Autocrine GDF10 Inhibits Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation via BMPR2/ALK3 Receptor to Prevent Liver Fibrosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Liver fibrosis is a growing global health burden with no specific treatment. HSC activation is the predominant driver of liver fibrogenesis and the current focus in antifibrotic drug discovery. This study identifies autocrine GDF10 activates BMPR2/ALK3‐SMAD1/5/8‐SMAD7 pathway to counteract the TGF‐β‐SMAD2/3 pathway in HSCs, thereby inhibiting HSC ...

Injectable and Sprayable Thermoresponsive Hydrogel with Fouling‐Resistance as an Effective Barrier to Prevent Postoperative Cardiac Adhesions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Postoperative cardiac adhesions lead to numerous difficulties in reoperation procedures. Here, a thermo‐responsive in situ formed hydrogel is shown to can reliably cover the wounds after a convenient spraying or injection and significantly reduce adhesion formation in primary and recurrent cardiac injury adhesion models.

Polymer Brush‐Based Asymmetric Porous Patch with Excellent Anti‐Bacterial and Anti‐Contamination Properties Enables Infectious Abdominal Wall Defect Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A zwitterionic asymmetric patch is developed via self‐induced phase separation. The cationic layer exhibits anti‐bacterial efficacy and releases pro‐healing factor, while the zwitterionic hydrogel prevents contamination and visceral adhesion. The strong mechanical interlocking of two layers leads to a high and stable burst pressure tolerance.

Calpain‐2‐Mediated Endothelial Focal Adhesion Disruption in Thoracic Aortic Dissection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The elevated expression of Capn2 in endothelial cells activates focal adhesion signaling by cleaving Talin1 and assembling Itgav, which compromises the integrity of the endothelial barrier and induces vascular inflammation. Inhibition of calpain through both pharmacological and transgenic approaches has effectively suppressed the onset and progression ...

Highly Absorbent Ultrafast Self‐Gelling Starch Microparticles for Robust Wet‐Tissue Adhesion and Instant Hemostasis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The aldehyde‐ and catechol‐modified starch (ACS) microparticle (MP) is developed by chemical modifications and freeze‐milling after calcium intercalation for highly absorbent and tissue‐adhesive properties. The ACS‐MP can be self‐gelled upon contact with biological fluids and blood on tissue surfaces, rapidly absorbing them and achieving robust wet ...
