Beyond Natural Synthesis via Solar-Decoupled Biohybrid Photosynthetic System

Beyond Natural Synthesis via Solar-Decoupled Biohybrid Photosynthetic System

Academic Background Photosynthetic microorganisms can directly convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into high value-added long-chain chemicals by converting solar energy into chemical energy, providing a promising route for CO₂ sequestration and sustainable development. However, the key reducing power generated in photosynthetic reactions—nicotinamide aden...

Antigen Spatial-Matching Polyaptamer Nanostructure to Block Coronavirus Infection and Alleviate Inflammation

Academic Background In recent years, multiple outbreaks caused by coronaviruses have occurred globally, such as SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome), and COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia). These pandemics have not only posed a serious threat to human health but also exposed the inadequacy of emergen...

Cluster-Based Redox-Responsive Super-Atomic MRI Contrast Agents

Academic Background Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a crucial tool in modern medical diagnostics, and its effectiveness relies heavily on the use of contrast agents (CAs). Traditional MRI contrast agents are mainly based on gadolinium (Gd) complexes. Although these agents are widely used in clinical practice, their long-term safety is controver...

De Novo Luciferases Enable Multiplexed Bioluminescence Imaging

De Novo Luciferases Enable Multiplexed Bioluminescence Imaging

Academic Background Bioluminescence technology is a highly sensitive and non-invasive imaging technique, enabling real-time monitoring in living organisms without the need for external light sources. Luciferase is the key enzyme that catalyzes the light-emitting reaction, but natural luciferases face multiple limitations, such as poor protein foldi...

Hybrid Photoanodes Based on Surface-Bound Host-Guest Molecular Assemblies

Academic Background In the field of solar energy conversion, molecular catalysts have attracted significant attention due to their high activity and structural tunability. However, most molecular catalysts operate under homogeneous conditions, which are not favorable for large-scale and recyclable utilization. Therefore, immobilizing molecular cata...
