Adipocyte‐Derived Exosomal miR‐5099 Mitigates M1 Macrophage Polarization and Adipose Inflammation via c‐Met/NF‐κB Axis to Improve Metabolic Health

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Celastrol upregulates adipocyte‐derived exosomal miR‐5099, suppressing the macrophage c‐Met/NF‐κB axis to mitigate pro‐inflammatory M1 polarization and adipose inflammation. These miR‐5099‐enriched exosomes also act as endocrine signals targeting the liver, muscle, and adipocytes to significantly enhance systemic insulin sensitivity.

Mechanism of Solid Solution‐Driven Texture Induced by Ag Doping in YBCO Superconductor

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ag‐doped YBCO with a designed concentration gradient is produced by dual‐material co‐extrusion and freeze‐drying. During annealing, Ag+ ions diffuse into Y123, substituting for Cu(1) and inducing c‐axis relaxation. This leads to the formation of [001]‐oriented YBCAO, creating a coherent interface that templates the textured growth of Y123. Consequently,

Selective Charge Extraction Allows Fast Photomultiplication and Imaging in Rigid and Ultra‐Flexible SWIR Organic Photodiodes

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
SWIR donor polymer TQ‐3T allows photomultiplication in OPD in 1:1 ratio with NFA Y6, achieving EQEs > 1100% at ‐10 V. Microseconds response times are retained, amongst the lowest for photomultiplication. As proof of concept, we demonstrate ultrathin and flexible PM‐OPDs based on our TQ‐3T:Y6 as a flexible pulse oximeter as well as a conformable image ...
