In this study, we achieved the Quantum probes' synthesis and surface functionalization by adopting a non-chemical approach using ultrashort laser pulses. We successfully programmed the uptake pathway by tuning the surface functional groups on the Quantum probes, enabling us to effectively direct the probes to distinct subcellular locations to perform specific functions. Tailoring the Quantum probes with favorable surface functional groups is a practical approach to predetermine the intracellular destination. We successfully introduced the mechanism of nanomaterial uptake in preclinical models of CSCs derived from lung cancer and pancreatic cancer, which account for most cancer deaths. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to reveal the complex uptake mechanism of nanoparticles in CSC comprehensively. Given the scarcity and importance of CSCs, it is critical to emphasize the focus on the uptake of nanoparticles in CSC, which will pave the way for next-generation CSC nanomedicine. Studies have established a clear understanding of nanomaterial's uptake mechanism in cancer cells however, the internalization pathway in cancer stem cells remains unclear. Cancer recurrence is predominantly due to this small subpopulation of cells with stem cell properties known as Cancer stem cells (CSCs). Nanomedicine possesses the immense potential to tackle cancer effectively. This work is expected to attract and motivate researchers from different communities to advance the creation and practical application of the “motile-targeting” drug delivery platforms. Following a discussion of the current challenges of each type of MNR in biomedical applications, as well as future prospects, several promising designs for MNRs that could benefit in “motile-targeting” drug delivery are proposed.
After a brief introduction to traditional tumor-targeted drug delivery strategies and various MNRs, the representative applications of MNRs in “motile-targeting” drug delivery are systematically streamlined in terms of the propelling mechanisms. This review focuses on the most recent developments of MNRs in “motile-targeting” drug delivery. Alternatively, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) may act as emerging “motile-targeting” drug delivery platforms to deliver therapeutic payloads, thereby making a giant step toward effective and safe cancer treatment due to their autonomous movement and navigation in biological media. The results highlight the impact of the day/night cycle on high-level sensory processing, demonstrating a direct diurnal impact on the behavioral strategy of the animal.Traditional drug delivery systems opened the gate for tumor-targeted therapy, but they generally took advantage of enhanced permeability and retention or ligand-receptor mediated interaction, and thus suffered from limited recognition range (<0.5 nm) and low targeting efficiency (0.7%, median). Our results exemplify that the shape of visual psychometric functions depends robustly on the diurnal state of the animal, its search strategy, and even its diurnal history of performing the task. Intriguingly, they can switch to the more efficient night strategy even at their subjective day after first having performed the task at night. Instead, we found that mice, as nocturnal animals, use a more efficient search strategy for visual cues at night. The diurnal differences in visual sensitivity did not arise in the retina, as assessed by spike recordings from the most sensitive retinal ganglion cell types: ON sustained, OFF sustained, and OFF transient alpha ganglion cells. We show that visually guided behavior at its sensitivity limit is strongly under diurnal control, reaching the highest sensitivity and stability at night. A simple photon detection task allowed us to link well-defined retinal output signals directly to visually guided behavior.
Here, we study the impact of diurnal rhythm on the sensitivity limit of mouse vision. However, their implications for retinal functions and visually guided behavior are largely unresolved. The retina has its own clock, and many diurnal changes in its physiology have been reported. Circadian clocks predictively adjust the physiology of organisms to the day/night cycle.
