Developing Hypoxia-Sensitive System via Designing Tumor-Targeted Fullerene-Based Photosensitizer for Multimodal Therapy of Deep Tumor.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been approved for clinic. However, powerless efficiency for deep hypoxic tumor therapy remains an enormous challenge for PDT. Herein, a hypoxia-sensitive nanotherapeutic system (FTCD-SRGD) based on fullerene (C70 ) and anoxic activating chemical prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) is rationally designed for multimodal therapy of deep hypoxic tumors. To enhance the accumulation and achieve specific drug release in tumor, the FTCD-SRGD is modified with cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-d-Phe-Lys) (cRGDfK) peptide and disulfide bonds. With the exacerbated hypoxic microenvironment created by C70 consuming O2 for generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), TPZ is activated to produce toxic radical species to ablate deep tumors, which achieves a synergistic treatment of C70 -mediated PDT and hypoxia-enhanced chemotherapy. Additionally, given this hypoxia-sensitive system-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) activating anticancer cytotoxic T lymphocyte to result in more susceptible tumor to immunotherapy, FTCD-SRGD plus immune checkpoint inhibitor (anti-PD-L1) fully inhibit deep hypoxic tumors by promoting infiltration of effector T cells in tumors. Collectively, it is the first time to develop a multimodal therapy system with fullerene-based hypoxia-sensitive PS for deep tumors. The powerful multimodal nanotherapeutic system for combining hypoxia-enhanced PDT and immunotherapy to massacre deep hypoxic tumors can provide a paradigm to combat the present bottleneck of tumor therapy.

An Antioxidative and Active Shrinkage Hydrogel Integratedly Promotes Re-Epithelization and Skin Constriction for Enhancing Wound Closure.

Delayed re-epithelization and weakened skin contractions are the two primary factors that hinder wound closure in large-scale acute or chronic wounds. However, effective strategies for targeting these two aspects concurrently are still lacking. Herein, an antioxidative active-shrinkage hydrogel (AHF@AS Gel) is constructed that can integratedly promote re-epithelization and skin constriction to accelerate large-scale acute and diabetic chronic wound closure. The AHF@AS Gel is encapsulated by antioxidative amino- and hydroxyl-modified C70 fullerene (AHF) and a thermosensitive active shrinkage hydrogel (AS Gel). Specifically, AHF relieves overactivated inflammation, prevents cellular apoptosis, and promotes fibroblast migration in vitro by reducing excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). Notably, the AHF@AS Gel achieved ≈2.7-fold and ≈1.7-fold better re-epithelization in acute wounds and chronic diabetic wounds, respectively, significantly contributing to the promotion of wound closure. Using proteomic profiling and mechanistic studies, it is identified that the AHF@AS Gel efficiently promoted the transition of the inflammatory and proliferative phases to the remodeling phase. Notably, it is demonstrated that AS Gel alone activates the mechanosensitive epidermal growth factor receptor/Akt (EGFR/Akt) pathway and promotes cell proliferation. The antioxidative active shrinkage hydrogel offers a comprehensive strategy for acute wound and diabetic chronic wound closure via biochemistry regulation integrating with mechanical forces stimulation.

Efficient Charge Separation and Transport in Fullerene-CuPcOC8 Donor-Acceptor Nanorod Enhancing Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation.

Photocatalytic hydrogen generation via water decomposition is a promising avenue in the pursuit of large-scale, cost-effective renewable hydrogen energy generation. However, the design of an efficient photocatalyst plays a crucial role in achieving high yields in hydrogen generation. Herein, we have engineered a fullerene-2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octa(octyloxy)copper phthalocyanine (C60-CuPcOC8) photocatalyst, achieving both efficient hydrogen generation and high stability. The significant donor-acceptor (D-A) interactions facilitate the efficient electron transfer from CuPcOC8 to C60. The rate of photocatalytic hydrogen generation for C60-CuPcOC8 is 8.32 mmol·g-1·h-1, which is two orders of magnitude higher than the individual C60 and CuPcOC8. The remarkable increase in hydrogen generation activity can be attributed to the development of a robust internal electric field within the C60-CuPcOC8 assembly. It is 16.68 times higher than that of the pure CuPcOC8. The strong internal electric field facilitates the rapid separation within 0.6 ps, enabling photogenerated charge transfer efficiently. Notably, the hydrogen generation efficiency of C60-CuPcOC8 remains above 95%, even after 10 h, showing its exceptional photocatalytic stability. This study provides critical insight into advancing the field of photocatalysis.

