Shear‐Isolating Actuation System for Exosuit Using Movable Pulley With Webbing‐Driven Mechanism
Tendon‐driven exosuits can chafe the skin because the moving tendon slides against the wearer. A shear‐isolating actuation system combining a movable pulley with flat‐profile webbing keeps the body‐contacting tendon layer stationary, relocating relative motion away from the skin. The compact 145‐g actuator delivers 150 N of assistance, and benchtop and

Anti‐PD‐1/PD‐L1 blockade has revolutionized cancer immunotherapy, but is ineffective against endocrine‐treated (i.e., Tamoxifen), relapsed ER+ breast cancer (BC) patients. This study provides insight into the sub‐optimal response of ER+BCs to anti‐PD‐1/PD‐L1 blockade – highlighting the induction of STING and the CEACAM1/TIM3 axis after chronic ...

Attomolar Detection of HIV‐1 With Label‐Free RCA‐rCRISPR on Smartphone
A new diagnostic strategy integrating rolling circle amplification (RCA) with a plasmid reporter–based ratiometric CRISPR (rCRISPR) system was developed to detect unfragmented HIV genomes with single‐digit attomolar sensitivity. The method quantifies targets using the plasmid relaxation ratio and employs a smartphone‐based mini‐gel device to enable ...

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,
