Beyond Potency: Emerging Determinants and Optimization Strategies Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy of Adult Stem Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Adult stem cell therapy requires more than high in vitro potency. This review proposes a systems framework in which cell‐intrinsic programs, instructive microenvironmental cues, and pre‐/post‐delivery engineering are co‐designed under standardized translational rules.

A Plant Photoregulator‐Inspired S‐Type Heterojunction System for Diabetic Keratopathy via Tri‐Modal Light‐Driven Immunometabolic Reprogramming, Tissue Repair, and Antibacterial Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
To address the multifaceted imbalance in diabetic keratopathy, a light‐responsive biomimetic platform (WCNx‐Rh2) is developed and integrates glucose degradation, immune modulation, and antibacterial defense through a designed heterojunction and screened immunomodulator. WCNx‐Rh2 reduces AGEs/ROS and inflammatory signaling, reprogramming dendritic cells

ApoE‐ and Cfh‐deficient mice exhibit structural and molecular features of human early–intermediate retinal degeneration

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) involves lipid dysregulation and complement overactivation. Here, we characterize a double‐knockout ApoE−/−/Cfh−/− mouse as a model of early–intermediate retinal degeneration. These mice exhibit retinal pigment epithelium thinning, Bruch's membrane thickening, lipid accumulation, enhanced C5b‐9 deposition ...
