NFS1 Regulates IDH2 to Attenuate Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms via Interacting With SP2
The loss of NFS1 leads to its reduced binding with the transcription factor SP2, resulting in decreased expression of the downstream gene Idh2. This causes a shift in energy supply toward glycolysis in VSMCs, ultimately contributing to the occurrence and progression of AAA.

Dual‐Array Nano Configuration for High‐Performance Metastable β Titanium Alloys
This work resolves a fundamental paradox in metastable alloys by establishing a novel dislocation‐phase coupling mechanism, enabling dynamic microstructure control for simultaneous thermal stability and deformability. Geometrically ordered α‐nanograins achieve unprecedented 500°C strength‐ductility synergy (863 MPa UTS, 78.3% elongation).
