A Touch Enabled Hemodynamic and Metabolic Monitor

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a touch‐based hybrid platform for simultaneous monitoring of vital signs and sweat metabolites. With a simple tri‐finger touch of 4–6 min, users can concurrently get to know their glucose, uric acid, cortisol levels from fingertip sweat, along with blood pressure and heart rate.

Gut Microbiota Modulates Obesity‐Associated Skeletal Deterioration Through Macrophage Aging and Grancalcin Secretion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Obese gut‐microbiota derived lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induce bone marrow macrophage senescence and GCA secretion via activating TLR4/NF‐κB/MAPKs pathway. Clinically, obese patients are associated with higher serum GCA levels. Mice with depletion of GCA gene show resistance to skeletal deterioration caused by obesity and LPS‐induced chronic ...

Glucose‐Responsive and Analgesic Gel for Diabetic Subcutaneous Abscess Treatment by Simultaneously Boosting Photodynamic Therapy and Relieving Hypoxia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The work constructs a glucose‐triggered gel for diabetic abscess treatment. The results demonstrate that the gel catalyzes glucose into oxygen, alleviates the hypoxia, and ensures sufficient ROS generation to combat pathogenic bacteria. Simultaneously, borneol within the gel can enhance the antibacterial activity of ROS and alleviate pain in patients ...

DNA Origami‐Based CD44‐Targeted Therapy Silences Stat3 Enhances Cartilage Regeneration and Alleviates Osteoarthritis Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a cartilage‐targeted DNA origami system (OCS) that protects and delivers si‐Stat3 to chondrocytes. OCS reduces MMP13 expression, enhances extracellular matrix stability, and lowers oxidative stress while improving cell survival. In vivo, OCS decreases cartilage degradation biomarkers and promotes tissue repair factors, demonstrating

Neutrophil‐Mimicking Nanomedicine Eliminates Tumor Intracellular Bacteria and Enhances Chemotherapy on Liver Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) enrichment has been identified in colorectal cancer and its liver metastases. This study develops neutrophil‐mimicking nanoparticles with multiple targeting capabilities encapsulating metronidazole and oxaliplatin for antibacterial and anticancer purposes. This approach reverses the epithelial mesenchymal transition process
