Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Microglial Deletion of Hrh4 Alleviates Alzheimer's Disease Pathologies by Enhancing Microglial Phagocytosis of Amyloid‐β and Tau

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Histamine H4 receptor (H4R) antagonist VUF6002 mimics low‐dose X‐ray irradiation in aged Alzheimer's disease (AD) mice, enhancing microglial clearance of amyloid‐beta/hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates and restoring cognition. Microglial H4R deletion activates cAMP/TGF‐β1/Smad3 pathway, enhancing phagocytosis, while TGF‐β receptor 1 deletion abolishes ...

Microbial Community Succession Sustains Fish Diversity in the Upper Yangtze River Reserve

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Critical for river ecosystem sustainability, fish diversity relates to multitrophic microbes. This upper Yangtze FNNR study used eDNA to examine microbial succession‐fish links, finding key drivers, distinct assembly processes, and that microbial cross‐trophic interactions benefit fish, offering conservation insights.

Optimization of environmental DNA extraction and amplification methods for metabarcoding of deep-sea fish

MethodsX, 2021
Analyses of environmental DNA (eDNA) from macroorganisms in aquatic environments have greatly advanced in recent years. In particular, eDNA metabarcoding of fish using universal PCR primers has been reported in various waters.

Trimetallic Nanozyme‐Embedded Smart Hydrogel Enables NIR‐Controlled Bacterial Killing and Oxidative Stress Alleviation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A microenvironment‐responsive hydrogel is developed incorporating polymyxin B‐modified AuMnCu nanozymes and dual drugs (tannic acid and tobramycin). At infection sites, it generates ROS, releases drugs responsively, and enhances mild photothermal action to disrupt bacterial redox balance.

Bimetal‐Phenolic Framework to Combat Bacterial Infections via Synergistic Biofilm Dispersal, Bacterial Killing and Immune Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bimetal‐phenolic framework (Que‐Fe‐CeMPF) is developed by direct self‐assembly through the coordination of Fe3+ and Ce4+ with quercetin. Que‐Fe‐CeMPF exhibits multimodal activity, including cleaving matrix eDNA within biofilm, generating hydroxyl radicals via catalytic H2O2 to kill bacteria, and alleviating inflammation by stimulating macrophage ...

Environmental DNA profiling for detecting plant-insect interactions in endangered and native flora

Folia Oecologica
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an established technique for studying plant-insect interactions, that has so far had very limited use in exploring flower-visiting insect communities.
