Owing to the variety and complexity of ocular diseases and the natural ocular barriers, drug
therapy for ocular diseases has significant limitations, such as poor drug targeting to the site …

Imprecise targeting of chemotherapeutic drugs often leads to severe toxicity during breast
cancer therapy. To address this issue, we have devised a strategy to load dacarbazine (DC) …

The intense metabolism of cancer cells leads to hypoxia and lack of crucial nutrients in the
tumor microenvironment, which hinders the function of immune cells. We designed a …

Foodborne carbon dots (CDs), an emerging food nanocontaminant, are an increasing risk
factor for metabolic toxicity in mammals. Here, we report that chronic CD exposure induced …
