, ability resist catalase superoxide dismutase‐like activities PCN. Under NIR‐II irradiation, thermal‐responsive bonds dissociate release NSCs. Stereotactic transplanting encapsulated brain an Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse model further verifies that our design can enhance viability, promote neurogenesis, ameliorate cognitive impairment. As first example HOFs NSCs, this work may inspire HOF‐based neurogenesis behavioral symptoms associated AD.

Abstract Gene therapy uses modern molecular biology methods to repair disease‐causing genes. As a burgeoning therapeutic, it has been widely applied for cancer therapy. Since 1989, there have numerous clinical gene cases worldwide. However, few are successful. The main challenge of is the lack efficient and safe vectors. Although viral vectors show high transfection efficiency, their application still limited by immune rejection packaging capacity. Therefore, development non‐viral overwhelming. Nanoplatform‐based become hotspot in reasons mainly as follows. 1) Non‐viral can be engineered uptaken specific types cells or tissues, providing effective targeting capability. 2) protect goods that need delivered from degradation. 3) Nanoparticles transport large‐sized cargo such CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids nucleoprotein complexes. 4) highly biosafe, they not mutagenic themselves compared 5) easy scale preparation, which conducive conversion application.
