Repurposing FDA‐Approved Drugs to Inhibit Fungal PPTases for Broad‐Spectrum Synergy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fungal secondary metabolites serve as crucial virulence effectors; however, the potential of their biosynthetic pathways as antifungal targets remains inadequately comprehended. Repurposed FDA‐approved drugs inhibit fungal PPTase (essential for secondary metabolism) in vivo.

Targeting the NR1D1–IGF2BP2–V‐ATPase Axis With Hybrid Nanovesicles Restores Macrophage Rhythms to Reverse Sepsis‐Induced Immunosuppression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sepsis disrupts immune‐cell rhythms and weakens bacterial clearance. Biomimetic nanovesicles combining erythrocyte and inflammation‐activated macrophage membranes deliver siNR1D1 to dysfunctional macrophages, restoring the NR1D1–IGF2BP2–V‐ATPase pathway, circadian regulation, phagolysosomal acidification, and antimicrobial defense.

Vitamin D and innate immunity in pneumonia and COPD [PDF]

, 2010
A resurgence of interest in vitamin D research has led to the discovery that it plays a role in an unexpectedly large number of biological processes, and that reduced levels of this hormone are implicated in a range of diseases.

Symbiont‐Induced HSP83 Establishes Two‐Tiered Control of Antifungal Immunity in an Invasive Beetle–Fungus Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In an invasive beetle–fungus complex, the mutualist Leptographium procerum induces host HSP83 and modulates Toll‐dependent antifungal immunity. HSP83 mediates two‐tiered control by associating with selected fungal recognition receptors and restraining Dorsal‐driven antimicrobial peptide transcription.

Reversing Macrophage Immunometabolic Dysfunction in Prolonged Infections Via a Glutaminolysis‐Fueled Restoration‐Based Hierarchically Selective Therapeutic System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hierarchically selective immunotherapeutic nanoplatform, mGls@HEV‐MTP, selectively restores macrophage immunocompetence through GLS1‐mediated restoration of glutaminolysis‐fueled anaplerosis. Concurrently, it renders Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) more readily recognizable to the metabolically reprogrammed macrophages, thereby facilitating ...

D4F‐Functionalized Ceria Nanozyme‐CasRx Platform Suppresses STING and Reprograms the Renal Immune Niche in Acute Kidney Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
D4F‐functionalized ceria nanozyme–CasRx nanoparticles preferentially target renal macrophages through SR‐B1‐mediated uptake in ischemia–reperfusion injury. Ceria scavenges excessive ROS, while CasRx silences STING signaling, shifting macrophages toward a less inflammatory, pro‐resolving state and increasing the proportion of regulatory T cells.

Glucocorticoid Receptor Signaling in Myeloid Cells Orchestrates Inflammation Resolution and Muscle Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glucocorticoids (GC) are widely used to reduce inflammation. We show that the glucocorticoid receptor in myeloid cells regulates macrophage cell cycle and genome integrity during muscle regeneration. We demonstrate that dexamethasone administration during the early inflammatory phase delays muscle repair by increasing macrophage proliferation ...

Fumarate Hydratase Lactylation Exacerbates Traumatic Brain Injury Pathology via Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Neuroinflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tian et al. reveal that FH K112 lactylation is elevated after TBI, leading to fumarate accumulation, mitochondrial damage, mtDNA release and amplified neuroinflammation. AARS2 and SIRT3 act as the “writer” and “eraser” for FH K112 lactylation. The peptide Pep‐K112 targeting this site alleviates brain injury, highlighting a potential therapeutic target.
