The scale matters: A review on stimuli‐responsive microrobots categorized by scale for biomedical applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
We systematically summarize how each scale dictates fundamental choices in design feature, manufacturing technology, driving mechanism, and control strategy, which are inherently governed by scale‐dominated physical principles. Furthermore, the application of scale‐determined operation modes of microrobots across different stages of medical ...

Environmental Mycotoxins and Brain Health: Protective Role of Bromelain Against Fumonisin B1 in SH‐SY5Y Cells

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fumonisin B1 (FB1), a mycotoxin commonly found in contaminated food and feed, has been increasingly implicated in neurotoxicity, although its mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the neurotoxic potential of FB1 in human SH‐SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, both undifferentiated and RA‐differentiated, and evaluates the ...

Gas check prevention during calendering of poly(vinyl chloride) films using poly(caprolactone)‐based additives

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 441-452, March 2025.
Three poly(caprolactone) (PCL)‐based additives of differing molecular weights were used as a secondary plasticizer to prevent gas checks in PVC films produced through calendering. Results showed that chemical and physicochemical properties influence the prevention or reduction of gas checks, unlike rheological properties including complex viscosity and

Critical role of the mast cell/tryptase/PAR2 axis in anastrozole‐induced pain

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, is used to treat postmenopausal women with hormone receptor‐positive breast cancer, but also induces musculoskeletal pain and can lead to therapeutic regimen suspension. Aromatase inhibitors promote the release of pro‐inflammatory substances from sensitised nerve fibres, which might ...

Opioids in breast cancer: Between analgesia and modulation of tumour progression

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Preclinical investigations consistently demonstrate that activation of μ‐opioid receptors and δ‐opioid receptors promote proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, acquisition of cancer stem cell phenotypes, and chemoresistance.

Covalent drug discovery: Progress against key targets, emerging strategies and lessons learnt

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Covalent drug discovery is currently experiencing a boom in industrial and academic interest. To date, at least 75 covalent drugs have received regulatory approval, targeting both traditional target classes and more challenging proteins for which other approaches failed. In many cases, unique aspects of covalent targeting are essential for the

Inconsistent standard of care for tuberculosis screening and preventive therapy before initiating systemic psoriasis treatment

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background and Objectives Preventive tuberculosis (TB) therapy before initiating MTX or IL‐17/IL‐23/IL‐12/23p40 inhibitors for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is supported by indirect evidence of TB reactivations with TNF inhibitors. However, direct evidence for MTX or IL‐17/IL‐23/IL‐12/23p40 inhibitors is limited.

LAT1/SLC7A5‐mediated amino acid uptake is regulated by redox signals triggered by formyl‐peptide receptor 2

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
FPR2 activation mediates NOX‐dependent LAT1 expression and, in turn, promotes mTORC1 signaling. Upon stimulation with WKYMVm, the FPR2‐NOX2‐ROS axis upregulates LAT1 via increased c‐Myc phosphorylation and decreased miR‐126. Additionally, it promotes CD98 translocation to the plasma membrane.

Suppression of Indoleamine 2,3‐Dioxygenase Enhances Immune Responses to the Therapeutic Vaccine for Chronic Hepatitis B

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase (IDO) activity modulates immune responses to the therapeutic HBV vaccine NASVAC. Genetic or pharmacological suppression of IDO enhanced vaccine efficacy in mice, and lower serum kynurenine levels predicted favorable responses in humans, suggesting IDO as both a therapeutic target and a biomarker.

Exploring the impact of Cabotegravir‐Rilpivirine long‐acting on weight gain, body composition and quality of life in adults living with HIV

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Long‐acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (ART) with Cabotegravir (CAB) and Rilpivirine (RPV) offers an alternative to daily oral regimens, improving adherence and patient satisfaction. However, its impact on body composition and metabolism remains underexplored.
