LRRC8A Regulates Outer Hair Cell Volume and Electromotility and is Required for Hearing
This study identifies LRRC8A‐dependent volume‐regulated anion channels (VRACs) as essential for cochlear outer hair cells' electromotility and auditory signal amplification. LRRC8A deficiency disrupts cell volume control, impairs auditory sensitivity, and causes deafness, while targeted LRRC8A re‐expression restores auditory function.

HIFU‐Driven Targeted Pyroptosis Therapy in Basal‐Like Breast Cancer
This study presents a HIFU‐driven pyroptosis strategy for BLBC treatment. Combining HIFU with platelet‐membrane hybridized liposomes encapsulating mitoxantrone enhances tumor targeting and efficacy. The synergistic treatment modulates key epigenetic regulators and activates the pyroptotic pathway through ROS generation and inflammasome signaling ...

In this study, C‐TAH, as multifunctional nanosheets, is developed with tannic acid and histone aptamer coverage. C‐TAH displays mild cytotoxicity, robust dsDNA and NETs/EETs binding efficiency, and potent antioxidant and antibacterial ability in vitro. C‐TAH treatment ameliorates dysregulated inflammation and restores hearing function in animal models,
