Human blood–brain barrier spheroid models for the evaluation of drugs targeting brain vascular inflammation

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences
The blood–brain barrier (BBB), primarily formed by brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs), restricts substance entry into the brain. BBB inflammation, involving barrier dysfunction and immune cell recruitment, contributes to neurological diseases ...

Zinc Fingers as Programmable Metalloprotein Scaffolds for Altering Pathogenic Biomolecular Phase Transitions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Modular zinc finger (ZF) metalloproteins function as programmable biomolecular scaffolds that modulate pathogenic amyloid assembly. Through direct protein–protein interactions, ZF arrays alter amyloid phase behavior and redirect β‐sheet fibrillization toward nontoxic aggregates.

Restores Aβ Clearance by Overcoming PCSK9–LRP1 Dysregulation and TRIB3‐Mediated Autophagy Blockade in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PCSK9 upregulation in cerebrovascular endothelial cells and microglia destabilizes the Aβ transporter LRP1, while TRIB3‐associated autophagy blockade further limits intracellular Aβ degradation. A RAP‐modified tea‐polyphenol nanoparticle co‐delivers siPCSK9 and siTRIB3 to restore LRP1‐mediated Aβ efflux and autophagy‐dependent degradation, reducing Aβ ...

Remote Ischemic Post‐Conditioning Preserves the Neurovascular Unit by Brain‐Derived Gas6 That Drives Monocyte‐Derived Macrophage Reprogramming via Axl and Vimentin after SAH

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) triggers monocyte‐derived macrophage (MDM) infiltration and M1‐like polarization via Vimentin upregulation, leading to neurovascular unit disruption and cognitive dysfunction. Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPostC) upregulates neuronal Gas6, which activates Axl on MDMs to downregulate Vimentin and drive reparative M2 ...

AI‐Designed TREM1‐Targeted LYTAC Nanoparticles Reprogram the Neuroimmune Microenvironment in Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AI‐enabled de novo design of a TREM1 binder, integrated into a BBB‐crossing and macrophage‐targeted nanoplatform, enables TREM1 degradation and attenuates neuroinflammation, thereby promoting neuroprotection and tissue repair after traumatic brain injury. ABSTRACT Secondary neuroinflammation drives progressive damage after traumatic brain injury (TBI),

Huntingtin Aggregate‐Responsive Autophagy Gene Circuit Mitigates Disease Pathology in R6/2 Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CD98‐mediated receptor‐mediated transcytosis enables LIP‐CD98 nanocarriers to cross the blood–brain barrier and deliver ARAA to neurons. mHTT aggregates activate the 11G–NarX sensor, initiating Auto‐P and Trans‐P signaling through the VP48–NarL relay.
