NR1D1 suppresses epithelial CD47 transcription to promote efferocytosis by macrophages. In UC, NR1D1 expression is diminished, leading to CD47 upregulation, inhibition of apoptotic cell clearance, and exacerbation of intestinal inflammation. Restoring rhythmic NR1D1 activation using SR9011‐loaded bioadhesive hydrogel enhances efferocytosis, improves ...

Awareness of Microbiological Safety in Playgrounds Amid Rising Antibiotic Resistance
Playgrounds are identified as reservoirs for antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, posing a potential public health risk. Despite the existence of safety regulations for playground equipment, microbiological safety is treated superficially. Global strategies, including hygiene practices and antibacterial materials, are needed to reduce the spread of ...
