Albumin, a highly biocompatible protein, has been utilized in the construction of anti-cancer drugs for the treatment of various cancers. However, albumin-based nanomedicines still face several clinical challenges, including low stability in the bloodstream, non-specific targeting ability, and lack of controlled release capability. To address these limitations, we developed a multiprotein-based nanomedicine for targeted chemot...

Phthalate exposure is widespread and has a global impact. Growing evidence shows that mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP) exposure has a negative impact on human health. However, whether MEHP exposure is associated with mortality and other adverse outcomes in hemodialysis patients remains unknown. This study prospectively enrolled 217 patients on maintenance hemodialysis from June 30, 2021, to August 16, 2022. Baseline serum ME...
