Advanced Science, EarlyView.An integrative analysis combining in vitro genome‐wide immune screens, in vivo ICB screens, and clinical data mining identifies METTL5 as a key tumor‐intrinsic immune factor. Mechanistic studies further reveal the importance of the METTL5‐ATF4‐SLC7A11/SLC3A2‐ferroptosis axis in modulating antitumor immune responses. These findings highlight METTL5 as a

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Physiological flow (0.5 Pa) conditioning promotes resilience of an iPSC‐derived blood–brain barrier endothelium to mild systemic inflammation. In contrast, high “cytokine storm” levels induce barrier breakdown, fibrinogen leakage, and astrocyte activation, reconstituting the two‐hit injury mechanism on‐a‐chip.
