Advancing Biotherapeutic Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis Using Lipid Mesophases: Formulation Design and Preclinical Validation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lipid mesophases provide a versatile platform for colon‐targeted delivery of biotherapeutics, protecting them from degradation while enhancing mucoadhesion and enabling localized, controlled release to the inflamed mucosa after oral or rectal administration. In a DSS‐induced colitis model, this strategy reduced disease activity, inflammatory biomarkers,

PDHA1 Hyperactivation‐Mediated Glucose Metabolism Reprogramming Fuels Neutrophil NETosis and Promotes Acute Lung Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
During NETosis, neutrophils shift metabolically toward enhanced OXPHOS and partially reduced glycolysis. This shift is driven by PDHA1 hyperactivity‐dependent selective metabolic reprogramming. The neutrophil‐targeted nanoparticle 3‑FP‑BSA NPs effectively inhibit NETosis and attenuate ALI.
