Anisotropic Masked Mycobacterium Potentiates Amplified Antitumor Trained Immunity via Spleen Targeting and Myelopoiesis Conversion

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An engineered Trojan Mycobacterium, developed via a “peeling‐off and masking‐up” strategy, functions as a powerful splenic myelopoiesis converter. This spleen‐targeted nanomedicine induces trained immunity to reprogram immunosuppressive myeloid reservoirs into antitumoral effectors.

Direct Observation of Propagating Spin Waves in a Spin Hall Nano‐Oscillator

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
By combining frequency injection locking with time‐resolved scanning transmission x‐ray microscopy (TR‐STXM), the authors image the real‐time magnetization dynamics of a spin Hall nano‐oscillator (SHNO) for the first time. Their results reveal richer dynamics than previously reported and challenge existing assumptions regarding the radiation hardness ...
