Ambient fine particulate matter induces cardiac fibrosis through triggering ferroptosis by heme degradation induced-iron overload

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Background: Previous studies have shown a significant correlation between exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and cardiac fibrosis, yet the precise detrimental effects and underlying mechanisms of PM2.5 exposure on cardiac fibrosis remain

Direct Extracellular Matrix Modulation Attenuates Intestinal Fibrosis via a Fibronectin‐Targeted Approach

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibronectin regulates the extracellular matrix (ECM)–myofibroblast cycle through three key steps: (1) its secretion and assembly by myofibroblasts (inhibited by pUR4); (2) collagen deposition along its scaffold (inhibited by R1R2); and (3) integrin α5β1‐mediated mechanotransduction (inhibited by ATN161).

TRAP5 Inhibition Targeting Scar‐Associated Macrophages Ameliorates Acute Kidney Injury to Chronic Kidney Disease Transition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study delineates macrophage heterogeneity along the acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease transition. Single‐cell RNA sequencing reveals a TRAP5+ scar‐associated macrophage subset driven by Spp1–Cd44 signaling and mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming.

Inactivation Rap2a in Endothelial Cell Prevents Pulmonary Fibrosis by Regulating Immune Microenvironment Through MAP4K4‐VCAM1 Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We identified the endothelial RAP2A as a regulator of inflammatory endothelial activation in experimental lung fibrosis and suggest that targeting RAP2A‐mediated signaling may represent a potential strategy to modulate endothelial–immune crosstalk during fibrotic lung injury.

TGM2 Aggravates Acute Pancreatitis by Impairing Macrophage Efferocytosis Through Inhibition of the STAT6–GAS6 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows TGM2 is upregulated in AP, impairing macrophage efferocytosis by inhibiting the STAT6–GAS6 axis. The lactoferrin‐modified, ROS‐responsive LF‐LNP@si‐TGM2 targets pancreatic macrophages, silences TGM2, restores the axis, and alleviates AP.

Bifunctional Artificial Enzymes‐Loaded Microgels With LOX‐ and CAT‐Like Activities for Metabolic Reprogramming and Scarless Wound Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bifunctional lactate oxidase‐like and catalase‐like artificial enzyme (Metazyme) is integrated into a rod‐shaped microgel (MetaRgel) to enable cascade lactate oxidation and oxygen regeneration. By reprogramming the wound metabolic microenvironment, MetaRgel alleviates excessive lactate accumulation, oxidative stress, hypoxia, and inflammation ...

Catechol Derivative‐Based Bioadhesives: Molecular Design for Precision Medical Adhesion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilizes tree‐inspired side‐chain engineering to graft five catechol derivatives onto PVA, systematically revealing how side‐chain length and substituents regulate adhesion and cohesion properties. Among them, the PVA‐CA patch demonstrates superior tissue adhesion, biocompatibility, and promotes regeneration, establishing a programmable ...

Artesunate Ameliorates APAP‐induced Liver Injury by Promoting NEDD4L‐Mediated Ubiquitination and Degradation of TXNIP

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liver injury can lead to severe acute liver failure and even death in patients. Artesunate (ART), which is a derivative of artemisinin that has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of malaria, has significant regulatory effects on cell death and inflammation.
