A Dual‐Functional Biohybrid Nanorobot to Synergistically Eradicate Biofilm and Degrade Antibiotic Resistance Genes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biohybrid nanorobot integrating lytic bacteriophage N4 with Pd nanozymes is developed for targeted eradication of multidrug‐resistant E. coli biofilms. Synergistic bacterial lysis and ROS‐mediated oxidation enable simultaneous biofilm removal and antibiotic resistance genes degradation, maintaining high efficacy in complex wastewater environments ...

Tyrosinase Driven‐Intracellular Polymerization of a Porphyrin Derivative Induced Immunogenic Death of Melanoma Cells and Strengthened Photodynamic Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uses tyrosinase, which is highly expressed in melanoma, to drive porphyrins to polymerize and self‐assemble within tumor cells to form retented microstructures. This process induces immunogenic death and activates immune responses (M1 macrophages, dendritic cells, CD8+T cells), turning “cold” tumors into “hot” tumors.

Global challenges and solutions to achieving and sustaining measles and rubella elimination

Revista Panamericana de Salud Pública
Measles and rubella have long been recognized as priorities for disease prevention because of their devastating consequences for child health; hence, all World Health Organization (WHO) regions currently have a goal to eliminate measles and four out of ...

A Cationic Supramolecule With Potent Antifungal Activity, Single‐Species Selectivity, and Strong Synergy With Echinocandins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a new membrane‐active antifungal design, Gua‐SMACS‐16, that exhibits high potency and single‐species selectivity for C. tropicalis while sparing other close species in the Candida genus. Moreover, when combining with caspofungin, a clinical antifungal drug inhibiting 1,3‐β‐glucan synthase, they exhibit ultra‐strong synergy across a panel ...

Quantum Dots for Biomedical Biosensing, NIR‐II Bioimaging, and Phototherapy: Materials Design, Signal Transduction, and Translational Barriers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review outlines bottom‐up and biomimetic fabrication strategies of quantum dots, and highlights their emerging applications in biosensing, multimodal bioimaging, and intelligent cancer theranostics. It further discusses key translational barriers and future perspectives for advancing QD‐based nanomedicine toward clinical implementation.

Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Eradication versus control: the economics of global infectious disease policies

Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 2004
A disease is controlled if, by means of a public policy, the circulation of an infectious agent is restricted below the level that would be sustained by individuals acting independently to control the disease.

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) eradication, brushtail possum control, and causal inference

Wildlife Society Bulletin
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in livestock (cattle and farmed deer) is the focus of an in‐progress eradication program in New Zealand. The program includes intensive brushtail possum population control as this species is a bTB host and could compromise ...

Comparison of Anatomical and Non‐Anatomical Resection in Low Microvascular Invasion Risk Solitary Hepatocellular Carcinoma ≤ 5 cm

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We evaluated whether anatomical resection (AR) provides an oncological benefit over non‐anatomical resection (NAR) in solitary hepatocellular carcinoma ≤ 5 cm without predicted microvascular invasion or intrahepatic metastasis, identified by preoperative DCP ≤ 150 mAU/mL.

Genetic predisposition to porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder: A functional genomic‐based, multigenerational family study

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
A deleterious variant of FCHSD1 results in mTOR pathway overactivation and may cause porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). The pedigree of the family demonstrated an autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity. Whole‐genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing both validated the existence of the FCHSD1 variant and the heterozygosity of c ...
