Ionic Gating of Liquid‐Crystal‐Like Pteridine Assemblies Enables Tunable Light Scattering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tunable optical properties emerge through developmentally regulated ionic gating, which transforms disordered, ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing organelles into concentrically ordered, liquid‐crystal‐like light scatterers. By integrating analyses of pteridine composition, potassium‐dependent assembly, hierarchical ultrastructure, and optical behavior, the ...

Fc‐Dependent Targeting of the GAS6–MERTK Axis With Monoclonal and Bispecific Antibodies Overcomes Drug Resistance Across EGFR Mutations in Exons 19, 20, and 21

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
EGFR mutations drive a substantial fraction of non‐small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) and are effectively targeted by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including osimertinib. However, resistance inevitably develops through secondary mutations and compensatory receptor activation, including the GAS6 receptor MERTK.
