CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM TOXOPLASMOSIS IN CHILDREN WITHOUT HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS INFECTION [PDF]
Toxoplasma EncepfiaUtis (TE) is rare in pediatric patients, but it is an emerging opportunistic infection in the increasing number of immunocompromised hosts. It should be considered in patients who present with fever and evolving CNS symptoms.

This study unveils a novel antibacterial mechanism against MRSA, in which the compound Py‐27 selectively targets and inhibits aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase), a key enzyme in pyrimidine synthesis. This inhibition disrupts DNA replication, induces oxidative damage, leading to potent bactericidal activity.

Redirecting Monocyte Differentiation With Engineered Extracellular Vesicles for Glioma Immunotherapy
A dual‐targeting engineered extracellular vesicles (M1‐CS‐EVs) platform is developed to redirect monocytes differentiation into anti‐tumor macrophages for glioma immunotherapy. This nanoplatform combines CAR‐mediated tumor recognition with localized CD47 blockade, leading to synergistic immune activation and potent suppression of tumor progression in ...
