Studies on the influence of one critical parameter (e.g., size), targeting a specific disease, while keeping other factors unchanged, are important for improving understanding and application of the molecular design of biomedical nanomaterials. In this study, we used doxorubicin (Dox)-conjugated gold nanoparticles (GNPs) to investigate the effects of the size of the gold core (10, 20, or 60 nm) on the performance of their conjugates. We found that all three conjugates differed slightly in their physicochemical properties, facilitating a direct and accurate assessment of the size effects of GNP-Dox conjugates on their in vitro and in vivo performance. The cytological properties (the cell penetration rate and efficiency, as well as the cytotoxicity) and antitumor performance (the intratumoral penetration, treatment efficacy, and biodistribution) were highly correlated to the size of the inorganic core. Among all test groups, although the conjugate with a 60-nm gold core had the highest drug loading and release efficiency, the conjugate with a 10-nm gold core displayed the best antitumor efficacy toward the liver cancer models. This was because it showed the deepest tumor permeability and the highest tumor cell-killing ability of Dox transported by the relatively small GNPs. This study provides important evidence for better understanding the effect of size on in vitro and in vivo properties of potential therapeutic nanosystems and their structure design.

Pneumonia continues to be complicated by its progression to acute lung injury (ALI). The onset of ALI is linked to an overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a severe inflammatory response. Therefore, the rapid mitigation of ROS and inflammation is crucial in addressing ALI. Concurrently, prompt bacterial elimination is necessary for bacteria-induced ALI. Here, a Co-based carbon nanozyme (CN) with enhanced enzyme-like activities is developed by co-doping with a small amount of Mn (CoMn CN). Compared to cobalt CN without Mn co-doping (Co CN), the active sites of Co and its coordination with N in CoMn CN are slightly altered, resulting in enhanced oxidase (OXD)-, peroxidase (POD)-, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-, and catalase (CAT)-like activities. Given the enhanced enzyme-like activities, its applications for lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-induced ALI treatments are explored. CoMn CN demonstrates superior efficacy in both LPS- and MRSA-induced ALI models, effectively combining rapid scavenging of ROS and inflammation with subsequently bacterial elimination. Consequently, a novel type of Co-based CN by Mn co-doping is developed to augment enzyme-like activities, offering significant protective effects against ALI. This study not only broadens the application of Co-based CNs but also shows a promising strategy for ALI therapy.

1. Introduction Cancer continues to be a major cause of global mortality rates, with conventional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy exhibiting inconsistent efficacy, high costs, and considerable side effects. Over the past decade, a promising alternative has emerged: cancer immunotherapy, which leverages the body's immune system to identify and eradicate cancer cells [1].