Self-Cascade Redox Modulator Trilogically Renovates Intestinal Microenvironment for Mitigating Endotoxemia.

Endotoxemia is a life-threatening multiple organ failure disease caused by bacterial endotoxin infection. Unfortunately, current single-target therapy strategies have failed to prevent the progression of endotoxemia. Here, we reported that alanine fullerene redox modulator (AFRM) remodeled the intestinal microenvironment for multiple targets endotoxemia mitigation by suppressing inflammatory macrophages, inhibiting macrophage pyroptosis, and repairing epithelial cell barrier integrity. Specifically, AFRM exhibited broad-spectrum and self-cascade redox regulation properties with superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like enzyme, peroxidase (POD)-like enzyme activity, and hydroxyl radical (•OH) scavenging ability. Guided by proteomics, we demonstrated that AFRM regulated macrophage redox homeostasis and down-regulated LPS/TLR4/NF-κB and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways to suppress inflammatory hyperactivation. Of note, AFRM could attenuate inflammation-induced macrophage pyroptosis via inhibiting the activation of gasdermin D (GSDMD). In addition, our results revealed that AFRM could restore extracellular matrix and cell-tight junction proteins and protect the epithelial cell barrier integrity by regulating extracellular redox homeostasis. Consequently, AFRM inhibited systemic inflammation and potentiated intestinal epithelial barrier damage repair during endotoxemia in mice. Together, our work suggested that fullerene based self-cascade redox modulator has the potential in the management of endotoxemia through synergistically remodeling the inflammation and epithelial barriers in the intestinal microenvironment.

Curdlan-Decorated Fullerenes Mitigate Immune-Mediated Hepatic Injury for Autoimmune Hepatitis Therapeutics via Reducing Macrophage Infiltration.

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a severe immune-mediated inflammatory liver disease whose standard of care is immunosuppressive treatment with inevitable undesired outcomes. Macrophage is acknowledged to aggravate liver damage, providing a promising AIH therapeutic target. Accordingly, in this study, a kind of curdlan-decorated fullerene nanoparticle (Cur-F) is fabricated to alleviate immune-mediated hepatic injury for treating AIH via reducing macrophage infiltration in a concanavalin A (Con A)-induced AIH mouse model. After intravenous administration, Cur-F primarily distributes in liver tissues, efficiently eliminates the excessive reactive oxygen species, significantly attenuates oxidative stress, and subsequently suppresses the nuclear factor kappa-B-gene binding (NF-κB) signal pathway, resulting in the lowered production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the balancing of the immune homeostasis with the prevention of macrophage infiltration in the liver. The regulation of hepatic inflammation contributes to inhibiting inflammatory cytokines-induced hepatocyte apoptosis, decreasing the serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) contents and thus ameliorating immune-mediated hepatic injury. Notably, there is no detectable toxicity to the body. Our findings may open up novel avenues for AIH based on curdlan and fullerene materials.

The formation mechanism of Sc-based metallofullerenes: a molecular dynamics simulation study.

