This study explores the use of ultrasound contrast agents loaded with Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) agonists as an approach to activate the body's immune system against cancer. Termed Microbubble‐assisted UltraSound‐guided Immunotherapy of Cancer (MUSIC), this strategy effectively inhibits tumor growth and improves survival in mouse models of ...

An Engineered PfAgo with Wide Catalytic Temperature Range and Substrate Spectrum
This work presents a strategy for engineering thermophilic Ago proteins to obtain wide catalytic temperature range and broad substrate spectrum. This strategy is applied to engineer PfAgo and TtdAgo, and the biochemical properties of the engineered PfAgo are systematically characterized. The study further elucidates the structural differences involved.

This study elucidates a novel SlJAZ8‐SlWRKY57‐SlAVT6A/SlAVT6B module that effectively channels metabolic flux from primary to secondary metabolism, impacting plant growth, development, and resistance. Two novel vacuolar amino acid exporters, SlAVT6A and SlAVT6B, fine‐tunes trichomes, terpenes, and gibberellins, bolstering spider mite resistance.

Collaborative Duality of CircGLIS3(2) RNA and Protein in human Wound Repair
CircGLIS3(2), a circRNA transiently upregulated in dermal fibroblasts during acute wound healing, is induced by IL‐1α and TGF‐β. Its RNA activates fibroblasts into matrix‐secreting cells, while its encoded protein enhances proliferation. The RNA stabilizes PCOLCE, and the protein interacts with BTF3, collectively accelerating wound repair. Abstract The
