Dual‐Locking the SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike Trimer: An Amphipathic Molecular “Bolt” Stabilizes Conserved Druggable Interfaces for Coronavirus Inhibition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A new amphipathic molecule, S416 is discovered, that locks the SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein in its closed state, blocking viral entry. S416 acts as a molecular bolt, binding six sites: three between adjacent RBDs and three connecting NTDs to RBDs. This dual‐locking mechanism stiffens the spike structure and reduces its flexibility.

Hosts and Commensal Bacteria Synergistically Antagonize Opportunistic Pathogens at the Single‐Cell Resolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the tripartite‐species model, Drosophila larvae stimulate lactate production through excreting digestion enzymes. S. marcescens population senses a cue of lactate and tends to diverge into virulent and reduced virulence subclusters with remarkable heterogeneity to metabolize carbon metabolism and counter colonization resistance, giving a fitness ...

Colorectal Cancer Cells–Derived Exosomal PIK3CA Mutation DNA Promotes Tumor Metastasis by Activating Fibroblast and Affecting Tumor Metastatic Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PIK3CAH1047R DNA in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell‐derived exosomes can be delivered into recipient fibroblasts, where it is transcribed and translated, leading to the activation of fibroblasts into cancer‐associated fibroblasts, which secrete elevated levels of IL6. The simultaneous detection and targeting of PIK3CAH1047R mutation and IL6 may serve as a

TCMD: A High‐Throughput and Rapid Method for Screening Antimicrobial Ingredients from Renewable Bio‐Based Resources

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a strategy to screen the active compounds from bio‐mixtures via combining transcriptomic profiling and molecular docking. The proposed method demonstrates 100% correction in three different biobased mixtures and is 3–20 times faster than traditional approaches.
