Investigation of the combined effects of cannabidiol plus naltrexone on alcohol craving in alcohol dependence: study protocol of a phase II randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial – ICONICplus Trial

BMJ Open
Introduction Alcohol dependence (AD) is highly prevalent and has severe consequences on health and quality of life. However, the efficacy of approved pharmacotherapies such as naltrexone (NTX) remains limited, highlighting the need for novel ...

Harnessing MDM2‐Mediated Targeted Degradation of Transcriptional and Epigenetic Machinery to Disrupt Oncogenic Addictions in Pediatric Sarcoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MDM2 dependency in pediatric sarcomas is driven by a novel p53‐independent oncogenic cistrome alongside canonical p53 pathway suppression. This study introduces MDM2‐recruiting transcriptional and epigenetic machinery degraders (MDM2‐TEMADs) as a novel precision oncology modality.

Spatiotemporal Targeting Randle Cycle and Immune Checkpoint for Potent Antitumor Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A glucose oxidase‐based nanogel (GOX‐NG) system using catechol‐functionalized alginate, exhibits enhanced tumor penetration, prolonged retention, and sustained glucose depletion in the tumor microenvironment. When combined with a fatty acid oxidation inhibitor, it implements dual metabolic suppression, thereby enhancing ROS‐induced immunogenic cell ...

A Biomimetic Dual‐Targeting Nano‐APA‐Editor Reprograms the 3'UTR Landscape for Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils a pathogenic axis in oral cancer where NUDT21 suppresses a tumor suppressor network, prominently PTEN, via 3'UTR lengthening. To exploit this transcriptomic vulnerability, we developed a biomimetic Nano‐APA‐editor. By delivering CRISPR/Cas9, we reprogrammed the global 3'UTR landscape, restoring multi‐target tumor suppression and ...

Cortical Glutamate and GABA Changes During Early Abstinence in Alcohol Dependence and Their Associations With Benzodiazepine Medication

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
In this report, we present cross-sectional and longitudinal findings from single-voxel MEGA-PRESS MRS of GABA as well as Glu, and Glu + glutamine (Glx) concentrations in the ACC of treatment-seeking alcohol-dependent patients (ADPs) during detoxification

Closed‐Loop Decoding and Intervention of Pain: A Novel BMI Strategy Integrating θ‐Band Detection and Mechano‐Electro‐Biological Coupled Hydrogels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A closed‐loop brain–machine interface with a PFAPT hydrogel electrode identifies prefrontal θ‐band as a neuropathic pain biomarker. The hydrogel enables stable 28 d ECoG recording and delivers θ‐triggered cortical stimulation, alleviating pain and affective behaviors in rats via bidirectional regulation of inflammation and central sensitization ...

METTL7A Downregulation Drives SLC1A5‐Mediated Glutamine Competition to Promote Tumor Proliferation and Suppress CD8+ T Cell Immunity in Gastric Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
GC cells enhance glutamine accumulation by upregulating SLC1A5 expression. This upregulation not only boosts GC cell proliferation, but also outcompetes CD8+ T cells for glutamine and suppresses their antitumor immunity. Mechanistically, METTL7A deficiency in GC induces SLC1A5 overexpression via an m6A‐dependent pathway and N‐glycosylation ...
