Cardiac Organoid Model Inspired Micro‐Robot Smart Patch to Treat Myocardial Infarction
The heart organoid model exhibits the acidic microenvironment characteristic of myocardial infarction, which emerges as a pivotal force propelling the movement of micro‐robots. These micro‐robots, administered through microneedles, can penetrate deep into the tissue, effectively delivering therapeutic payloads to facilitate heart repair.

TET1 inhibits the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells by regulating autophagy
Methylation modifications play pertinent roles in regulating gene expression and various biological processes. The silencing of the demethylase enzyme TET1 can affect the expressions of key oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes, thus contributing to ...

Identification and characterization of unique to human regulatory sequences in embryonic stem cells reveal associations with transposable elements, distal enhancers, non-coding RNA, and DNA methylation-driven mechanisms of genome editing [PDF]
Despite significant progress in structural and functional characterization of human genome, understanding of mechanisms underlying the genetic basis of human phenotypic uniqueness remains limited. We report that non-randomly distributed transposable element-derived sequences, most notably HERV-H/LTR7 and L1HS, are associated with creation of 99.8 ...

CTCF Degradation Causes Increased Usage of Upstream Exons in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells [PDF]
Transcriptional repressor CTCF is an important regulator of chromatin 3D structure, facilitating the formation of topologically associating domains (TADs). However, its direct effects on gene regulation is less well understood. Here, we utilize previously published ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data to investigate the effects of CTCF on alternative splicing of ...

New Perspectives on Semiconducting Conjugated Oligomers for Neuromodulation in Hydra vulgaris
Semiconducting organic compounds, thiophene‐based, modify the rhythmic electrical activity of the cnidarian Hydra vulgaris acting on specific neuronal circuits. The ETE‐S trimer also forms electronically conducting wires in the living tissues of the animal.

This article explores the development of rhodamine TEMPO conjugates via the Ugi‐multicomponent reaction to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) in living cells. The sensors are highly selective for mitochondria in both cancer and normal cell lines, with fluorescence quenching and EPR spectroscopy offering precise ROS detection.
