Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Biomimetic Nanomedicine for Senescence‐Modulated Immune Activation Enhances Immunotherapy Efficacy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A multifunctional mPDZM nanoplatform is developed in this study. mPDZM integrates chemotherapy‐induced senescence, selective senolysis, and STING‐mediated immune activation. mPDZM effectively clears senescent tumor cells, remodels the tumor immune microenvironment, and enhances antitumor T‐cell responses.

Structure‐Guided Engineering of a Promiscuous O‐Methyltransferase for a SAM Regeneration Biocatalysis Platform of Methylated Pharmaceuticals

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A substrate promiscuous and regioselective O‐methyltransferase, SmOMT, is functionally and structurally characterized. A double mutant, SmOMTE152A/I306A, exhibited enhanced catalytic activity. By coupling this mutant with a mutant halide methyltransferase, AtHMTV140T, for SAM regeneration, a superior artificial fusion enzyme, AtHMTV140T‐L95‐SmOMTE152A ...

Leucine‐Dependent SLC7A5–PGAM5 Interaction Promotes Advanced Atherosclerosis Through Hindering Mitochondrial Function of Macrophages

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Higher plasma leucine is associated with increased risk of new‐onset myocardial infarction. Leucine deprivation alleviates advanced atherosclerosis in mice. Tumor‐induced leucine deprivation reprograms macrophage metabolism and increases CD5Lhi macrophages in mouse plaques. Mechanistically, leucine deficiency reduced SLC7A5‐PGAM5 binding in macrophages,

Macrophagic Sclerostin Loop2‐ApoER2 Interaction Required by Sclerostin for Cardiovascular Protective Action

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sclerostin loop2‐ApoER2 interaction in macrophages is required by sclerostin to suppress NF‐κB nuclear translocation and phosphorylation, to promote macrophage conversion into anti‐inflammatory subtypes in atherosclerotic aortas, as well as to prevent atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysm development in ApoE−/− mice. Abstract Therapeutic antibody against