The practical applications of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are mainly constrained by their low yields. Understanding the formation mechanisms is therefore crucial for developing methods for high-yield and selective synthesis. To address this, a novel force-field parameter set, "CSc.ff", was created using a single-parameter search optimization method, then molecular dynamics simulations of various systems with a carbon-to-scandium atomic ratio of 12.5 were carried out. The simulations were run under a constant atomic number, volume, and energy (NVE) ensemble. The influence of the working gas, helium, as well as temperature gradients on the formation process was examined. Our simulations reveal that the cage growth patterns of Sc-based EMFs (Sc-EMFs) closely resemble those of hollow fullerenes, evolving from free carbon atoms to chains, rings, and, ultimately, to cage-shaped clusters. Importantly, the Sc-EMFs formed in the simulation frequently exhibit structural defects or under-coordinated carbon atoms. Scandium atoms, whether at the periphery or on the surface of these cages, can be incorporated into the cages, forming Sc-EMFs. Helium was found to not only promote the formation of carbon cages but also facilitate the encapsulation of scandium atoms, playing a crucial role in the formation of cluster fullerenes. Moreover, cooling effectively inhibits the uncontrollable growth of the carbon cage and is essential for forming stable, appropriate-sized cages. This study enhances our understanding of the formation of Sc-EMFs and provides valuable insights for developing more efficient synthetic methods.

Suppressing Exciton-Vibration Coupling to Prolong Exciton Lifetime of Nonfullerene Acceptors Enables High-Efficiency Organic Solar Cells.

The limited exciton lifetime (τ, generally <1 ns) leads to short exciton diffusion length (LD ) of organic semiconductors, which is the bottleneck issue impeding the further improvement of power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) for organic solar cells (OSCs). However, efficient strategies to prolong intrinsic τ are rare and vague. Herein, we propose a facile method to efficiently reduce vibrational frequency of molecular skeleton and suppress exciton-vibration coupling to decrease non-radiative decay rate and thus prolong τ via deuterating nonfullerene acceptors. The τ remarkably increases from 0.90 ns (non-deuterated L8-BO) to 1.35 ns (deuterated L8-BO-D), which is the record for organic photovoltaic materials. Besides, the inhibited molecular vibration improves molecular planarity of L8-BO-D for enhanced exciton diffusion coefficient. Consequently, the LD increases from 7.9 nm (L8-BO) to 10.7 nm (L8-BO-D). The prolonged LD of L8-BO-D enables PM6 : L8-BO-D-based bulk heterojunction OSCs to acquire higher PCEs of 18.5 % with more efficient exciton dissociation and weaker charge carrier recombination than PM6 : L8-BO-based counterparts. Moreover, benefiting from the prolonged LD , D18/L8-BO-D-based pseudo-planar heterojunction OSCs achieve an impressive PCE of 19.3 %, which is among the highest values. This work provides an efficient strategy to increase the τ and thus LD of organic semiconductors, boosting PCEs of OSCs.

Therapeutic Potential Evaluation of Silk Sericin Stabilized Fisetin to Ulcerative Colitis.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with a high recurrence rate. Natural phytochemical compounds are increasingly being considered as preventative and supportive treatments for this condition. However, the poor water solubility and stability of many of these compounds limit their effectiveness in vivo. To address this issue, fisetin (FT), a natural phytochemical with poor solubility, is stabilized using silk sericin (SS) to create a composite (SS/FT). The therapeutic potential of the SS/FT on ulcerative colitis is extensively investigated, and the results showed that it effectively alleviated the body weight loss and colon length shortening induced by dextran sulfate sodium. Notably, SS/FT downregulated the immune response, decreased colonic histopathological lesions, and reduced the cGAS/STING signal activation. This suggests that SS/FT may offer a promising therapy for treating ulcerative colitis.

Manipulating Vertical Phase Separation Enables Pseudoplanar Heterojunction Organic Solar Cells Over 19% Efficiency via Ternary Polymerization.

Controlling vertical phase separation of the active layer to enable efficient exciton dissociation and charge carrier transport is crucial to boost power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of pseudoplanar heterojunction (PPHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs). However, how to optimize the vertical phase separation of PPHJ OSCs via molecule design is rarely reported yet. Herein, ternary polymerization strategy is employed to develop a series of polymer donors, DL1-DL4, and regulate their solubility, molecular aggregation, molecular orientation, and miscibility, thus efficiently manipulating vertical phase separation in PPHJ OSCs. Among them, DL1 not only has enhanced solubility, inhibited molecular aggregation and partial edge-on orientation to facilitate acceptor molecules, Y6, to permeate into polymer layer and increase donor/acceptor interfaces, but also sustains high crystallinity and appropriate miscibility with Y6 to acquire ordered molecular packing, thus achieving optimized vertical phase separation to well juggle exciton dissociation and charge transport in PPHJ devices. Therefore, DL1/Y6 based PPHJ OSCs gain the best exciton dissociation probability, highest charge carrier mobilities and weakest charge recombination, and thus afford an impressive PCE of 19.10%, which is the record value for terpolymer donors. It demonstrates that ternary polymerization is an efficient method to optimize vertical phase separation in PPHJ OSCs for high PCEs.

