Caspase‐3/GSDME‐Mediated Trophoblast Pyroptosis and Reciprocal Macrophage Polarization Contribute to Inflammation in Early‐Onset Preeclampsia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In trophoblast cells, T/S (TNFα + SM164) activated caspase‐3, which cleaved GSDME to switch apoptosis to pyroptosis, causing cell swelling, membrane rupture, and release of LDH, HMGB1, IL‐1β and IL‐18. These cytokines induced pro‐inflammatory macrophage polarization, which in turn reinforced pyroptotic signaling in trophoblasts, amplifying systemic ...

Non‐Targeting shRNA‐Encoded Plasmid DNA Enhances Protective Immunity Through RIDD‐RIG‐I Signaling Pathway in the Zika Virus Animal Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a novel DNA vaccine platform featuring intrinsic, non‐targeting dsRNA that significantly enhances immune responses by activating the regulated IRE1‐dependent decay‐RIG‐I signaling pathway. This research elucidates a previously uncharacterized mechanism for dsRNA‐mediated innate immune activation.

Biomimetic Nanomedicine for Senescence‐Modulated Immune Activation Enhances Immunotherapy Efficacy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A multifunctional mPDZM nanoplatform is developed in this study. mPDZM integrates chemotherapy‐induced senescence, selective senolysis, and STING‐mediated immune activation. mPDZM effectively clears senescent tumor cells, remodels the tumor immune microenvironment, and enhances antitumor T‐cell responses.

Synergistic Mn‐MOF Activation of Pistol Ribozymes for Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A Mn2+‐based metal–organic framework delivers a catalytic Pistol ribozyme for targeted PD‐L1 mRNA cleavage in tumor cells, with the released Mn2+ not only inducing immune activation in immune cells but also increasing the Pistol ribozyme catalytic activity.

Biomimetic Organic Nanozyme as Tumor Vaccines for Targeted Suppression of Ammonia‐Induced T Lymphocyte Death to Augment Breast Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The organic nanozyme IR‐IHpd, which has NIR‐PDT and POD‐like activity, is designed for continuous ROS generation. It is co‐encapsulated with CB‐839 and coated with DC membranes to simultaneously target tumors and T cells. Under NIR irradiation, immunogenic cell death is activated. Concurrently, CB‐839 suppresses ammonia‐induced T lymphocyte death (AITD)
