Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Inosine‐Triphosphate‐Pyrophosphatase Activity as a Potential Predictor of Methotrexate Remission in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Methotrexate (MTX) is the first‐line therapy for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but up to 40% of patients do not respond to it. Low inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA) activity has been associated with reduced clinical remission. We investigated the role and underlying mechanisms of ITPA in vitro. Methods ITPA enzymatic activity

Effect of developmental changes on pharmacokinetics of drugs used in the treatment of infant acute lymphoblastic leukaemia—A comprehensive review

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
While the event‐free survival (EFS) of children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has improved greatly in the last decades, the EFS for patients diagnosed with ALL before the age of one is still under 50%. This outcome further decreases when infants have a rearrangement in the gene encoding histone‐lysine N‐methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A ...

Harnessing ferroptosis from multilayer defense networks to nanoplatforms for specific cancer therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials target metabolically‐regulated ferroptosis for cancer therapy. Iron‐based or alternative nanoplatforms integrate ferroptosis with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. They enable stimulus‐responsive therapies (photothermal, photodynamic, sonodynamic) activated by near‐infrared, light, or ultrasound, achieving potent synergistic ...

Carbon Dots for Cancer Theranostics: Synthesis Strategies, Luminescence Properties, and Advances in Bioimaging‐Guided Diagnosis and Therapy

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Lighting up the path to precision oncology: This review comprehensively summarizes the rational design of carbon dots (CDs), elucidating how core size, surface chemistry, and heteroatom doping dictate their luminescence mechanisms. Special emphasis is placed on engineering NIR‐II emissive CDs for deep‐tissue imaging.

Precision Chemistry for Protein Lysine Modification

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Selective modification of lysine residues is challenging due to their similar intrinsic reactivity. Inspired by enzymatic recognition, ligand‐guided electrophiles enable site‐selective labeling and functionalization, while ligand‐guided catalyses achieve regioselective installation of bio‐relevant post‐translational modifications.

Extracellularly Activatable Conjugates of RGD Peptidomimetics and Cryptophycin for αVβ3‐Targeted Cancer Therapy

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Integrin αVβ3‐targeting small‐molecule drug conjugates (SMDCs) were synthesized by conjugating a cryptophycin payload through a neutrophil elastase‐cleavable NPV‐PABC linker. RGD peptidomimetic and linker epimers served as controls for targeting and enzymatic cleavage, and the resulting conjugates displayed subnanomolar cytotoxicity in vitro.