Recovering intestinal redox homeostasis to resolve systemic inflammation for preventing remote myocardial injury by oral fullerenes.

The unbalanced immune state is the dominant feature of myocardial injury. However, the complicated pathology of cardiovascular diseases and the unique structure of cardiac tissue lead to challenges for effective immunoregulation therapy. Here, we exploited oral fullerene nanoscavenger (OFNS) to maintain intestinal redox homeostasis to resolve systemic inflammation for effectively preventing distal myocardial injury through bidirectional communication along the heart-gut immune axis. Observably, OFNS regulated redox microenvironment to repair cellular injury and reduce inflammation in vitro. Subsequently, OFNS prevented myocardial injury by regulating intestinal redox homeostasis and recovering epithelium barrier integrity in vivo. Based on the profiles of transcriptomics and proteomics, we demonstrated that OFNS balanced intestinal and systemic immune homeostasis for remote cardioprotection. Of note, we applied this principle to intervene myocardial infarction in mice and mini-pigs. These findings highlight that locally addressing intestinal redox to inhibit systemic inflammation could be a potent strategy for resolving remote tissue injury.

Oral Immunotherapy Reshapes Intestinal Immunosuppression via Metabolic Reprogramming to Enhance Systemic Anti-Tumor Immunity.

Tumor immunotherapy offers a new paradigm to treat cancer; however, the existing regimens are accompanied by the dilemma of insufficient therapeutic outcomes and off-target adverse effects. The intestinal immune system contains a bulk of immune cells, which can be important contributors to the maintenance of systemic immune homeostasis. However, manipulating intestinal immunity to achieve systemic anti-tumor immunity is extremely challenging. Here, an oral immunotherapy strategy is reported using immune-enhancing fullerenes (IEF) that can reinvigorate anti-tumor immunity via immune cell-metabolic reprogramming of intestinal immune cells. Findings show that IEF can remodel anti-inflammatory macrophages into tumor-killing macrophages by regulating the energy metabolism pathway from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to glycolysis. Consequently, IEF can reprogram the immunosuppressive intestinal immunity and enhance sys temic immunity in vivo, thereby boosting anti-tumor immunity and converting "cold" tumors into "hot" tumors. Oral immunotherapy strategy, modulating autoimmune cells in the intestine and achieving systemic anti-tumor immunity, can ensure safe and efficient tumor immunotherapy.

Encapsulation of Sericin-Decorated Efficient Agents in Silk Hydrogels for Wound Dressings.

Excessive oxidative stress, bacterial infections, and inflammation are the primary factors impeding the healing of skin wounds. Bioactive hydrogels are commonly employed in the treatment of skin injuries. However, the limited solubility of many drugs and active agents in water significantly hampers their effectiveness in hydrogel dressings. In this research, prior to incorporation into the silk fibroin (SF) hydrogel matrix, two active agents curcumin and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were decorated by silk sericin to improve their dispersibility and stability in water. The resultant SF/Ag/C hydrogels combined the biological safety and nontoxicity of SF, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy of curcumin, and the antibacterial effect of Ag NPs. These properties effectively enhanced wound repair by reducing bacterial infections, mitigating oxidative stress, suppressing the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, and promoting angiogenesis. This study presented a straightforward approach for constructing bioactive hydrogels for the promotion of the wound healing process.

Oral [60]fullerene reduces neuroinflammation to alleviate Parkinson's disease via regulating gut microbiome.

