Bioengineered photosynthetic nanothylakoids reshape the inflammatory microenvironment for rheumatoid arthritis therapy

by

Abstract Reducing individual inflammatory factors does not always translate into clinical efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation. Proinflammatory M1 macrophages are a key driver of the hyperinflammatory joint microenvironment, which also promotes the progression of RA. Here we show that folate-receptor-targeted photosynthetic nanothylakoid (FA-PEG-NTK)-based phototherapy reprogrammes macrophages from M1 … Read more

Nature Nanotechnology https://doi.org/10.1038/s41565-023-01484-2 (2023) In their Article, Sahu et al. report the production of molybdenene (free-standing nanosheets made of Mo atoms) from MoS2 (ref. 1). While their methodology for preparing molybdenene is praiseworthy, the discussion pertaining to the core-level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy … Read more
