Non-invasive optoacoustic imaging of glycogen-storage and muscle degeneration in late-onset Pompe disease
Nature CommunicationsPompe disease (PD) is a rare autosomal recessive glycogen storage disorder that causes proximal muscle weakness and loss of respiratory function. While enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is the only effective treatment, biomarkers for disease monitoring ...Lina Tan, Jana Zschüntzsch, Stefanie Meyer, Alica Stobbe, Hannah Bruex, Adrian P.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.We measure the cell‐specific responses of administering infusible ECM (iECM) in acute myocardial infarction (MI) across multiple timepoints. Using single‐nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we measure macrophage activation, fibroblast remodeling, increased vascular development, lymphangiogenesis, cardioprotection, and neurogenesis ...Joshua M.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study presents guanidinium‐ and indole‐functionalized polyphosphoesters as degradable, non‐viral gene delivery vectors. Through precise tuning of charge density and hydrophobicity, these polymers form stable polyplexes with low toxicity. Remarkably, minor structural changes yield up to 200‐fold differences in transfection efficiency, highlighting ...Markus Kötzsche, Andreas Dzierza, Jan Egger, Timo Rheinberger, Christin Weilandt, Frederik R.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study evaluates 3D‐printed recombinant spider silk hydrogel eADF4(C16)‐RGD in a rat AV loop model for tissue engineering. Constructs with T17b endothelial progenitor cells showed enhanced vascularization and biodegradation. Results highlight the importance of scaffold design and cellular integration in improving vascular density and overall ...Claire M. Weinhold, Stefanie Heltmann‐Meyer, Xuen J.

GeriatricsBackground: Advances in diagnosis and treatment have led to a growing population of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). Despite increasing life expectancy, their clinical needs—especially in older age—remain poorly defined.Ann-Sophie Kaemmerer-Suleiman, Frank Harig, Annika Freiberger, Oliver Dewald, Stephan Achenbach, Aysenur Akyol, Helena Dreher, Anna Engel, Peter Ewert, Sebastian Freilinger, Jürgen Hörer, Christopher Hohmann, Stefan Holdenrieder, Robert David Pittrow, Harald Kaemmerer, Renate Kaulitz, Frank Klawonn, Christian Meierhofer, Steffen Montenbruck, Nicole Nagdyman, Rhoia Neidenbach, Elsa Ury, Leonard Bernhard Pittrow, Benjamin Alexander Pittrow, Fabian von Scheidt, Nicole Wolfrum, Michael Huntgeburth, Pelagija Zlatic, Mathieu N.

Nature CommunicationsTo date, our understanding of how HIV infection impacts vaccine-induced cellular immunity is limited. Here, we investigate inflammation, immune activation and antigen-specific T cell responses in HIV-uninfected and antiretroviral-treated HIV-infected ...Melissa Kießling, John J.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A new quantum sensing modality detects shifts in zero‐field splitting caused by charge rearrangement with diamond nanocrystals in response to cellular activity. These electric‐field‐driven effects provide an alternative to temperature‐based interpretations, enabling real‐time, single‐cell readout of inflammation.Uri Zvi, Shivam Mundhra, David Ovetsky, Qing Chen, Aidan R.
