Pre‐Regenerative Endothelial Cells Empowered by Antler Blood Exosomes Orchestrate Peripheral Nerve Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The pre‐regenerative vascular niche (PVN) is essential for nerve repair, yet its endothelial blueprint remains unclear. We identified angiogenic ECs (AECs) as the dominant pre‐regenerative subset and found that antler blood–derived exosomes (AB‐EXO) promote repair via IMP3.

GHRHR Deficiency Enhances Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Visual Functions in Experimental Glaucoma by Inhibiting Ferroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.

Characterization and optimization of electrodialysis with bipolar membranes with improved alkaline stability for phenol recovery from petroleum wastewater

Chemical Engineering Journal Advances
The purity and recovery of phenol from an aqueous solution by electrodialysis with a bipolar membrane (EDBM) system mainly depend on the solution pH, possibly effective only under alkaline conditions because phenol is a very weak acid with a pKa of 10 ...
