Tumor Mechanical Remodeling via Bidirectional Calcium Redistribution Enables Deep Photothermal‐Immunotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A bidirectional calcium‑redistributing nanomodulator rewires intra‑extracellular calcium homeostasis to remodel tumor mechanical microenvironments. It softens tumor stroma to facilitate deep tissue penetration while stiffening tumor cells, evoking amplified immunogenic cell death and robust CTL infiltration, which achieves potent deep photothermal ...

Uncoupling of the Astrocyte Syncytium Differentially Affects AQP4 Isoforms

open access: yesCells, 2020
The water channel protein aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and the gap junction forming proteins connexin-43 (Cx43) and connexin-30 (Cx30) are astrocytic proteins critically involved in brain water and ion homeostasis.

Spatial Transcriptomics Reveals a T Cell‐Mediated Microglial Activation Axis of Immune Checkpoint Inhibition‐Related Adverse Events in the Brain

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) reshapes the hippocampal neuroimmune niche. Spatial transcriptomic profiling and human brain histological analyses identify neuroinflammation and altered neuronal and glial programs. Notably, T cell depletion prevents ICI‐driven microglial activation, establishing the T cell–microglia crosstalk axis as a driving ...

Mitochondrial Localization of Cx26 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Malignancy and Exposes a Fatal Vulnerability to Drug Targeting

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial localization of Cx26 emerges as a double‐edged sword in colorectal cancer. PIMT‐mediated methylation of Cx26 promotes its mitochondrial localization and stability. Mitochondrial Cx26 then facilitates ER‐mitochondria communication and Ca2+ signaling, thereby promoting metastatic progression. Bortezomib exploits this malignant adaptation by

Allele-specific impairment of GJB2 expression by GJB6 deletion del(GJB6-D13S1854). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Mutations in the GJB2 gene, which encodes connexin 26, are a frequent cause of congenital non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Two large deletions, del(GJB6-D13S1830) and del(GJB6-D13S1854), which truncate GJB6 (connexin 30), cause hearing loss in ...

Biomimetic Nanofiber Scaffold Coated With Acellular Matrices for Uterine Myometrial Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of acellular matrix generation from human uterine fibroblast cells, coating on polycaprolactone electrospun nanofibers, and subsequent in vitro and in vivo characterization. A tissue‐engineered scaffold tailored for uterine myometrium‐specific regeneration is designed. The electrospinning technique was used to fabricate aligned
