Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

NARFL Knockout Triggers Ferroptosis‐Driven Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
NARFL is vital for CIA and oxidative stress resistance. NARFL deletion in HPMEC cells, zebrafish, and mice is lethal and rescued by a Ferroptosis inhibitor. NARFL deficiency disrupted its interaction with CIA proteins, decreased aconitase activity, increased IRP1 activity, induced Fe overload, and led to ferroptosis and oxidative stress, resulting in ...

Tumor‐Derived CDC37 Inhibits Antigen Cross‐Presentation in Dendritic Cells and Impairs Anti‐Tumor Immunity in Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicle (EV)‐packaged CDC37 are released from TMBhiCTLlo breast cancer cells with high CDC37 expression, and internalized into endo/phagosomes of dendritic cells (DCs). Within these compartments, CDC37 locked HSP90–antigen complex, preventing antigen release into the cytosol.