Neuroinflammation is considered to drive the pathogenic process of neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, effective anti-neuroinflammation therapeutics for PD still remain dissatisfactory. Here we explore a robust therapeutic strategy for PD using anti-neuroinflammatory fullerenes. Methods: Oral fullerene was prepared by a ball-milling method. 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mouse model was used to investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of it. The gut microenvironment was evaluated by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR), and western blot (WB). The neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration were evaluated by pathological analysis, Elisa kits, transmission electron microscopy, Q-PCR, WB and so on. Toxicity was assessed by weight, blood test and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Results: Oral fullerene therapeutic system that dissolved [60]fullerene into olive oil (abbreviated as OFO) was dexterously designed, which could reduce neuroinflammation via regulating the diversity of gut microbiome, increasing the contents of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and recovering the integrity of gut barrier. Accordingly, the reduction of neuroinflammation prevented dopaminergic neuronal degeneration. And thus, OFO significantly ameliorated motor deficits and fundamentally reversed dopamine (DA) loss in MPTP-induced PD mice. Of note, OFO exhibited low toxicity towards the living body. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that OFO is a safe-to-use, easy-to-apply, and prospective candidate for PD treatment in clinic, opening a therapeutic window for neuroinflammation-triggered neurodegeneration.

Drug-Loaded Konjac Glucomannan/Metal-Organic Framework Composite Hydrogels as Antibacterial and Anti-Inflammatory Cell Scaffolds.

Bacterial infections severely threaten human health; therefore, it is important to endow the matrix for tissue engineering with antibacterial efficiency. The loading of antibacterial drugs on nanomaterials provides an efficient strategy to realize synergistic antibacterial efficiency. By depositing various metal-organic frameworks, such as UIO-66, onto konjac glucomannan (KGM), composite hydrogels (KGM/UIO-66) were created. These hydrogels were used as drug carriers, enabling the development of antibacterial hydrogels with high drug loading capacities (e.g., the maximum loading amount of pterostilbene on KGM/UIO-66 reached 0.157 mg/mg) and sustained drug release. The resulting KGM/UIO-66/pterostilbene hydrogel exhibited a three-dimensional porous structure, excellent biocompatibility, antibacterial efficiency, and anti-inflammatory activity. It effectively protected cells from bacterial attacks while ensuring cell adhesion and proliferation, demonstrating great potential as a three-dimensional substrate for biomedical applications, including tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Structure and single-molecule conductance of two endohedral metallofullerenes with large C88 cage.

Endohedral metallofullerenes are capable of holding peculiar metal clusters inside the carbon cage. Additionally, these display many chemical and physical properties originating from the complexation between the metal clusters and carbon cages, which could be acquired for wide applications. In this study, two metallofullerenes (Ce2O@C88 and Ce3N@C88) with an identical large C88-D2(35) cage, and their molecular structures and single-molecule conductance properties were investigated comparatively. Characterizations of UV-vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and DFT calculations were employed to determine the geometries and electronic structures of Ce2O@C88 and Ce3N@C88. These molecules revealed varied energy gaps, structural parameters, vibrational modes, and molecular frontier orbitals. Although the two metallofullerenes have an identical cage isomer of C88-D2(35), their different endohedral clusters can influence their structures and physicochemical properties. Furthermore, the single-molecule conductance properties were measured using the scanning tunneling microscopy break junction technique (STM-BJ). The experimental results revealed that Ce2O@C88 has a higher conductance than Ce3N@C88 and C60. This revealed the cluster-dependent electron transportation as well as the significant research value of metallofullerenes with large carbon cages. These results provide guidance for fabricating single-molecule electronic devices.

Embedded nano spin sensor for in situ probing of gas adsorption inside porous organic frameworks.

Spin-based sensors have attracted considerable attention owing to their high sensitivities. Herein, we developed a metallofullerene-based nano spin sensor to probe gas adsorption within porous organic frameworks. For this, spin-active metallofullerene, Sc3C2@C80, was selected and embedded into a nanopore of a pyrene-based covalent organic framework (Py-COF). Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy recorded the EPR signals of Sc3C2@C80 within Py-COF after adsorbing N2, CO, CH4, CO2, C3H6, and C3H8. Results indicated that the regularly changing EPR signals of embedded Sc3C2@C80 were associated with the gas adsorption performance of Py-COF. In contrast to traditional adsorption isotherm measurements, this implantable nano spin sensor could probe gas adsorption and desorption with in situ, real-time monitoring. The proposed nano spin sensor was also employed to probe the gas adsorption performance of a metal-organic framework (MOF-177), demonstrating its versatility. The nano spin sensor is thus applicable for quantum sensing and precision measurements.

