Higher Complement C4 Gene Copy Number Constitutes a Shared Genetic Risk Factor for Giant Cell Arteritis and IgA Vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

Induction and Enhancement of Bacteriocin Production (Review)

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventionally, bacteriocins are produced by microorganisms on complex substrates, released as semi‐purified preparations or crude fermentates. These bacteriocin‐containing products often exhibit unsatisfactory purity, low active‐substance content, and high production costs, limiting their commercialization and use. This review aims to analyze

Elucidating the Impact of Bacterial Composition and Diversity on Skin Homeostasis Using a Human 3D In Vitro Skin Model

open access: yesMicroorganisms
The importance of the skin microbiome in human health has become increasingly evident. Despite considerable advancements, complex host–microbe interactions remain largely unexplored, primarily due to a paucity of models mimicking human skin and ...

Bacterial backpacks for targeted delivery of piezoelectric nanoparticles to enhance sonodynamic immunotherapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Leveraging bacterial hypoxia targeting, KBTO NPs accumulate at the tumor site. Under the ultrasound irradiation, KBTO NPs produce reactive oxygen species to kill tumor cells and eliminate bacteria, preventing overgrowth and inflammation. The lysed bacteria act as antigens to trigger antitumor immunity and further enhanced by the immune checkpoint ...

Nacre‐inspired layered composite with excellent mechanical support and osteogenic potential for cervical interbody cage

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The cervical interbody cage needs to take both biomechanical and biological requirements into account. Here, a new‐style degradable, multicomponent, and bioinspired nacre‐like cervical interbody cage composite, which exhibits promising mechanical‐support‐related behavior and osteogenesis‐related potential, is designed and prepared.

Defect‐engineered tungsten oxide nanowires as redox‐metabolic nanozymes for gut inflammation‐infection syndromes

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Defect‐engineered WO3 nanowires serve as a multifunctional nanozyme platform to treat IBD complicated by Salmonella co‐infection. By integrating catalytic ROS/RNS scavenging and targeted metabolic interference of pathogens via molybdenum substitution, these nanowires effectively resolve intestinal oxidative stress, inhibit infection, and restore ...

Microbiome and Tumor Microenvironment Interactions: Advances From Ecological Niches to Precision Oncology

open access: yesCancer Nexus, EarlyView.
Tumor‐associated microbiota occupies spatially organized ecological niches and influence cancer progression by reshaping tumor‐cell signaling, metabolism, immunity, stromal remodeling, and therapeutic response. Integrating microbiome‐derived biomarkers, targeted microbial interventions, spatial multi‐omics, longitudinal monitoring, and AI may enable ...

Microfluidic production of monodisperse food‐additive polymer capsules for biological applications

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
Monodisperse TGPR polymer capsules are generated via a robust microfluidic approach exploiting droplet interface transfer across the oil‒water interface. Unlike lipid vesicles, these capsules offer high thermal stability and biocompatibility. They successfully demonstrated utility as robust bioreactors for in‐capsule PCR and bacterial cultivation ...
