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

Norepinephrine/α2B‐adrenoceptor axis promotes the secretion of Notch2 intracellular domain (N2ICD)‐enriched extracellular vesicles (EVs) from macrophages. These EVs deliver N2ICD into fibroblasts, thereby inducing their activation. Deletion of Notch2 or α2B‐AR in macrophages disrupts N2ICD‐enriched EV formation and alleviates kidney fibrosis in mice ...

Restoring NK Cell Cytotoxicity Post‐Cryopreservation via Synthetic Cells
In this study, it is shown that 1‐day co‐culture with activated T cells or IL‐2‐presenting synthetic cells significantly enhances NK cell motility and cytotoxicity in 2D and 3D. Notably, synthetic cells restore the impaired cytotoxic function of cryopreserved NK and CAR‐NK cells in 3D.

Macrophage Zc3h12c Limits Tissue Inflammation and Injury via Alternative Splicing of Pre‐mRNA
This work defines the context‐dependent function of Zc3h12c in macrophages using the Tnfrsf11a‐Cre system. It reveals Zc3h12c's dual mechanism—regulating RNA degradation and alternative splicing—with STAT1 as a key target. The findings elucidate a novel post‐transcriptional pathway and identify STAT1 isoforms as potential therapeutic targets for kidney
