Rapid Glass‐Substrate Digital Light 3D Printing Enables Anatomically Accurate Stroke Patient‐Specific Carotid Artery‐on‐Chips for Personalized Thrombosis Investigation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid glass‐substrate 3D microfabrication method creates anatomically accurate carotid artery‐on‐a‐chip models from stroke patient scans in 2 h. These miniaturized devices replicate patient‐specific blood vessel geometry and flow patterns, enabling real‐time imaging of clot formation under controlled injury.

Realgar‐Induced CNS Toxicity: Exploring OTC‐Mediated Ornithine Regulation of ZBTB7A Inhibits Astrocyte Glycolysis Based on the Liver–Brain Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Arsenic in realgar induces CNS toxicity through direct and indirect effects: it activates ZBTB7A in astrocytes, which in turn inhibits glycolysis and impairs mice's learning, memory, and exploration; it also suppresses OTC in the liver to block the ornithine cycle, leading to blood ornithine accumulation that crosses into the frontal lobe and further ...
