| 1 | Manipulations of micro/nanoparticles using gigahertz acoustic streaming tweezers显示文摘Contactless acoustic manipulation of micro/nanoscale particles has attracted considerable attention owing to its near independence of the physical and chemical properties of the targets,making it universally applicable to almost all biological systems.Thin-film bulk acoustic wave(BAW)resonators operating at gigahertz(GHz)frequencies have been demonstrated to generate localized high-speed microvortices through acoustic streaming effects.Benefitting from the strong drag forces of the high-speed vortices,BAW-enabled GHz acoustic streaming tweezers(AST)have been applied to the trapping and enrichment of particles ranging in size from micrometers to less than 100 nm.However,the behavior of particles in such 3D microvortex systems is still largely unknown.In this work,the particle behavior(trapping,enrichment,and separation)in GHz AST is studied by theoretical analyses,3D simulations,and microparticle tracking experiments.It is found that the particle motion in the vortices is determined mainly by the balance between the acoustic streaming drag force and the acoustic radiation force.This work can provide basic design principles for AST-based lab-on-a-chip systems for a variety of applications. | Hang Wu Zifan Tang Rui You Shuting Pan Wenpeng Liu Hongxiang Zhang Tiechuan Li Yang Yang Chongling Sun Wei Pang Xuexin Duan | 2022 | Nanotechnology and Precision Engineering2022，5，2： | 1 |
| 2 | A novel hierarchical targeting and controllable smart nanoparticles for enhanced in situ nuclear photodynamic therapy显示文摘Photodynamic therapy(PDT)is a promising and non-invasive treatment for various cancers.Although nuclear PDT has considerable therapeutic prospects,it is still hindered by the non-specific recognition of tumor tissues or the degradation of nuclear targeting cationic groups by enzymes in the blood.Herein,a hierarchical targeted and controlled release strategy is proposed by using folate-modified poly-β-cyclodextrin(poly-β-CD)as a nano-carrier for loading nuclear localization signals(NLSs)-conjugated photosensitizer PAP(PAP=pyropheophorbide a-PAAKRVKLD).Excitingly,the obtained FA-CD@PAP(FA=folic acid)and nanoparticles(NPs)can specifically recognize tumor cells overexpressing folate receptors(FR)to remarkedly enhance the intracellular accumulation.Furthermore,the encapsulated PAP can be released under acidic conditions to realize precise nuclear localization.The reactive oxygen species(ROS)generated by the intranuclear-accumulated PAP upon irradiation can oxidize and destroy DNA chains or DNA repair enzymes instantaneously,which can directly induce cell death.As a result,FA-CD@PAP NPs exhibit excellent tumor regression and negligible side effects.This work provides an intelligent nuclear-targeted delivery strategy for in situ nuclear PDT with extremely prominent efficacy and high biological safety. | Gankun Yuan Qilu Wang Zifan You Xuening Chen Jinping Xue Xiao Jia Juanjuan Chen | 2022 | Nano Research2022，15，5： | 0 |
