Targeted STING Activation Using Modified Ultrasound‐Responsive Microbubbles Enhances Immune Checkpoint Blockade Against Melanoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores the use of ultrasound contrast agents loaded with Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) agonists as an approach to activate the body's immune system against cancer. Termed Microbubble‐assisted UltraSound‐guided Immunotherapy of Cancer (MUSIC), this strategy effectively inhibits tumor growth and improves survival in mouse models of ...

An Engineered PfAgo with Wide Catalytic Temperature Range and Substrate Spectrum

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a strategy for engineering thermophilic Ago proteins to obtain wide catalytic temperature range and broad substrate spectrum. This strategy is applied to engineer PfAgo and TtdAgo, and the biochemical properties of the engineered PfAgo are systematically characterized. The study further elucidates the structural differences involved.

Enhancing the Protein Stability of an Anticancer VHH‐Fc Heavy Chain Antibody through Computational Modeling and Variant Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, a computational pipeline is developed to systematically evaluate the conformational stability, disulfide bond reduction state, and aggregation and degradation tendencies of an anticancer VHH‐Fc fusion antibody. Based on the mechanistic insights, antibody variants with enhanced stability and increased yield are successfully designed. This

Neutrophil Macrophage Crosstalk via Extracellular Vesicles Drives Reverse Migration in a Fully Human Model of Wound Healing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel microphysiological system that can mimic sterile or non‐sterile injury demonstrates that macrophage‐derived extracellular vesicles modulate neutrophil migratory responses to these different wound states. The model showed that resolution of inflammation through neutrophil reverse migration is driven by IL‐8 derived from extracellular vesicles ...

Robust Controlled Degradation of Enzyme Loaded PCL‐Based Fibrous Scaffolds Toward Scarless Skin Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel biodegradable wound dressing (E‐PCLs) based on polycaprolactone (PCL) and an enzyme complex (RHP‐BCL) is developed using a fiber microfluidic electrospinning technique. The dressing achieves complete degradation within 14 days, eliminates microplastic residues, and promotes scar‐free healing (99% in 21 days).

Inhibition and Rescue of Hyperglycemia‐Induced Cellular Senescence by Mitochondrial Transfer from Enucleated Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Microvesicles for Chronic Wound Healing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops enucleated MSC‐derived microvesicles (Mito@euMVs) to deliver functional mitochondria for optimizing wound repair. By efficiently encapsulating mitochondria, Mito@euMVs rejuvenate hyperglycemia‐induced senescent fibroblasts and HUVECs. Using PVA microneedle patches, the therapeutic efficacy of Mito@euMVs is validated in diabetic rats

Elasticity‐Driven Nanomechanical Interaction to Improve the Targeting Ability of Lipid Nanoparticles in the Malignant Tumor Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The elasticity of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) is essential to their tumor‐targeting efficacy. Softer LNPs penetrate tumors faster and more easily enter into softer cancer cells, while stiffer LNPs show prolonged retention in stiffer tumors. The presence of protumoral M2 macrophages enhances the LNPs uptake into stiffer cancer cells, facilitating ...

Mitigating anomalous electricity consumption in smart cities using an AI‐based stacked‐generalization technique

IET Renewable Power Generation, EarlyView., 2023
In this paper, a novel machine learning based stacked generalization method is proposed for dealing with the cyber‐physical theft issue in the smart grids and also to deal with the anomalous electricity consumption by the users. Abstract Energy management and efficient asset utilization play an important role in the economic development of a country ...

Development and Breeding of Herbicide‐Resistant Sorghum for Effective Cereal‐Legume Intercropping

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identified two SbALS mutations (A93T and S624N) conferring robust herbicide resistance in sorghum, facilitating efficient weed control. Structural analysis revealed that imazamox resistance is mediated by disrupted herbicide binding. Furthermore, 126 imazamox resistant soybean varieties are screened for sorghum‐soybean intercropping ...
