Efficacy and safety of azvudine versus nirmatrelvir/ritonavir in cancer patients with COVID-19

Scientific Reports
Cancer significantly contributes to the unfavorable prognosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. The efficacy and safety of azvudine and nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid) in cancer patients with COVID-19 remain uncertain.

Naphthalimide-polyamine conjugates: a promising avenue for targeted anticancer therapy

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry Reports
Although chemotherapy is fundamental in cancer therapy, its effectiveness is restricted by systemic toxicity and drug resistance. By combining DNA intercalation, topoisomerase inhibition, and tumor microenvironment modulation, naphthalimide-polyamine ...

How “Green” is Your Functional Material? Assessing Environmental Impacts of Multi‐Step Synthetic Protocols in Material Sciences at Various Technology Levels

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental Synthesis Radar (ESR) evaluates the environmental impact of (early‐stage) multi‐step chemical syntheses, providing a holistic view by using 18 midpoint impact categories. Unlike conventional life‐cycle assessment (LCA) approaches, ESR reveals three complementary metrics: overall impact Vtotal, environmental hotspots VEF, and critical ...

Sophora alopecuroides biflavones glycoside, isolated from Sophora alopecuroides, inhibits the secretion of hepatitis B virus surface antigen through direct interaction with its antigenic loop domain

Virology Journal
Background High levels of circulating hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) contribute to the dysfunction of the host immune response against HBV and the persistence of viral infection.

Antibody‐Precomplexed Hemagglutinin Constructs Multivalently Bind Sialylated Glycan Receptors with Variable Valencies

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Hemagglutinin precomplexation with antibodies (Abs) results in broad valency distributions, though it increases the total avidity from mM to nM to high nM. The valency distribution and the orientation of multivalent HA‐Ab complexes determine the extent of binding to different types of assays, whether the receptors are displayed in 2D or 3D.

Hydro‐ and Lipophilicity of Molecular‐Size‐Controlled Hydrogel Drug Carriers

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We investigate nano‐sized hydrogel drug carriers with tailored hydro‐ and lipophilicity. We design their encapsulation and structure‐forming capabilities and follow them in real time during fabrication using time‐resolved and in situ grazing incidence x‐ray scattering.

Deep Contrastive Learning for High‐Throughput Prediction of Drug Resistance Mutations from Sequences

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents DeepMutDTA, a deep learning framework aimed at predicting mutation‐induced changes in protein‐drug interactions and prioritizing variants potentially linked to drug resistance. Trained on large‐scale data, it incorporates SimSiam‐MuTF, a label‐aware contrastive fine‐tuning strategy that encourages separation between WT and MT ...

Innate Immunocompetent hiPSC‐Derived Neurospheroids Capture Early CNS Responses to rAAV

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Knowledge of human CNS immune responses to AAV‐based gene therapies remains limited due to the lack of immune‐competent human models. Here, a hiPSC‐derived 3D neuroimmune platform integrating neurospheroids and microglia is established using stirred‐tank bioreactors.
