The butterfly unfolded wing in an open form structure of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) at physiological‐state was confirmed at 2.85 Å resolution by cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Structure‐guided protein engineering significantly enhanced the receptor‐binding affinity, therapeutic efficacy, and safety of the engineered toxin variants ...

Macrophage Extracellular Traps in Immunity and Cancer
As a macrophage‐mediated innate defense mechanism, the dysregulated release of METs drives chronic inflammation and influences tumor progression. Furthermore, METs exhibit a functional duality within the tumor microenvironment, capable of both promoting and suppressing tumor development.

Engineering Stealth Properties of Fluorescent Polymeric Nanoparticles by Short‐Chain Polysarcosine
To define the minimal polysarcosine chain length required for nanoparticle stealth properties, we engineered dye‐loaded polymeric nanoparticles functionalized with 5‐, 11‐, or 19‐mer peptoids. Only nanoparticles with 19‐mer polysarcosine achieved near‐neutral zeta potential, suppressed nonspecific interactions with glass surface and live cells ...
