Self‐Adaptive Allantoin@ZIF8 Nanocomposite Hydrogel with Resveratrol Synergy for MRSA‐Infected Wound Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on allantoin‐loaded ZIF8 nanoparticles (Alla@ZIF8) and methacrylated quaternary ammonium carboxymethyl chitosan/resveratrol composite hydrogels (RMQCC), an adaptive multifunctional hydrogel system (Alla@ZIF8‐Gel) was constructed and confirmed to induce the healing of MRSA‐infected wounds via suppressing bacterial proliferation, alleviating ...

Targeting WTAP/ROR1/WNT5A‐Mediated Crosstalk Between Glioma Stem Cells and Macrophages to Normalize Tumor Vasculature and Enhance Chemotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In hypoxic microenvironment, WNT5A is predominantly secreted by tumor‐associated macrophages. Hypoxia‐induced WTAP mediates ROR1 stability by m6A modifications in a HuR‐dependent manner in Glioma stem cells (GSCs). WNT5A activates the WNT pathway via ROR1 binding on GSCs, driving glioma‐derived endothelial cells (GDECs) differentiation.

Endogenous Ceramide 24:1 Constrains Th17‐Driven Neutrophilic Inflammation by Antagonizing EP2 Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cer24:1 levels are reduced in neutrophilic asthma and inversely correlate with disease severity and airway neutrophilia. Restoring Cer24:1 suppresses pathogenic Th17 differentiation by engaging EP2 on CD4+ T cells, thereby dampening the JAK2–STAT3–RORγt axis and reducing IL‐17 production.

Dual‐Targeting Cuproptosis and Mitophagy via a Flavopiridol‐Copper Nanoplatform Potentiates Immunotherapy Against Uveal Melanoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a GSH‐responsive nanoplatform, NP@Fla‐Cu, to co‐activate cuproptosis and excessive mitophagy in uveal melanoma. The nanoplatform enhances tumor‐specific copper delivery, depletes antioxidant defenses, and remodels the tumor immune microenvironment.

Re-evaluating the impact of natural resources on economic growth [PDF]

In this study we re-evaluate the impact of natural resources on economic growth. The reassessment is based on a growth model where, using panel-data analysis, natural-resource variables (geographically diffused and concentrated) affect the efficiency ...
