Enteric ChAT‐Expressing Neurons Mediate the Protective Effect of Lactobacillus plantarum in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In colitis patients and mice, reduced Lactobacillus abundance is observed. Experimental studies show that L. plantarum A736 metabolizes dietary tryptophan into indole‐3‐lactic acid (ILA), while both L. plantarum A736 and ILA impact ChAT‐expressing enteric neurons and acetylcholine levels, thereby regulating intestinal immune responses and alleviating ...

Adhesion‐Enhanced Engineered Probiotic for Prolonged Intestinal Retention and Calprotectin‐Responsive IBD Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An intelligent engineered probiotic platform is developed for the precision management of inflammatory bowel disease. By integrating surface‐displayed adhesins with an inflammation‐responsive CAT‐SOD‐GPx tripartite fusion system and mucosal repair factors, this programmable system achieves prolonged intestinal retention and multi‐pronged therapy.

Assembled Hyaluronic Acid Therapeutics for Targeting M1 Macrophages and Regulating Immune Homeostasis for Ulcerative Colitis Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An orally administered, drug‐free hyaluronic acid nanoassembly, uhNAs‐OA, accumulates in the inflamed colon and is preferentially internalized by M1‐like macrophages via HA‐CD44 interactions. uhNAs‐OA scavenges excess ROS, suppresses NF‐κB signaling and remodels the colonic immune landscape, resulting in robust therapeutic efficacy in acute, chronic ...

A Postbiotic‐Inducing Ganoderma applanatum Polysaccharide Repairs the Intestinal Barrier via a Phocaeicola vulgatus ‐ Tridecylic Acid Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies GAP2, a bioactive polysaccharide fraction derived from Ganoderma applanatum, as a postbiotic inducer that repairs intestinal barrier damage in a gut microbiota‐dependent manner. GAP2 enriches Phocaeicola vulgatus, which degrades GAP2 and promotes tridecylic acid production, triggering Rho/CDC42 signaling and tight‐junction ...

Aged ZnO Nanoparticles Promote Breast Cancer Lung Metastasis by Remodeling the Pulmonary Microenvironment Through the CXCL10/Wnt/β‐Catenin Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In summary, pulmonary exposure to ZnO NPs, particularly aged NPs, promotes breast cancer metastasis by remodelling the lung tumour microenvironment. Aged ZnO NPs enrich M2‐macrophages, MDSCs and activated CAFs to form an immunosuppressive metastatic niche. CXCL10 from these cells drives metastasis via Wnt/β‐catenin activation.
