Echinococcus multilocularis Calreticulin Inhibits Lectin Pathway of Complement Activation by Directly Binding to Mannose-Binding Lectin

Pathogens
Alveolar Echinococcosis (AE) is a serious zoonotic disease caused by infection of Echinococcus multilocularis larvae. To survive within the host, E. multilocularis has developed a complex immune evasion mechanism including the inhibition of complement ...

Blood Cell‐Camouflaged Liquid Metal Nanoconjugates Orchestrate Treg Depletion and STING‐Amplified Photothermal Immunity for Metastatic Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Whole‐blood biomimetic engineering transforms liquid metal nanoparticles into a tripartite immunotherapeutic platform that orchestrates regulatory T‐cell depletion, photothermal‐induced immunogenic cell death, and activation of the stimulator of interferon genes pathway.

Regulating Cells Fate and Function to Facilitate Bone Regeneration via Designing Programmable Bio‐Interactive Materials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This article aims to elucidate the biological mechanisms of bone repair and the evolution of material design, highlighting key cellular and molecular processes. It further proposes strategies and prospects for programmable bio‐interactive materials, which enable precisely guided bone tissue regeneration by dynamically regulating cell behavior and the ...

Tax Evasion and Competition [PDF]

Using a Cournot oligopoly model with an endogenous number of firms and evasion of indirect taxes, this paper shows that more intense competition may have the negative side-effect of eroding tax revenues by increasing tax evasion. This will be the case if

Praziquantel and factor H recruitment differentially affect the susceptibility of Schistosoma mansoni to complement-mediated damage

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundSchistosomes are highly efficient evaders of human immunity, as evident by their ability to survive in human blood for years. How they protect themselves against the constant attack by a key element of innate immunity, the complement system ...

F7 Drives Gastric Cancer Metastasis Through Anoikis Resistance and Tumor Microenvironment Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coagulation factor VII (F7) has been implicated in tumor progression; however, its role in gastric cancer metastasis and immune evasion remains incompletely understood. In this study, we identified F7 as a clinically relevant driver of gastric cancer.

Multi‐Omics Integration Identifies a CDH3‐Associated Malignant Epithelial State and Immunosuppressive Niche to Predict Prognosis in Thymic Epithelial Tumors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell, spatial, molecular, and pathology analyses identify a CDH3‐associated malignant epithelial state in thymic epithelial tumors. This state links stem‐like and EMT programs to M2 macrophage–rich immunosuppressive niches, genomic instability, poor survival, and drug vulnerability.
