Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe neurodegenerative condition characterized by inflammation, beta-amyloid (Aβ) plaques, and neurodegeneration, which currently lack effective treatments. Chiral nanomaterials have emerged as promising option for treating disorders due to their high biocompatibility, strong sustained release ability, specific enantiomer selectivity. The development of stimulus-responsive chiral nanomaterial, UiO-66-NH2 @l-MoS2 QDs@PA-Ni (MSP-U), the treatment AD reported. MSP-U found stimulate neural stem cell (NSCs) differentiation, promote in situ hydrogen (H2 ) production, clear Aβ plaques. l-MoS2 QDs modified with l-Cysteine (l-Cys) effectively enhance differentiation NSCs into neurons through circularly polarized near-infrared radiation. Doped-phytic acid nickel (PA-Ni) improves activity scavenging reactive oxygen species at lesion site via photocatalytic H2 production. Loading UiO-66 type metal oxide suppresses electron-hole recombination effect, thereby achieving rapid charge separation improving transport photogenerated electrons, leading significantly improved production efficiency. photothermal effect also clears generated In vivo evaluations show that spatial cognition memory, suggesting potential candidate using nanomaterials.

Abstract Chirality is a universal phenomenon in molecular and biological systems, denoting an asymmetric configurational property where object cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image by any kind of translation or rotation, which ubiquitous on the scale from neutrinos to spiral galaxies. plays very important role life system. Many molecules body show chirality, such as “codebook” earth's diversity‐DNA, nucleic acid, etc. Intriguingly, living organisms hierarchically consist homochiral building blocks, for example, l ‐amino acids d ‐sugars with unknown reason. When chirality interact these chiral factors, only one conformation favors positive development life, that is, host environment can selectively conformations. The differences interactions are often manifested recognition, mutual matching, molecules, means stereoselectivity produce changes pharmacodynamics pathology. Here, latest investigations summarized including construction applications materials based natural small source, biomacromolecules sources, material synthesized design source.

The differentiation of neural stem cells via nanomaterials has attracted attention and become a potential tool. However, the chirality effect in cell not been investigated. Here, this study shows that chiral nanoparticles (NPs) with strong can efficiently accelerate mouse (NSCs) into neurons under near-infrared (NIR) light illumination. L-type NPs are 1.95 times greater than D-type promoting NSCs due to their 1.47-fold endocytosis efficiency. Whole gene expression map analysis reveals circularly polarized illumination irradiation significantly upregulate Map2, Yap1, Taz genes, resulting mechanical force, cytoskeleton protein action, accelerated differentiation.
