Extracellular matrix remodeling and immune reprogramming drive residual tumor progression of liver cancer after incomplete microwave ablation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Incomplete microwave ablation (iMWA) of liver cancer triggers a biphasic progression in residual tumors. At Day 3, the microenvironment is characterized by acute inflammatory responses and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. By Day 14, a profound shift occurs toward oncogenic signal transduction and immunosuppression, marked by macrophage ...

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

Synergistic activation of AMPK by AdipoR1/2 agonist and inhibitor of EDPs–EBP interaction recover NAFLD through enhancing mitochondrial function in mice

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2023
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), especially nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is a common hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. However, there are no effective therapy to treat this devastating disease.

Decoding Biomolecular Phase Separation: From Physiological Roles to Pathological Mechanisms and Therapeutic Biomaterials Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review systematically elaborates on the mechanisms underlying physiological regulation and pathological dysregulation of biomolecular phase separation. It also summarizes advances in phase‑separation‑targeted therapeutic strategies and the design of functional biomaterials inspired by this process.

Elastin-Derived Peptide-Based Hydrogels as a Potential Drug Delivery System

Gels
A peptide-based hydrogel sequence was computationally predicted from the Ala-rich cross-linked domains of elastin. Three candidate peptides were subsequently synthesised and characterised as potential drug delivery vehicles.

A Bi‐Adjuvant Senolytic Nanovaccine Modulating Dendritic Cell Senescence Ameliorates Aging‐Related Metabolic Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An active biomaterial‐based bi‐adjuvant nanovaccine restores the immunocompetence of aged dendritic cells to overcome senescent cell tolerance. Accompanied by the downregulation of mitotic kinases Aurka/b and attenuation of senescence‐associated PI3K/AKT phosphorylation, the nanovaccine enhances antigen‐presenting capacity and promotes potent cytotoxic

Mechanisms of protection of retinal pigment epithelial cells from oxidant injury by humanin and other mitochondrial-derived peptides: Implications for age-related macular degeneration

Redox Biology, 2020
The mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) are a new class of small open reading frame encoded polypeptides with pleiotropic properties. The prominent members are Humanin (HN) and small HN-like peptide (SHLP) 2, which encode 16S rRNA, while mitochondrial ...
