Advanced Dental Composite Technology via Bisilanized Dual‐Action Nanofillers for Biofilm Control

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 36, 29 June 2026.
A multimodal research strategy has led to the development of an innovative resin‐based composite (RBC) with dual antibacterial action. The S_CM‐RBC formula showed strong antibiofilm activity, excellent mechanical strength, and biosafety. It effectively controlled oral bacteria in prevention of caries recurrence, and maintained pulp health in a rat ...

The GntR/VanR transcription regulator AlkR represses AlkB2 monooxygenase expression and regulates n‐alkane degradation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa SJTD‐1

mLife
Transmembrane alkane monooxygenase (AlkB)‐type monooxygenases, especially AlkB2 monooxygenases, are crucial for aerobic degradation of the medium‐to‐long‐chain n‐alkanes in hydrocarbon‐utilizing microorganisms.

Glucuronolactone Promotes Mucin Sulfation to Alleviate Deoxynivalenol‐Induced Intestinal Injury via Microbiota‐Dependent and ‐Independent AHR Activation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Glucuronolactone (GLU) as a natural metabolite of glucose, increases Lactobacillus amylovorus abundance and luminal IAA level to activate AHR signaling. In addition, GLU itself can directly elevate AHR signaling activity independently of microbiota and IAA.

METTL16 Promotes Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Progression via m6A‐Mediated Stabilization of SREBP2 mRNA and Enhanced Cholesterol Biosynthesis

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modification is a crucial epigenetic event in the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we show that methyltransferase‐like 16 (METTL16) expression is elevated in the tumor tissues of patients with HNSCC and is associated with poor prognosis.
