Lysosome‐targeted acidic nanoparticles based on a biodegradable poly(ethylene tetrafluorosuccinate‐co‐succinate) copolymer are engineered to restore impaired lysosomal acidification through pH‐responsive intracellular degradation. Localized acid release enhances autophagic proteolysis, reduces α‐synuclein accumulation, and preserves dopaminergic neuron

Increased gene copy number of DEFA1/DEFA3 worsens sepsis by inducing endothelial pyroptosis. [PDF]
Sepsis claims an estimated 30 million episodes and 6 million deaths per year, and treatment options are rather limited. Human neutrophil peptides 1-3 (HNP1-3) are the most abundant neutrophil granule proteins but their neutrophil content varies because ...

Microfluidic Modeling of Macrophage‐Induced Cardiac Inflammation Using NF‐κB Reporter Cardiomyocytes
A cardiac inflammation model was developed to enable real‐time analysis of macrophage‐cardiomyocyte interactions using NF‐κB‐reporter cardiomyocytes and a microfluidic co‐culture system. A MATLAB‐based model was implemented to optimize cell density and medium resupply based on TNFα diffusion kinetics. Activation thresholds and stress responses in NF‐κB‐

Endothelial Dysfunction in Hypertension
The endothelium modulates the tone of the underlying vascular smooth muscle by releasing relaxing factors, including prostacyclin, nitric oxide (NO), and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF). In most types of hypertension, endothelium-dependent relaxations are impaired because of a reduced production and/or action of endothelium-derived NO
