Inosine‐Triphosphate‐Pyrophosphatase Activity as a Potential Predictor of Methotrexate Remission in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Methotrexate (MTX) is the first‐line therapy for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but up to 40% of patients do not respond to it. Low inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA) activity has been associated with reduced clinical remission. We investigated the role and underlying mechanisms of ITPA in vitro. Methods ITPA enzymatic activity

Nerve Growth Factor is Sufficient to Cause Multiple Osteoarthritis‐Relevant Pathologic Features in Naïve Murine Knee Joints

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Nerve growth factor (NGF), a key mediator of pain, is increased in osteoarthritic (OA) joints. Antibodies against NGF show analgesic effects in painful knee OA, but clinical development was stopped because of side effects in the joints. Knowledge about the biologic effects of NGF on joint tissues is limited. Therefore, we explored the effects

T cells, the Next Big Target in Axial Spondyloarthritis?

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by complex immune dysregulation, with T cells playing a central role in its pathogenesis. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge on diverse T cell subsets in axSpA, their pathogenic mechanisms, and emerging therapeutic strategies targeting these cells. We highlight

Microbial Hydrolysates as Amino Acid Source in Cell Culture Media for Cellular Agriculture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The high cost of cultivation media remains one of the barriers to the commercialization of cultivated meat. Current serum‐free media reduce reliance on fetal bovine serum but only achieve modest cost savings. Especially at larger scales (> 20 m3), pharmaceutical‐grade amino acids and recombinant proteins remain major cost drivers.

Revisiting the Carbon Footprint of Single‐Use Technologies in Biomanufacturing: A Bottom‐Up Analysis Reveals a Paradigm Shift

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The biopharmaceutical industry increasingly relies on single‐use technologies (SUT) for operational flexibility. For a long time, SUT was considered more sustainable than stainless‐steel (SST) systems due to water and energy savings. This study re‐evaluates this paradigm via a detailed bottom‐up analysis of the SUT carbon footprint at the 2000

Harnessing ferroptosis from multilayer defense networks to nanoplatforms for specific cancer therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials target metabolically‐regulated ferroptosis for cancer therapy. Iron‐based or alternative nanoplatforms integrate ferroptosis with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. They enable stimulus‐responsive therapies (photothermal, photodynamic, sonodynamic) activated by near‐infrared, light, or ultrasound, achieving potent synergistic ...

Harnessing blood clot as a native scaffold for orchestrating tissue repairs and regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The blood clot, owing to its dynamic composition and unique microenvironment, holds significant yet underappreciated potential for tissue engineering. This review systematically summarizes the pathophysiology of clot formation, the key regulatory factors shaping its microenvironment, and its applications in both pre‐clinical and clinical settings ...

A narrow bandgap Schottky heterojunction Fe2N/CeO2 microneedle triggering sonodynamic reactive oxygen species storm for drug‐resistance‐free skin fungal infection

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Inorganic sonosensitizers suffer from inefficient electron‐hole separation, rapid recombination, and wide bandgaps in anti‐fungal applications. We propose MN@Fe2N/CeO2 to directly eliminate fungi without drug resistance. Combining semiconductor CeO2's advantages with Fe2N's high work function and activity enables efficient Schottky heterojunctions ...
