Here, a nanostructure by functional larotaxel liposomes decorated with guanine-rich quadruplex nucleotide-lipid derivative for treatment of resistant breast cancer is developed. The studies are performed on the resistant breast cancer cells and the cancer-bearing mice. The nucleotide-lipid derivative (DSPE-PEG2000 -C6 -GT28nt) is synthesized by introducing a hydrophobic hexyl linkage between GT-28nt (containing 17 guanines and 11 thymidines) and DSPE-PEG2000 -NHS, and is incorporated on the functional larotaxel liposomes for specific binding with nucleolin receptor on the resistant cancer cells. The studies demonstrate that the liposomes had long circulatory effect, targeted capability, and significant anticancer efficacy in resistant cancer-bearing mice. The studies further reveal their action mechanism, consisting of blocking depolymerization of microtubules, arresting cell cycle, blocking JAK-STAT signaling pathway, and inhibiting activity of antiapoptotic proteins. In conclusion, the functional larotaxel liposomes can be used for effective treatment of drug-resistant breast cancer, and this study also offers a novel targeted nanomedicine based on nucleotide-lipid derivative.Transient lymphocytopenia is frequently observed in acute phase of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It remains a concern whether impairment of cellular immunity may be retained after COVID-19. Here, we demonstrate by extensive lymphocyte profiling in 44 adults after mild COVID-19 that cellular immunity is not fundamentally altered in convalescent patients. Except for increased activated CD8+ lymphocytes, total counts of B, T, and NK cells and their subsets did not differ significantly between patients after COVID-19 and healthy controls after a median of 27 days (range 13-45) suggesting no resi
