RIG‐I‐Inducing Small Molecules Potently Inhibit HMA‐Resistant AML Through Igniting the Overloaded dsRNA Arsenal

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a novel mechanism of resistance to DNA hypomethylating agents (HMAs) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and identifies all‐trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and tamibarotene (TAM) as potent agents that overcome HMA resistance by reactivating the interferon anticancer immune response. The findings offer promising therapeutic strategies for HMA‐

Dual‐Biomimetic Bone Adhesive with Osteoimmunomodulatory Capabilities for Anatomical Reconstruction of Comminuted Fractures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A structurally and functionally dual bionic bone adhesive is engineered through an organic–inorganic cohesion strategy, which significantly reinforces the adhesive's bone tissue adhesion as well as osteogenic activity. In a pioneering rabbit radius comminuted fracture model, the bone adhesive exhibits exceptional capability in immobilizing bone ...
