Enhanced Sonodynamic Cancer Therapy through Iron‐Doping and Oxygen‐Vacancy Engineering of Piezoelectric Bismuth Tungstate Nanosheets

Small, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 19(24)

Опубликована: Март 15, 2023

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is regarded as a new-rising strategy for cancer treatment with low invasiveness and high tissue penetration, but the scarcity of high-efficiency sonosensitizers has seriously hindered its application. Herein, iron-doped oxygen-deficient bismuth tungstate nanosheets (BWO-Fe NSs) piezotronic effect are synthesized enhanced SDT. Due to existence oxygen defects introduced through Fe doping, bandgap BWO-Fe significantly narrowed so that can be more easily activated by exogenous ultrasound (US). The acting electron traps inhibit recombination US-induced electrons holes. More importantly, dynamically renewed piezoelectric potential facilitates migration holes opposite side causes energy band bending, which further promotes production reactive species. Furthermore, doping endows Fenton reactivity, converts hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) in tumor microenvironment into hydroxyl radicals (•OH), thereby amplifying cellular oxidative damage enhancing Both vitro vivo experiments illustrate their cytotoxicity suppression rate against refractory breast mice. This work may provide an alternative develop SDT via metal ions.

Enhancing Deep‐Seated Melanoma Therapy through Wearable Self‐Powered Microneedle Patch

Advanced Materials, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 36(11)

Опубликована: Дек. 20, 2023

Abstract Effective treatment of deep‐seated tumors relies on enhanced drug penetration in transdermal delivery systems. While microneedles (MNs) and iontophoresis techniques have shown improved efficiency, challenges such as skin elasticity, high electrical resistance the stratum corneum, external power supply requirements hinder their efficacy treating tumors. In this study, a wearable, self‐powered MN patch that integrates flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (F‐TENG) is presented, aimed at advancing tumor therapy. MNs are composed water‐soluble materials mixed with negatively charged pH‐responsive nanoparticles (NPs) loaded therapeutic drugs. The F‐TENG harnesses personal mechanical movements generate energy. Leveraging advantages both F‐TENG, NPs can penetrate deep locations upon insertion, releasing drugs rapidly acidic tissues. Owing to these features, single administration integrated MN‐patch mouse model melanoma exhibits superior inhibiting deep‐located compared using alone, indicating promising potential for sites.
