TECTB Variants Reveal Tectorial Membrane Vulnerability in Dominant Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss
TECTB is a non‐collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane – an extracellular matrix of the cochlea. This study identifies dominant missense variants in TECTB linked to human hereditary deafness in two unrelated families. Genetically engineered mice homozygous for one of the variants are profoundly deaf, whereas heterozygous mice have normal hearing ...

During pancreatitis, IL‐1α is released from necrotic acinar cells. In response to IL‐1α, pancreatic fibroblasts release chemokines and cytokines that regulate the recruitment of immune cells to the damaged organ. Furthermore, IL‐1α primes fibroblasts, resulting in increased tissue fibrosis during chronic pancreatitis.

This work designed an injectable metal‐drug supramolecular condensate formed from hafnium ions and alendronate (Hf‐ALN) and loaded with the COX‐2 inhibitor celecoxib (CXB) for synergistic radioimmunotherapy of postoperative osteosarcoma. Mechanistically, upon X‐ray irradiation, Hf enhances radiation energy deposition, ROS generation, and DNA damage ...

Ox‐mtDNA fragments escaping from mitochondria drive robust inflammatory responses. A targeted nanoplatform simultaneously inhibits mitochondrial FEN1‐mediated mtDNA cleavage and scavenges ROS, preventing the generation of immunogenic Ox‐mtDNA fragments. The released SeNPs further promote autophagic clearance of cytosolic mtDNA. Consequently, cGAS‐STING,

Single‐Cell Profiling Reveals Clonally Expanded CX3CR1+ T Cells in Anti‐NMDA Receptor Encephalitis
CX3CR1+ T cells are associated with peripheral and central immune alterations in anti‐NMDA receptor encephalitis (NMDAR‐E). They show potential responsiveness to GluN1 (NR1) peptides, potential interactions with peripheral B cells, clonal expansion, increased CD137/CD154 expression, and inflammatory cytokine production. Their preferential cerebrospinal
