Research on QDs/hydrogel composites is progressing rapidly with wide applications in health, energy, and environment. Synthetic strategies are classified based on preparative sequence, and the latest applications in sensing, particularly fluorescence sensing, are summarized.
The development of advanced materials relies on an innovative combination of two completely different materials. Loading quantum dots (QDs) into a three-dimensional (3D) network of hydrogels has proved to be a win-win strategy to enhance the synergy of the components. The resulting new QDs/hydrogel composites have a wide range of applications in important fields such as health, energy and environment. Herein, we review recent research progress of QDs/hydrogel composites. Synthetic strategies are classified into different categories according to the preparative sequence, a relatively more practical perspective, between the QDs and hydrogel. In addition, we summarize the latest applications of these nanocomposites (NCs) in the sensing field, with a focus on fluorescence sensing. We hope that this review can provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding on this composite system quickly so that they can choose the most suitable preparation method or sensing scheme based on actual conditions and requirements to obtain QDs/hydrogel composites with optimal performance.

Triple-Combination Immunogenic Nanovesicles Reshape the Tumor Microenvironment to Potentiate Chemo-Immunotherapy in Preclinical Cancer Models

Xiaowei Shi, Liwei Shu, Minwen Wang, Jie Yao, Qigu Yao, Suchen Bian, Xiaona Chen, Jianqin Wan, Fu Zhang, Shusen Zheng, Hangxiang Wang

Summary: Immune checkpoint blockade therapies have made a significant impact on cancer treatment, but many patients do not respond to these therapies. Researchers have developed a combination chemoimmunotherapy nanosystem that includes a gemcitabine prodrug nanoparticle decorated with an anti-PD-L1 antibody and a STING agonist. This nanosystem enhances drug delivery to ICB-refractory tumors, activates CD8+ T cell responses, and transforms low-immunogenic tumors into inflamed tumors. In multiple mouse tumor models, the triple-combination nanovesicles induce a strong antitumor immune response and result in regression of large tumors and reduction in metastatic burden. These findings provide a basis for developing chemoimmunotherapeutic strategies for treating ICB-nonresponsive tumors.

Prediction of phosphate adsorption amount, capacity and kinetics via machine learning: A generally physical-based process and proposed strategy of using descriptive text messages to enrich datasets

Baiqin Zhou, Huiping Li, Ziyu Wang, Hui Huang, Yujun Wang, Ruichun Yang, Ranran Huo, Xiaoyan Xu, Ting Zhou, Xiaochen Dong

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
