OSU researchers developed an iron-based metal-organic framework nanomaterial that, inside tumor cells, catalyzes both hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen production, delivering a dual ROS attack that eradicated breast cancer tumors in mice with no systemic toxicity and sparing healthy tissue; this chemodynamic therapy approach is being tested on other cancers before advancing to human trials.
OSU researchers developed an iron-based metal‑organic framework nanoagent that triggers two reactive oxygen species—hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen—in cancer cells, causing oxidative stress and tumor death while largely sparing healthy tissue. In mice with human breast cancer, the nanoagent accumulated in tumors, produced ROS, and achieved complete tumor regression without systemic toxicity, suggesting broad applicability pending human trials.
Coperni debuted an innovative Air Swipe bag at Paris Fashion Week, crafted from 99% air and 1% glass, weighing only 33 grams, the same as a light bulb. Partnering with NASA, the Paris-based label used silica aerogel, the lightest solid on Earth, to create the translucent purse, which can hold an iPhone and withstand extreme conditions. The brand's co-founders are known for their state-of-the-art, inventive designs, previously airbrushing a dress onto a model and incorporating robo-dogs into their shows.
