Differential bioreactivity of neutral, cationic and anionic polystyrene nanoparticles with cells from the human alveolar compartment: robust response of alveolar type 1 epithelial cells [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Engineered nanoparticles (NP) are being developed for inhaled drug delivery. This route is non-invasive and the major target; alveolar epithelium provides a large surface area for drug administration and absorption, without first pass ...

Elevated levels of the plasticizer DEHP associate with earlier breast cancer diagnosis. DEHP enhances glutamine‐powered energy production via the transporter SLC6A14 and pushes mitochondria toward fusion, driving tumor initiation by boosting cancer stemness. Blocking SLC6A14 lowers stemness, slows tumors, and improves chemotherapy response.

The nitrite anion: the key intermediate in alkyl nitrates degradative mechanism. [PDF]
Alkyl nitrates, _in vivo_, are metabolized to yield nitric oxide, and thiol groups are considered necessary cofactors. This statement is based on studies that underline how these species potentiate hemodynamic responsiveness to nitrates in patients with ...

In this study, a multifunctional iron‐copper metal–organic framework nanozyme platform co‐delivering chloroquine and perfluorohexane is engineered to circumvent tumor immune evasion by disrupting autophagic flux and restoring major histocompatibility complex class I presentation. This dual‐action nanoplatform orchestrates synergistic autophagy blockade

N-acetylcysteine serves as substrate of 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase and stimulates sulfide metabolism in colon cancer cells [PDF]
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously produced signaling molecule. The enzymes 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (MST), partly localized in mitochondria, and the inner mitochondrial membrane-associated sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQR), besides

The detection of secreted biomarkers enables molecular variations monitoring of organoid status. In this study, the non‐destructive quantification for the whole‐course growth and drug‐response of PDOs is first realized using a multifunctional microfluidic chip‐based system(ASMO) that integrates culturing, drug incubation, and biomarker detection ...

Nanoscopic Mapping of the Extracellular Space in Amyloid Plaque‐rich Cortex
The extracellular space and diffusion around amyloid plaques are examined using shadow imaging and single‐particle tracking. Increased diffusivity is found near plaques, extracellular matrix alterations, and plaque core penetrability that varies with amyloid phenotype.
