Ferritin‐Nanocaged Aggregation‐Induced Emission Drug Vitexin Inhibits Ferroptosis to Treat Asthenozoospermia (Adv. Funct. Mater. 16/2026)
Abstract
AIE Pharmacology The cover represents a seed of “AIE-Pharmacology” sown in the barren field of male infertility. Its roots are ferritin nanocages (HFn) for delivery, its stem is the natural therapeutic Vitexin, and it blooms into a flower of intense AIE fluorescence, enabling intrinsic theranostics. This luminous plant simultaneously visualizes and repairs the impaired spermatogenic environment, heralding a new paradigm for precise treatment.
