Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Single‐Cell RNA Sequencing of Human Lung Tissues Reveals Metallothionein‐Positive T Cells as a Novel Potential Marker of Susceptibility to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using single‐cell RNA sequencing of lung samples and flow cytometry of peripheral blood, we identified a novel T cell subset with high metallothionein (MT) expression. These MT‐high T cells suppress CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity and are progressively depleted from healthy controls to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, positioning them as

Combined Photothermal and mTOR‐Targeted Therapy Overcomes Immune Evasion and Enhances Checkpoint Blockade Efficacy in Metastatic Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that photothermal therapy, while inducing immunogenic cell death in triple‐negative breast cancer, paradoxically activates the oncogenic mTOR pathway to drive immune evasion. To counter this, a smart nanocomposite is engineered to co‐deliver localized hyperthermia and mTOR inhibition.

NIR Light‐Driven Photocatalytic Antibacterial Hydrogels for Synergistic MRSA Biofilm Eradication and Wound Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The nanohybrid hydrogel (Fe‐BOS@C/H Gel) is composed of Fe‐Bi2O2‐XS (Fe‐BOS) photocatalysts and CS‐ADH/OHA (C/H) hydrogel. Fe‐BOS photocatalysts achieve near‐infrared (NIR) light‐driven antibacterial photocatalytic/mild photothermal therapy (APCT/MPTT), effectively eliminating methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms. The degradation
