Manipulation of Oxygen Tension in Damaged Regions via Hypoxia‐Induced IPN Hydrogel Microspheres for Intervertebral Disc Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel interpenetrating network hydrogel microsphere (NSC‐Exos@HIMS) is developed to manipulate oxygen tension in damaged regions and recruit endogenous stem cells. In vitro and in vivo results show that NSC‐Exos@HIMS maintains the hypoxia microenvironment for up to 5 days, which triggers nucleus pulposus cell‐like differentiation and enhanced ECM ...

Wogonin Attenuates Atherosclerosis via KLF11‐Mediated Suppression of PPARα‐YAP1‐Driven Glycolysis and Enhancement of ABCA1/G1‐Mediated Cholesterol Efflux

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PPARα promotes KLF11 expression and recruits KLF11 and YAP1 to form a transcription complex, where KLF11 acts as a brake in PPARα‐YAP1‐mediated glycolysis. Wogonin reshapes the metabolism of macrophages from glycolysis to fatty acid oxidation via activation of the PPARα‐KLF11‐YAP1 pathway, by which wogonin reduces inflammation and foam cell formation ...
