A Chiral Virus‐Like Nanoplatform That Broadly Mediates Antibiotic Delivery to the Brain for Bacterial Meningitis Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chiral virus‐mimicking mesoporous silica nanostructures (CVSNs) efficiently transport diverse antibiotics across the blood–brain barrier (BBB) into brain parenchyma and cerebrospinal fluid. By enhancing delivery to microglia and astrocytes, CVSNs improve antibiotic bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy against both Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive ...

Phase‐Programmed Microneedles Enable Sequential Hydrogen and Quercetin Release for Scar‐Reduced Regeneration of Burn Wounds

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A phase‐programmed microneedle patch, comprising a poly (lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) shell and a sulfobutylether‐β‐cyclodextrin (SBECD) core, is designed for sequential hydrogen and quercetin release for scar‐reduced regeneration of burn wounds. ABSTRACT Burn wounds complicated by bacterial infection and fibrotic scarring remain a major clinical ...

The Interplay Between Molybdopterin Synthase and Metal Metabolism Contributes to Pathogenicity in Acinetobacter baumannii

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pathogenic Acinetobacter baumannii scavenges metal ions as nutritional elements to survive within the host. This study demonstrates that molybdopterin synthase is essential for pathogenesis and full virulence during infection. Molybdopterin synthase subunit MoaE constitutes an intrinsically disordered C‐terminal histidine rich tail, which mediates ...

Salivary Citrate Deficiency Defines an Endogenous Dentin Remineralization Failure State Through Glandular MT1/2‐Zn2+‐ACO2 Dysregulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Salivary citrate deficiency in early‐stage Sjögren's syndrome accompanies impaired dentin remineralization despite preserved salivary flow and mineral availability. Matched‐ion experiments reveal disrupted mineral organization and reduced dentin recovery at disease‐associated citrate levels.

Chemical Inhibition of Pyocyanin Biosynthesis Attenuates Virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Anti‐virulence strategies disarm pathogens rather than killing them directly. A β‐lactone reduces pyocyanin production without affecting growth. Chemical proteomics identified PqsC as the primary target via binding to Cys129. Crystallography revealed the binding mode, and SAR yielded a chloroacetamide inhibitor with improved enzymatic potency and anti ...
