A Molecularly Defined Midbrain Circuit Mechanism for Sound‐Driven Defensive Behavior and Anxiety
Schematic diagram showing the Cbln2+ ICx–dPAG circuit for sound‐driven defensive and anxiety‐like behaviors. ABSTRACT The innate defense behaviors in response to threatening sounds play a fundamental role in survival. However, the neural circuits that detect threat‐relevant auditory cues and transform them into defensive behaviors remain poorly defined.

Q‐LEAP: Millisecond Hyperdimensional Optimization for Full‐Spectrum Optical Metamaterials
Q‐LEAP integrates physics‐informed residual machine learning with factorization‐machine‐encoded quantum annealing to design full‐spectrum optical metamaterials. It explores a 2108 design space and, in a single 2.56 ms annealing step, reaches 85.83% of the theoretical FoM limit, enabling selective 5‐8 µm emission with 3–5 and 8–14 µm suppression and ∼40×

Targeted Mechanogenetics to Modulate Specific Deep Neural Circuits
This study introduces mechanogenetics, a nanobubble‐enhanced sonogenetic strategy for selective modulation of feeding‐related neural circuits in the mouse lateral hypothalamus. Mechanogenetic stimulation modulates feeding behavior through glutamatergic projections from the lateral hypothalamus to the ventral tegmental area, highlighting its potential ...

RCI is associated with functional suppression of oxytocinergic neurons in the PVN. Reduced PVNOXT neuronal activity contributes to altered sympathetic regulation involving the IML–sympathetic chain pathway, accompanied by changes in norepinephrine signaling at the BTI.

Cloperastine suppresses osteoclastogenesis by inhibiting PGC1β‐mediated oxidative phosphorylation. Its incorporation into a ROS‐responsive, Asp8‐modified nanoplatform enhances skeletal accumulation. The resulting Clo/Asp8‐PMK‐MCs combine cloperastine‐mediated antiresorptive activity with carrier‐mediated osteogenic activity to attenuate OVX‐induced ...

This study established a one‐step method inducing pro‐spermatogonia‐like (activating SOX17) and oogonia‐like (activating SOX17/TFAP2C) cells from porcine pgEpiSCs with a NANOS3‐tdTomato reporter. EGF activates the core PGC program and supports survival; BMP4 further induces NANOS3 and DDX4 expression; IWR1 enhances PGCLC efficiency by suppressing ...

Combined inhibition of the WDR5 WIN pocket and HDAC activity converts SAHA‐induced hyperacetylation into a promoter state with reduced WDR5–COMPASS association and H3K4me3. MYC/E2F‐linked nascent transcription and biosynthetic recovery are suppressed, while apoptosis and senescence‐like features increase, resulting in sustained growth inhibition in ...

Chiral virus‐mimicking mesoporous silica nanostructures (CVSNs) efficiently transport diverse antibiotics across the blood–brain barrier (BBB) into brain parenchyma and cerebrospinal fluid. By enhancing delivery to microglia and astrocytes, CVSNs improve antibiotic bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy against both Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive ...

Intratumoral Fusogenic Outer Membrane Vesicles Enhance Antitumor Immunity Through Tumor MHC‐I Upregulation and Tumor Bacterization [PDF]
Tumor bacterization by fusogenic outer membrane vesicles enhances microbial‐like recognition of tumor cells while activating the TLR4–NF‐κB–NLRC5 axis to upregulate MHC class I expression. By simultaneously strengthening APC sensing and T‐cell recognition, this strategy breaks tumor immune invisibility and promotes more effective antitumor immune ...

Hypothalamic POMC Neurons Gate the Fear‐Feeding Trade‐Off
Hungry animals must continually arbitrate between feeding and defensive behaviors when confronted with potential threats. We show that hypothalamic POMC neurons engage CRH‐expressing stress circuits and downstream hormonal responses to coordinate this behavioral selection between competing behaviors.
