Integrative Analyses Identify a cGAS‐STING Pathway‐Driven Signature With Context‐Dependent Roles in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Zhang et al. identify M7core, a critical cGAS‐STING pathway‐driven gene signature that is activated in most lupus patients’ blood and links to lupus disease severity, lymphopenia, and lupus nephritis. They further reveal the diagnostic and pathogenic characteristics of M7core and emphasize the importance of assessing pathway activity before initiating ...

‘Heroes aren’t always so great!’ – Heroic perceptions under mortality salience

open access: yesSocial Influence, 2019
According to terror management theory, in a first study (N = 80), we tested the hypothesis that heroic perceptions of historic heroes would become more positive under mortality salience.

Biomimetic Cell Membrane‐Coated MOFs System for Targeted Cancer Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Biomimetic MOF‐based drug delivery nanoplatforms synthesized using liposomes or cell membranes as camouflage for multiple cancer therapeutics. ABSTRACT The integration of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) with cell membrane coatings has emerged as a revolutionary strategy to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of cancer nanomedicine.

Mortality salience in professionals witnessing death: The effects of mortality manipulation on doctors’ evaluations

open access: yesDeath Studies, 2019
This study investigates whether frequently witnessing death leads to desensitization in terms of death anxiety. A total of 163 individuals, comprising 71 doctors from branches with high death rates and 92 doctors from branches where mortality is rarely seen, participated in this study.

Neutrophil‐Mimetic Nanoscavengers Target the Inflammatory Microenvironment to Eliminate NETs/ROS and Immunomodulate cGAS‐STING Signaling in Septic AKI

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sepsis‐associated acute kidney injury is driven by oxidative stress, NETs overproduction, and dysregulated innate immunity. Here, we develop neutrophil‐mimetic nanoscavengers that integrate ROS‐scavenging Mn3O4 nanozymes with DNase‐1‐mediated NETs degradation to suppress cGAS‐STING signaling, reprogram macrophage polarization, and effectively alleviate

Promoter Hypermethylation‐Induced Silencing of FXYD1 Drives Breast Cancer Metastasis via DDX5‐Mediated Wnt/β‐Catenin Pathway Activation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies FXYD1 as an epigenetically silenced tumor suppressor in breast cancer. DNA methylation turns off the gene FXYD1 in breast cancer, and low levels predict worse outcomes. Restoring FXYD1 limits breast cancer cells proliferation and metastasis. In the nucleus, FXYD1 recruits the E3 ligase MAEA to K63‐ubiquitinate DDX5 for proteasomal

Decision Processes of a Suicide Bomber – Integrating Economics and Psychology [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper provides a theoretical analysis regarding the rationality of suicide attacks from an economist’s point of view. It is argued that although a terrorist gives up future utility from consumption by committing a suicide attack, this loss can be ...

To Live is to Die: The Effect of Mortality Salience on Memory and Fear of Death [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Terror Management Theory proposes that the threat of death produces existential terror, which accentuates the need for security. This effect of mortality salience awareness of death-is well documented for non-conscious thoughts of death (Martens, Burke ...
