Cryo‐EM Structure Guided Engineering of Botulinum Neurotoxin A With Advanced Receptor Binding Affinity and Therapeutical Benefits

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 33, 15 June 2026.
The butterfly unfolded wing in an open form structure of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) at physiological‐state was confirmed at 2.85 Å resolution by cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Structure‐guided protein engineering significantly enhanced the receptor‐binding affinity, therapeutic efficacy, and safety of the engineered toxin variants ...

Toosendanin Alleviates Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury via Inhibiting Neural Ferroptosis Through Lipid Metabolic Reprogramming in MCAO Mice

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Post‐stroke administration of TSN significantly reduced infarct volume, neuroinflammation, and improved functional recovery of MCAO mice. TSN alleviated neural oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and ferroptosis in MCAO mice. TSN modulated the infiltration of immune cells in MCAO mice in vivo and T cell differentiation in vitro.
