CDK4/6 Inhibition Induces CD8+ T Cell Antitumor Immunity via MIF‐Induced Functional Orchestration of Tumor‐Associated Macrophages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CDK4/6 inhibition promotes CD8+ T cell expansion through tumor‐macrophage crosstalk by activating HIF‐1α and enhancing MIF‐CD44/CD74 signaling. This reprograms TAMs to boost MHC‐I antigen presentation, and CDK4/6 inhibitor‐trained M1 TAM supernatant therapy synergizes with low‐dose PD‐1 blockade to restore antitumor immunity.

Ultrafine Molybdenum Wire Braided Neurointerventional Implants: Bridging Biodegradability and Neurovascular Safety for Stroke Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Molybdenum (Mo), with its unique strength, uniform corrosion, and radiopacity, enables innovative biodegradable implants for transformative stroke therapy. Abstract Neurovascular implants for stroke intervention face a critical dilemma: permanent devices (e.g., nitinol stents, platinum coils) often trigger chronic inflammation and recurrence, whereas ...

Targeted 2‐Deoxy‐D‐Ribose Delivery by Biomimetic Nanoplatform Activates EGFR for Accelerated Heart Valve Endothelialization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a biomimetic nanoplatform using erythrocyte membrane‐camouflaged, CD144 antibody‐functionalized nanoparticles to deliver 2‐deoxy‐D‐ribose (2dDR). This system promotes heart valve endothelialization by enhancing endothelial cell migration and proliferation via EGFR activation, while improving hemocompatibility.

Rare Anatomic Entity Of Quadricuspid Aortic Valve With Aortic Insufficiency: A Case Report

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2007
Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital heart defect that often causes symptomatic aortic insufficiency in adulthood, imposing valve replacement. Herein, we describe one unusual case of QAV which underwent valve replacement uneventfully.

12‐HETE Is an Endogenous Modulator of BLT2 Triggering Vascular Degeneration, Dissection, and Rupture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In thoracic aortic dissection (TAD), elevated levels of the arachidonic acid metabolite 12‐HETE, produced by macrophage‐specific 12/15‐lipoxygenase (12/15‐LOX), bind to the BLT2 receptor on vascular cells. This activates the NOX‐1/ROS/NF‐κB signaling pathway, leading to IL‐6 release.
