Restoring Endothelial Mitochondrial Homeostasis With a Bioactive Nanoshield Promotes Vascular Regeneration on Cardiovascular Implants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioactive poly(citrate‐polyglycol‐procyanidin) (PCGP) nanoshield is developed for cardiovascular implants to restore endothelial mitochondrial homeostasis following vascular injury. By preserving mitochondrial integrity, re‐establishing metabolic balance, and activating PI3K/Akt/eNOS‐NO signaling, the PCGP interface promotes functional endothelial ...

Smartphone‐Guided Visible Light Modulation of RSNOs for Antimicrobial Activity via Controlled Nitric Oxide Release

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A light‐activated catheter insert combines antimicrobial blue light with nitric oxide release to generate complementary oxidative and nitrosative stress, producing potent broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity. The approach achieves greater than 4‐log reductions in bacterial and fungal viability and significantly reduces Staphylococcus aureus ...

A Robust Bio‐Supportive Hydrogel Patch for Full‐Thickness Repair of Gastroesophageal Defects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gastroesophageal defect repair remains a formidable clinical challenge plagued by high leakage and life‐threatening complications. We develop a double‐disc, highly crystalline PVA‐based RBS hydrogel patch featuring suture‐free sealing, robust acid/enzyme resistance and mechanical durability.

Model‐based clinical pharmacology profiling of subcutaneous nivolumab in renal cell carcinoma: Bridging to alternative dosing regimens and indications

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
A novel model‐informed drug development (MIDD) approach was employed to derive the coprimary endpoints (time‐averaged serum concentration over 28 days [Cavgd28] and minimum serum concentration at steady state [Cminss]) of the phase III CheckMate 67T study (NCT04810078).
