Plasma Membrane Lipid Asymmetry Dynamically Regulates Passive Diffusion
Passive diffusion enables hydrophobic molecules to cross the plasma membrane and exert their biological functions. This study demonstrates that plasma membrane lipid asymmetry, dynamically regulated by lipid scrambling, determines membrane permeability to lipophilic molecules and thereby modulates their cellular activities.

Sustainable Hydrogel‐Forming Microneedle‐Reservoir Patches for Transdermal Delivery of Hydrophilic Macromolecules: Biopolymers, Green Manufacturing and Translation [PDF]
Hydrogel‐forming microneedle (HFMN)‐reservoir patches provide a modular route for controlled transdermal delivery of hydrophilic biomacromolecules. The platform integrates skin‐barrier penetration, sustainable biopolymers, scalable green manufacturing, hydration‐driven transport, model‐cargo validation, and translational quality requirements.

Loss of Lepr in Fibroblasts Drives Tumor Development by Promoting Macrophage Infiltration
TNFα and TGFβ signaling reprograms Lepr+ fibroblasts toward a LeprnegMmphigh inflammatory CAF (iCAF) state, with downregulation of the Tcf21‐Lepr axis contributing to this transition. Lepr loss induces Csf3, which contributes to the enhanced macrophage‐recruiting capacity of these iCAFs, thereby promoting tumor development. Thus, inflammatory signaling

Supramolecular Assembly of an Antimicrobial Peptide Into a Pore
Supramolecular assembly of an AMP is linked to transport across the Staphylococcus aureus membrane. ABSTRACT Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have long been ascribed the ability to form pores. These structures, some observed, others inferred, vary in their mechanisms of action, though most are associated with lysis.

Wetting‐Driven Transfer of Flexible Ultra‐Thin Temperature Sensors
A wetting‐driven transfer approach enables ultra‐thin temperature sensors to be transferred from a super‐hydrophilic donor substrate onto rigid, curved, and biological receiver substrates. By combining controlled wetting with a conformal Parylene carrier layer, the method preserves stable thermal sensing performance while expanding the integration of ...

Our study investigates macromolecular crowding effects in the Arrhenius‐like and non‐Arrhenius temperature regimes of the human platelet isoform of phosphofructokinase‐1 (PFKP). The results reveal how PFKP maintains temperature robustness of catalytic activity in differently crowded environments.
