A mouse model of mechanical stress injury to the basal ganglia using thermosensitive PNIPAM hydrogel for intracerebral hemorrhage research

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, we established a novel mouse model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by stereotactically injecting thermosensitive PNIPAM hydrogel into the internal capsule to impose localized mechanical stress on the corticospinal tract, which provides a straightforward and reproducible tool for preclinical studies on focal mechanical stress–induced ...

Monoallelic POLR3A Variants Cause Early‐Onset Peripheral Neuropathy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Biallelic variants in genes encoding the RNA polymerase III complex (Pol III) cause a spectrum of neurological disorders primarily affecting the central nervous system. Monoallelic variants have been reported in the POLR3B subunit only, associated with neurodevelopmental disorder, epilepsy, and peripheral neuropathy.

Modeling Catheter‐Associated Bladder Mucosal Adhesion and Microtrauma Using a Human Urothelial Microtissue Model

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Intermittent catheter use can damage the urinary tract and predispose to infection. We deployed a complex human urothelial model to investigate. Catheter contact induced compressive and shear stress causing umbrella cell disruption, reduced barrier function, inflammation and increased cell adhesion to the catheter surface.

Nanodiamonds as Bioactive Platforms to Modulate Microbial, Mammalian, and Vertebrate Systems

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Nanodiamonds (NDs) are biocompatible and antibacterial nanomaterials that support mammalian cell growth while inhibiting bacterial pathogens. NDs showed strong antibacterial activity, with Escherichia coli being more sensitive than Staphylococcus aureus. At 10 mg/mL, both bacteria exhibited ~8% viability.

Rewriting Tumor Immunity With Bacterial Membrane Vesicles: A Versatile and Potent Therapeutic Strategy

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Bacterial membrane vesicles (BMVs) emerge as promising platforms for cancer immunotherapy owing to their intrinsic adjuvant properties and tunable cargo delivery capabilities. Their ability to modulate the tumor microenvironment, enhance antitumor immune responses, and support personalized therapeutic strategies highlights their growing potential as ...

Modified Titanium Dental Implants: The Current Progress of Soft‐Tissue Integration Methods

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Dental implants are an established solution for tooth loss, yet achieving soft tissue integration (STI) around the transmucosal region remains a challenge. The natural tooth–gingiva interface is poorly replicated on titanium implants. This review explores surface modification strategies, ranging from surface chemistry and topography to biological ...

Discovery of an Antiviral Electron Transfer Process to Create Catalytically Self‐Sufficient Viral Restriction Factors

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
CYB5R3 is identified as a putative electron‐transfer partner of viperin (RSAD2), explaining why ER localisation is required for antiviral activity. Its utilisation enabled the engineering of immune‐silent, catalytically self‐sufficient antiviral restriction factor enzymes (iCAREs) that produce an antiviral nucleoside triphosphate analogue (ANTA ...
