Cancer immunotherapies based on cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTLs) are highly promising for cancer treatment. The specific interaction between T-cell receptors and peptide-MHC-I complexes (pMHC-I) cell membranes critically determines their therapeutic outcomes. However, the lack of appropriate endogenous antigens MHC-I presentation disables tumor recognition by CTLs. By devising three antigen-loaded self-assembling peptides pY-K(Ag)-ERGD, pY-K(Ag)-E, Y-K(Ag)-ERGD to noncovalently generate light-activatable supramolecular at sites in different manners, we report pY-K(Ag)-ERGD as a candidate endow cells with pMHC-I targets demand. Specifically, first generates low-antigenic membranes, successive light pulse allows antigen payloads efficiently release from scaffold, directly producing antigenic pMHC-I. Intravenous administration enables light-controlled inhibition when combined adoptively transferred antigen-specific Our strategy is feasible broadening repertoires advancing precision-controlled immunotherapies.

Surgical intervention is the most common first-line treatment for severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) associated with high intracranial pressure, while complexity of these surgical procedures often results in complications. Surgeons struggle to comprehensively evaluate TBI status, making it difficult select optimal strategy. Here, we introduce a fluorescence imaging-based technology that uses high-quality silver indium selenide-based quantum dots (QDs) integrated diagnosis and guidance. These engineered, poly(ethylene glycol)-capped QDs emit near-infrared region, are resistant phagocytosis, importantly, ultrastable after epitaxial growth an aluminum-doped zinc sulfide shell aqueous phase renders long-term light irradiation complex physiological environments. We found intravenous injection enabled both precise mouse model and, more comprehensive evaluation status before, during, operation distinguish from superficial hemorrhages, provide real-time monitoring secondary hemorrhage, guide decision on evacuation hematomas. This QD-based diagnostic system could ultimately complement existing clinical tools treating TBI, which may help surgeons improve patient outcomes avoid unnecessary procedures.
