Closed‐Loop Bioelectronic Artificial Pancreas Patch for Continuous Monitoring and Regulation of Blood Glucose in Diabetic Rats and Pigs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A closed‐loop bioelectronic artificial pancreas patch is presented for glucose monitoring and regulation. Utilizing transiently dissolvable microneedle arrays integrated with microtube arrays, the patch efficiently delivers insulin into interstitial fluid, eliminating the need for external long needles. In diabetic pigs, it demonstrates excellent blood

Adamts1 Exacerbates Post‐Myocardial Infarction Scar Formation via Mechanosensing of Integrin α8

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Proposed mechanistic model of ADAMTS1‐ITGα8 mechanotransduction in post‐MI scar formation. Schematic illustration showing the mechanistic pathway by which endothelial cell (EC) derived Adamts1 regulates cardiac fibroblast activation through ITGα8‐mediated mechanotransduction following myocardial infarction (MI).

Advanced Biomaterial Delivery of Hypoxia‐Conditioned Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) as a Therapeutic Platform for Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This research introduces a novel approach to enhance neuroregeneration following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) are isolated from human neural progenitor cells under hypoxic conditions, leading to enhanced expression of neurogenic and angiogenic factors.

Modeling Control of Invasive Fire Ants by Gene Drive

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is characterized by exceptional invasive capabilities, rendering conventional control ineffective. Here, we explore the use of homing suppression gene drive in fire ants by developing a spatially explicit model. Overall, these results show that target population suppression requires an extended time scale, but that gene ...

Forelimb Motor Learning and Memory Consolidation Drives Distinct Oligodendrocyte Plasticity to Regulate Task‐related Neuronal Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genetic and chemical tracking of oligodendrogenesis, combining fiber photometric neuronal activity recording, reveals that distinct oligodendrocyte plasticities are adopted during different phases of motor learning to fine‐tune task‐related neuronal activity, with a preferential involvement of oligodendrogenesis suppression and node lengthening (type 2

A “Mesoporous Oxygen Chamber” Scaffold with Antibacterial and Early Immunomodulatory Effect for Promoting Bone Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, an oxygen‐loaded and antimicrobial peptide (AP)‐functionalized scaffold (MBGAPO) is synthesized. With mesoporous structure of MBG applied as an “oxygen storage,” and AP‐provided antibacterial ability against E.coli and MRSA. MBGAPO exhibited osteogenic and multiplex‐immunomodulatory effects.

Phospholipid Remodeling and Tri‐Layer Membrane Reconstruction Mediate Cognitive Effects of Humanized Milk Fat Globules in Neonatal Rats

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Humanized milk fat globules (MFG) mimic the native composition and structure of human milk, achieved through remodeling of milk fat globule membrane phospholipid composition and reconstruction of the tri‐layer membrane structure. These humanized MFG exhibit improved structural stability and digestibility, and enhance neurodevelopment in formula‐fed rat
