Summary: Radiotherapy is an important treatment for malignant tumors, but tumor resistance and damage to healthy tissues limit its efficacy. Developing novel radioenhancers and radioprotectants is crucial for improving clinical radiotherapy. Nanozymes have shown great potential in radiation medicine due to their multi-enzyme activities and microenvironment-responsive feature. This review systematically illustrates the progress of nanozymes in potentiating radiotherapy and radiation protection, including promoting reactive oxygen species generation, relieving tumor hypoxia, and preventing radiation-induced damage.

Summary: This study analyzed the long-term effects of radiation on the efficacy of molecular targeted drugs, finding that irradiation led to changes in gene expression and protein phosphorylation in cells, along with increased activation of several pathways regulating important cell functions. Cells that survived irradiation showed long-term upregulation and increased activity of multiple molecular targets, and exhibited different sensitivity to various molecular targeted drugs.

Summary: Curcumin, an agent with antineoplastic properties, can serve as both a radiosensitizer for cancer cells and a radioprotector for normal cells during radiation therapy. Although the evidence is limited to in vivo and in vitro experiences without clinical trials, promoting supplementation with curcumin during RT is reasonable due to its low risk of adverse effects, aiming to reduce side effects through anti-inflammatory mechanisms.

Summary: This study evaluated the radiosensitizing effect of 50 nm gold nanoparticles (GNPs) on two neoplastic cell lines. The GNPs were found to increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to radiation, with functionalized GNPs exhibiting a higher effect. However, the heterogeneity between cell lines makes it difficult to describe the magnitude of this effect.

Summary: A Te heterostructure (BTe-Pd-Au) was designed and synthesized to enhance the generation and separation of h(+)-e(-) pairs, thereby improving the ROS producing ability and photothermal conversion efficiency. Combining radiophotothermal therapy with BTe-Pd-Au-R effectively eliminated tumors and triggered antitumor immune responses in a mouse model of colon cancer. This study demonstrates the potential of Te-driven heterostructures for versatile performance in radiosensitization, photothermal therapy, and immunomodulation for treating colon cancer.

Summary: Researchers have developed hafnium-based nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (Hf-nMOFs) loaded with 3-bromopyruvate (3-BrPA) to overcome resistance to radiation therapy and improve its effectiveness. The Hf-nMOFs enhance the deposition of X-rays, leading to stronger DNA damage, while the loaded 3-BrPA reduces energy supply and interferes with protein biosynthesis, decreasing DNA damage repair. This strategy enhances the curative effect of radiation therapy and provides new perspectives on cancer treatment by reducing radiation doses.

Summary: Radiation therapy is commonly used to treat cancer and has different success rates for different types of tumors. It has been found that radiation treatment can affect the human microbiota and the imbalance of microbiota can worsen the side effects caused by radiation therapy and affect its effectiveness. Antibiotics used in cancer treatment can also affect the interaction between radiation and microbiota, thus influencing the outcomes of radiation therapy. Therefore, it is important to use probiotics or other agents to stabilize the healthy microbiota before patients undergo radiation therapy.

Summary: This study proposes a new treatment model for glioblastoma (GBM) using a safe and non-toxic drug-releasing composite Nanofiber mesh (NFM). The NFM combines chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, and radiotherapy in a highly simultaneous manner. The combination of temozolomide (TMZ) and 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17AAG) in the NFM showed synergistic cytotoxicity and radiation-sensitization effects. The NFM has the potential to address the challenge of high recurrence of GBM post-operatively due to its sustained drug release.

Summary: In this study, a drug formulation based on lactic acid bacteria (LAB) was developed to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tumors and induce host immunity. The LAB were modified with zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) and effectively delivered into tumor cells, leading to the generation of ROS upon light exposure. The bacterial hybrid induced tumor shrinkage through photodynamic therapy and stimulated inflammation to attract immune cells for cancer elimination.

Summary: All-optical switches have attracted significant attention due to their ultrafast speed compared to electric switches. The exceptional optical properties and strong interaction of two-dimensional (2D) material MXene indicate its great potential in next-generation all-optical switching. In this study, we propose using Au/MXene for all-optical switching with a switching full width at half maximum (FWHM) operating at 290 fs. Compared to pure MXene, the Au/MXene exhibits outstanding performances, such as broadband differential transmission and strong enhancement in near-infrared on/off ratio, due to local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Importantly, this research demonstrates a red shift of approximately 34 nm in the ultrafast all-optical switching of Au/MXene compared to MXene, validating its all-optical properties and paving the way for optical interconnection and optical switching.

Summary: The study developed a composite photocatalyst consisting of 2D layered Ti3C2, thiolate-protected Au clusters, and TiO2 nanoparticles. The introduced Ti3C2 served as an intermedium for electron transfer and significantly improved the charge transfer efficiency. The resulting Au/Ti3C2/TiO2 photocatalyst exhibited excellent performance for H-2 production, with a rate 13.7 times higher than Au/TiO2. The strong interaction between Ti3C2 and Au/TiO2 also contributed to the high stability and durability of the composite material.

Summary: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have great potential for chemiresistive gas sensors. However, TMD alloys with tunable electronic structures have not been extensively studied in gas sensing. In this study, Mo0.5W0.5S2 alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared and tested for ammonia sensing. The results showed that the Mo0.5W0.5S2 NPs exhibited good response to ammonia with a low detection limit of 500 ppb. The sensor also demonstrated excellent stability and selectivity to ammonia in the presence of interferences.

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.
