Mechanical Biomimetic Nanocomposites for Multidimensional Treatment of Arterial Thrombosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, a mechanical biomimetic nanocomposite is developed, guided by photoacoustic imaging, to achieve highly efficient and safe thrombolysis through the synergistic effects of photothermal therapy and pharmacological intervention. Most notably, the nanoparticle improves the microenvironment of arterial thrombi, marked by high shear stress and ...

Mitochondrial stress in advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis associated with chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Adaptive mitochondrial mechanisms allow mitochondrial resilience and prevent the worsening of fibrosis, while deregulation of these mechanisms promotes the progression from no/minimal‐mild (F0‐F2) fibrosis to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis (F3‐F4). Abstract Background and Aims Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection causes oxidative stress (OS) and alters ...

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 ...

Supplementation of 17β-Estradiol Normalizes Rapid Gastric Emptying by Restoring Impaired Nrf2 and nNOS Function in Obesity-Induced Diabetic Ovariectomized Mice

Antioxidants, 2020
Gastroparesis (Gp) is a multifactorial condition commonly observed in females and is characterized by delayed or rapid gastric emptying (GE). The role of ovarian hormones on GE in the pathogenesis of obesity induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is ...

Kinsenoside‐Loaded Microneedle Accelerates Diabetic Wound Healing by Reprogramming Macrophage Metabolism via Inhibiting IRE1α/XBP1 Signaling Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gut metabolite trimethylamine N‐oxide accumulates in the diabetic wound area to amplify macrophage inflammation via enhancing glycolysis activities. Kinsenoside induces macrophage repolarization from M1 to M2 phenotype through inhibiting IRE1α/XBP1 pathway, followed by HIF‐1α‐glycolysis axis repression and mitophagy‐oxidative phosphorylation axis ...

Gas Bubbles from Biodegradable Magnesium Implants Convey Mechanical Cues and Promote Immune Cell Stimulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bubbles in soft tissue are the unavoidable consequence of magnesium implant degradation in patients, yet their biological significance remains unclear. Using advanced imaging and spatial transcriptomics, this study reveals a pronounced inflammatory and mechanical response near bubbles, contrasting with pro‐regenerative events closer to the implant ...
