Advanced Science, EarlyView.In glioblastoma, M2‐polarized macrophages secrete IL‐6, which activates STAT3 signaling in tumor cells to upregulate CTSB. Tumor‐derived CTSB binds the C‐terminus of macrophage S100A10, reinforcing M2 polarization and further IL‐6 secretion, thereby establishing a feedforward IL‐6/STAT3/CTSB/S100A10 loop. This cascade drives tumor growth, invasion, and

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We report a chromogenic release‐based assay system with protease‐cleavage peptide‐modified calcium carbonate microspheres for colorimetric detection of Porphyromonas (P.) gingivalis activity. In response to Arg‐specific gingipain secreted by P. gingivalis, the supernatant becomes colored, enabling colorimetric analysis and providing the monitoring of ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A nanomodulator called L‐Arginine/lificiguat@Copper‐hollow Prussian blue@Calcium phosphate nanoparticles is constructed to launch a self‐amplifying “avalanche effect” in tumor cells. The ensuing cascade, triggered by the acidic tumor microenvironment and near‐infrared light, induces calcium overload, generates a reactive oxygen species and reactive ...
