Animal models of idiopathic membranous nephropathy: Recent advances and future perspectives
This review focuses on the evolution of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) animal models from traditional approaches (Heymann nephritis, C‐BSA, APA) to antigen‐specific models (PLA2R, THSD7A), critically evaluating their advances and limitations in replicating human IMN pathology.

CSAKD: Determining Absolute Ligand Affinities From 19F NMR Chemical Shift Anisotropy
Affinity determination is crucial in drug discovery, yet remains difficult for weakly binding fragments. We introduce chemical shift anisotropy KD$K_{\text{D}}$ (CSAKD) by 19F$^{19}{\rm F}$ NMR relaxation experiments, a titration‐free method that requires no isotopic labeling.

Spatial Cell Death and Oxidative Stress Dynamics in Gas Plasma‐Treated Tumor Tissues
Schematic representation of the four experimental models to study tissue penetration and oxidation. Four tissue models were used. Human pancreatic cancer cells were grown on the chorioallantois membrane of chicken embryos and gas plasma‐treated in ovo, murine colorectal tumor tissue was gas plasma‐exposed ex vivo, murine squamous cell carcinoma cells ...

A coumarin‐based dual‐emission fluorophore was designed to visualize the maturation of protein liquid droplets. Upon covalent conjugation to droplet‐forming proteins, ratiometric fluorescence imaging allowed real time monitoring of droplet maturation. This probe is applicable to the analysis of droplet formation and maturation mechanisms, as well as to

This study explores enzyme‐responsive nanoparticles for targeted antimicrobial release in inflamed oral environments. Nanoparticles formed by complexing peptides and chlorhexidine respond to human leukocyte elastase and release chlorhexidine selectively. P7 (ECAAPVCE)‐based formulations show optimal properties and stability, with antimicrobial activity

We developed an assay to distinguish cellular binding from internalization. Compatible with microscopy and high‐throughput screening, the method identifies ligand‐mediated uptake. Applying top candidates to a protein‐based DNA carrier enhanced transfection efficiency, providing a rational strategy to improve non‐viral gene delivery systems.
