Structural Basis of Lymphangiogenic Receptor VEGFR‐3 Activation Mediated by Distinctive Clustering of the Ligand–Receptor Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
VEGF‐C and its receptor VEGFR‐3 are critical for lymphangiogenesis. Cryo‐EM structures of the VEGFR‐3/VEGF‐C ectodomain complex reveal a canonical 2:2 ligand–receptor hetero‐tetramer that further assembles into higher‐order clusters beyond simple receptor dimerization.

An Extracellular Pore‑Targeting Peptide Defines a Designable Allosteric Site in TRPV2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Structure‐guided peptide engineering yields Depiv2, a highly potent and subtype‐selective TRPV2 inhibitor that binds to the extracellular pore and remodels it into a closed, non‐conductive state. Depiv2 suppresses pathological cardiac hypertrophy, establishing the TRPV2 outer pore as a designable interface for selective peptide modulation.

Sonogenetics Nanomedicine Activates the cGAS‐STING Pathway for Immunotherapy of Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A HER3‐targeted sonogenetic lipid nanoparticle platform is developed for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy. An AI‐designed miniprotein inhibits HER3 signaling, while TRPV4 and NFAT‐responsive IL‐15 plasmids enable ultrasound‐controlled calcium signaling and cytokine expression. The system induces Ca2+ overload, ROS generation, mitochondrial damage,

Hederagenin Attenuates Morphine Addiction via GABAA1‐Mediated Modulation of Ca2+–CaMK–CREB Signaling in Ventral Tegmental Dopaminergic Neurons

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hederagenin is identified as a GABAA1‐targeting natural compound that suppresses morphine‐associated reward by restraining Ca2+–CaMK–cAMP–CREB signaling in ventral tegmental dopaminergic neurons. RVG29‐modified liposomal delivery further enhances brain accumulation and behavioral efficacy, providing a mechanistically defined strategy for natural ...

Assembled Hyaluronic Acid Therapeutics for Targeting M1 Macrophages and Regulating Immune Homeostasis for Ulcerative Colitis Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An orally administered, drug‐free hyaluronic acid nanoassembly, uhNAs‐OA, accumulates in the inflamed colon and is preferentially internalized by M1‐like macrophages via HA‐CD44 interactions. uhNAs‐OA scavenges excess ROS, suppresses NF‐κB signaling and remodels the colonic immune landscape, resulting in robust therapeutic efficacy in acute, chronic ...

An Injectable and Self‐Reinforced Piezoelectric Hydrogel for Irregular Bone Defects Regeneration: Dynamic Epigenetic Regulation Approach

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An injectable and self‐reinforcing RSF‐based piezoelectric hydrogel conforms to irregular bone defects and progressively strengthens in situ, overcoming the trade‐off between injectability and mechanical stability. Mechanical loading generates bioelectrical cues that promote P300‐mediated H3K9 acetylation and upregulate PTH1R expression, thereby ...

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor as a Fifth Component of Lipid Nanoparticles Enables Lymph Node‐Targeting and Augments mRNA Vaccine Efficacy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, a PDL1 inhibitor is employed as a fifth component to modify lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). PDL1 inhibitor‐loaded LNPs show enhanced lymph node targeting, resulting in greater lymph node expansion, immune cell infiltration, and improved mRNA vaccine efficacy. This fifth component LNP could be a novel platform for mRNA vaccines.
