new Congratulations! Professor Chen has been elected as a member of the Academia Europaea.



Rationale: The clinical treatment of epilepsy is faced with challenges. On the one hand, the effectiveness of existing antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is limited by the blood‒brain barrier (BBB); on the other hand, changes in the inflammatory microenvironment during epileptogenesis are often neglected. Methods: The death-associated protein kinase 1 inhibitor TC-DAPK6 and the fluorescent probe rhodamine B were encapsulated in hollow mesoporous silica nanocarriers (HMSNs), which were then coated with a macrophage membrane to prepare macrophage membrane-biomimetic nanoparticles, namely, MA@RT-HMSNs.....
Background: With the rising global incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer, early diagnosis is becoming increasingly crucial. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends mammography as a primary screening tool. However, despite its clinical benefits, mammography has potential risks including radiation exposure, unnecessary follow-up, and overdiagnosis due to false positives, particularly in cases of early cancer or dense breast tissue. In this study, we aimed to address these concerns by introducing an innovative diagnostic method that employs circulating biomarkers to enhance the existing....
