A Chirality‐Converted Bacteriolytic Dodecapeptide Regulates Vibrio‐Induced Polymicrobial Infection and Ameliorates Invasion‐Associated Gut Microbiota Disequilibrium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multidrug‐resistant Vibrio infections are rising rapidly and threaten coastal populations worldwide. This study introduces D‐zp37, a chirality‐engineered antimicrobial peptide with exceptional potency against resistant Vibrio species. D‐zp37 kills planktonic cells, blocks mixed‐species biofilms, disrupts essential bacterial stress responses, and shows ...

Enzyme‐Activated MRI for In Vivo Glucose Imaging via a Biodegradable Chromium Nanoprobe

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Enzyme‐activated MRI (eaMRI) using a biodegradable CrGOx@Lip nanoprobe enables glucose‐specific imaging in vivo. GOx catalyzes glucose oxidation, triggering in situ formation of paramagnetic chromium gluconate and amplifying T1. This radiation‐free strategy maps tumor glucose uptake via the Warburg‐effect, quantifies hepatic glucose accumulation in ...

Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.
