In July, 2021
Radiotherapy-induced Cleavage Chemistry in vivo, PhD thesis of Dr. Qunfeng Fu, was awarded as the Peking University Outstanding Dissertation. Dr. Fu explored and developed a series of novel radiation-driven cleavage reactions in vivo from multiple perspectives to achieve the controlled release of chemotherapeutic agents driven by nuclear radiation, paving the way for precise radiation-induced chemotherapy, becoming a great leap in cancer treatment.

Chunhong Wang’s work titled “Cationic Micelle-Catalyzed In Vivo Cleavage Chemistry” published online in Angewandte Chemie (DOI: 10.1002/anie.202106526). In contrast to the classical in vivo reactions regulation strategy, Liu's group selectively up-regulated the rate constant of the desilylation reaction in tumor by introducing cationic micelles as an "in vivo catalyst" from a new novel perspective.

Micelle-catalyzed Phe-BF3-mediated desilylation enabled controlled release of functional molecules and is remarkably faster than that without micellar catalysis.

Dongban Duan’s work titled “Desilylation Induced by Metal Fluoride Nanocrystals Enables Cleavage Chemistry In Vivo” published online in J. Am. Chem. Soc. (DOI: 10.1021/jacs.0c10399). Liu’s group take CaF2 as an example to show that the metal fluoride nanocrystals could release adequate F- to trigger the desilylation chemistry both in vitro and in vivo, empowering metal fluoride nanocrystals with a new function of perturbing or activating for biological applications.

Yaxin shi’s work titled “Tracing Boron with Fluorescence and Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of Boronated Porphyrin Nanocomplex for Imaging-Guided Boron Neutron Capture Therapy” published online in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces (DOI: 10.1021/acsami.8b14682)
Taking the advantage of the nanodrug delivery system, a novel boronated porphyrin nanocomplex was developed by Liu’s group, providing a successful approach in boronated porphyrin delivery for imaging-guided BNCT.

25 January 2018: Dongban Duan’s work titled “Activating TiO2 Nanoparticles: Gallium-68 Serves as a High-Yield Photon Emitter for Cerenkov-Induced Photodynamic Therapy” published online in ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces. (DOI: 10.1021/acsami.7b17902). This study proved that Ga-68 is a more potent radionuclide for photodynamic therapy than F-18 both in vitro and in vivo, giving a promising strategy of using a diagnostic dose of radioactivity to achieve depth-independent cancer therapy without using any external light source.
