The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex network of biomolecules with varying pore sizes, posing a challenge for the effective penetration of lipid nanoparticles. In contrast, cell-derived lipid nanoparticles, such as exosomes, have demonstrated the ability to travel to distant organs, indicating their capacity to penetrate the ECM. Here, we designed exosome-like vesicles (ELVs) inspired by exosomes' distinct transport phenomena. Specifically, we integrated three exosomal components (anionic lipid, cholesterol, and aquaporin-1) associated with transport into our ELVs to mimic the superior diffusion behavior of exosomes over synthetic lipid nanoparticles. Surprisingly, both bulk- and single-particle-diffusion studies revealed a more than 33 times increase in the effective diffusion coefficient within model ECM compared to conventional lipid nanoparticles. Furthermore, ELVs show an 80% increase in the effective diffusion coefficient within biological tissues. The excellent transport behavior of ELVs was further validated <i>in vivo</i>, where intratumoral injection showcased their superior transport. These findings provide insights into lipid nanoparticle design for improved tissue penetration.

Non-apoptotic cell death have emerged as promising strategies to overcome apoptotic resistance in cancer therapy. We suggest a hybrid gene delivery platform integrating adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated expression of receptor-interacting kinase 3(RIPK3) with manganese dioxide-polyethyleneimine (MnO<sub>2</sub>-PEI) to induce necroptosis and immunogenic cell death (ICD), thereby remodeling the tumor microenvironment and enhancing antitumor immunity. This platform combines high transduction efficiency with the tumor-accumulation ability and immunostimulatory potential of non-viral carriers. The MnO<sub>2</sub>-PEI nanosheets shields AAV from immune and hepatic clearance, thus enhancing tumor accumulation. This addresses a key limitation of naked AAV delivery. Simultaneously, the AAV payload offsets non-viral systems' low gene delivery efficiency. The platform induces robust damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMP) and tumor antigen release, thereby promoting dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T cell infiltration. Furthermore, Mn²⁺-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) amplify ferroptosis and, in conjunction with RIPK3-mediated necroptosis, remodel the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by promoting M1 macrophage polarization and a Th1-type immune response. In tumor re-challenge models, AAV/MnO<sub>2</sub>-PEI-treated mice exhibited durable antitumor immunity, thereby highlighting the potential of platform to establish long-term immune memory. This hybrid delivery system provides a potent strategy for synergistic cancer immunotherapy, effectively overcoming the limitations of both viral and non-viral vectors.

CMOS를 이용하여 양자 컴퓨팅을 모사한 Simulated Quantum Annealing 하드웨어 가속기 구현
본 과제는 IoT로 생기는 방대한 데이터에서 최적의 조합을 찾는 최적화 문제를 더 빠르고 정확하게 처리하려는 연구임. 연구목표는 Quantum Annealing의 장점(빠른 수렴, Local minimum 회피)을 CMOS 기반으로 살린 Simulated Quantum Annealing(SQA) 하드웨어 가속기 구현에 있음. 연구내용은 p-bit를 이용해 d차원 양자 스핀 시스템을 d+1차원 Ising system으로 모사하며, Thermal Annealing의 속도·정확성 한계와 Quantum Annealing의 극저온·전력 제약을 보완하는 구조로 구현함. 기대효과는 최적화 문제 적용 범위 확대로, CMOS Scalability 기반 성능 향상을 기대하는 점에 있음.