Inhibiting redox-mediated endothelial migration by gadofullerenes for inducing tumor vascular normalization and improving chemotherapy.

Tumor vascular normalization (TVN) reverses abnormal tumor vasculatures, which could boost anti-cancer efficiency and especially increase drug intratumoral delivery. Endothelial cells play a vital role in angiogenesis, yet continuous modulating endothelial cell migration to improve TVN is ingenious but challenging. Here we propose a potential strategy for TVN based on inhibiting endothelial migration using antioxidative fullerene nanoparticles (FNPs). We demonstrate that FNPs inhibit cell migration upon their anti-oxidation effects in vitro. The optimized alanine-modified gadofullerene (GFA) exhibits superior TVN ability and inhibits tumor growth in vivo. Mechanically, facilitated with the protein microarray, we confirm that GFA could suppress the focal adhesion pathway to restrain endothelial migration. Subsequently, remarkable anti-tumor efficacy of chemotherapy synergy was obtained, which benefited from a more normalized vascular network by GFA. Together, our study introduces the potential of FNPs as promising TVN boosters to consider in cancer nanomedicine design.

Metal-Free Peroxidase-Mimetic Nanocatalysts for Chemodynamic Vascular-Disrupting Cancer Therapy.

Metal ion-facilitated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging method for treating cancer. However, its potential is hindered by its low catalytic performance in weakly acidic tumor microenvironments (TMEs) and the severe toxicity of free metal ions. A new approach to tumor therapy, chemodynamic vascular disruption (CVD), is introduced using metal-free, peroxidase (POD)-mimetic multihydroxylated [70] fullerene (MHF) nanocatalysts. The research shows that MHF contains C···O active sites, as demonstrated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and converts H2 O2 into ∙OH across a pH range of 6.0-10.0. The generation of ∙OH and the dismantling of tumor blood vessels are observed in real-time using mouse dorsal skin-fold chamber (DSFC) models. Applying proteomics, it is discovered that the CVD mechanism involves the nanocatalytic MHF enhancing H2 O2 decomposition in the TME, producing ∙OH. This damages tumor vascular endothelial junction proteins, causing vascular leakage and subsequently cutting off the vascular supply to the tumor cells. This method deviates from the traditional CDT that targets tumor cells. Instead, the proficient MHF nanocatalysts aim to directly disrupt the tumor vasculature, enhancing anti-tumor efficiency without triggering harmful toxicity. The proposed CVD therapeutic strategy enhances the application of gentle carbon nanocatalysts in cancer therapy, offering new perspectives on nanocatalytic medicine.

Efficiently normalizing leukopoiesis by gadofullerene nanoparticles to ameliorate radiation-triggered myelosuppression.

Myelosuppression is a predominant side-effect of radiotherapy, which manifests as the lower activity of blood cell precursors in bone marrow. Though progress in anti-myelosuppression has been made by the application of growth factors e.g., the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), the side-effects (e.g., bone-pain, liver injury, and lung toxicity) limit their applications in clinic. Herein, we developed a strategy of efficiently normalizing leukopoiesis using gadofullerene nanoparticles (GFNPs) against myelosuppression triggered by radiation. Specifically, GFNPs with high radical-scavenging abilities elevated the generation of leukocytes and alleviated the bone marrow's pathological state under myelosuppression. Notably, GFNPs potentiated the differentiation, development, and maturation of leukocytes (neutrophils, lymphocytes) in radiation bearing mice even better than what G-CSF did. In addition, GFNPs had little toxicity towards the main organs including the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney. This work provides an in-depth understanding of how advanced nanomaterials mitigate myelosuppression by regulating leukopoiesis.
