Catheter Injectable Multifunctional Biomaterial for the Treatment of Infected Enterocutaneous Fistulas

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A multi‐functional shear‐thinning hydrogel is engineered to treat enterocutaneous fistulas. This hydrogel can resist external pressures allowing it to remain within the fistula tract and is shown to have significant antimicrobial, pro‐healing, and anti‐inflammatory properties, which were validated in in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Real-time Data Driven Precision Estimator for RAVEN-II Surgical Robot End Effector Position [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Surgical robots have been introduced to operating rooms over the past few decades due to their high sensitivity, small size, and remote controllability. The cable-driven nature of many surgical robots allows the systems to be dexterous and lightweight, with diameters as low as 5mm. However, due to the slack and stretch of the cables and the backlash of

Lactobacillus johnsonii Generates Cyclo(pro‐trp) and Promotes Intestinal Ca2+ Absorption to Alleviate CKD–SHPT

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The mechanism map of how L.johnsonii generates cyclo(pro‐trp) to alleviate CKD–SHPT by promoting the expression of CaSR and TRPV4 in IECs, enhancing Ca2+ absorption, and negatively feedback inhibiting iPTH secretion. Abstract Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a high risk of developing secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), which may ...

MMP9High Neutrophils are Critical Mediators of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Formation and Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
During a heart attack, neutrophils rapidly activate and differentiate into a specific subset characterized by high levels of MMP9, a tissue‐damaging enzyme, via the SPI1/CST7 pathway. These neutrophils form harmful net‐like structures (Neutrophil extracellular traps, NETs) that exacerbate heart injury.

Rapid Blood Clot Removal via Remote Delamination and Magnetization of Clot Debris

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A programmable colloidal microswarm is developed to quickly detach blood clots and enable rapid recanalization, with the detached debris functioning as a magnetic “debris‐robot” that can be efficiently propelled and retrieved via catheter suction, which could significantly save time compared to the critical “Golden 6 hours” window for ischemic stroke ...

Diallyl Trisulfide From Garlic Regulates RAB18 Phase Separation to Inhibit Lipophagy and Induce Cuproptosis in Hepatic Stellate Cells for Antifibrotic Effects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Diallyl trisulfides (DATs) selectively induce cuproptosis in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) by targeting Ras‐related protein Rab‐18 (RAB18) and regulating lipophagy. DATs promote RAB18 phase separation, enhance mitochondrial‐associated membrane structures (MAMs) formation, and increase succinylation of dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) at K320.

The Hypoxia‐Associated High‐Risk Cell Subpopulation Distinctly Enhances the Progression of Glioma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study suggests the potential roles of a novel hypoxia‐associated CDC20+KIF20A+PTTG1+ cell subpopulation in glioma progression. This high‐risk glioma cell subpopulation is therapeutically vulnerable to glioma progression and may play important roles in glioma standard‐of‐care therapeutic resistance.

IRF8 Drives Conventional Type 1 Dendritic Cell Differentiation and CD8+ T Cell Activation to Aggravate Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights the critical role of IRF8 in the development of AAA. IRF8 activation promotes the differentiation of cDC1s, which in turn recruit and activate CD8+ T cells, contributing to aortic wall degradation. The study identifies the IRF8‐cDC1‐CD8+ T cell axis as a key pathway in AAA progression, offering new potential therapeutic targets to
