Corn Zein Nanocarriers for Agrochemical Delivery and Smart Packaging

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores zein, a corn‐derived biodegradable protein, as a multifunctional nanocarrier for sustainable agriculture and packaging. It examines advances in agrochemical delivery, smart packaging, and stimuli‐responsive systems, while addressing scalability, environmental fate, and regulatory barriers.

CRCFound: A Colorectal Cancer CT Image Foundation Model Based on Self‐Supervised Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CRCFound is a self‐supervised learning‐based CT image foundation model for colorectal cancer (CRC). Pretrained on 5137 unlabeled CRC CT images, it learns universal feature representations, enabling efficient adaptation to various clinical tasks. The model demonstrates outstanding performance and generalization across multiple diagnostic and prognosis ...

Homeostasis of Gut Microbiota Protects against Susceptibility to Fungal Pneumonia

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Fungal pneumonia induces inflammation, shown by heightened IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α levels and a growth in Staphylococcus in the alveolar flora. The gut microbiota, acting through the gut‐lung axis via blood, impacts fungal pneumonia susceptibility by altering lung metabolism and inflammatory responses.

The GLP1R Agonist Semaglutide Inhibits Reactive Astrocytes and Enhances the Efficacy of Neural Stem Cell Transplantation Therapy in Parkinson's Disease Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared to transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) alone, the combined treatment of NSCs with semaglutide more effectively improves motor dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) mice. This synergistic effect may result from semaglutide's ability to suppress microglial activation, thereby preventing the transformation of resting astrocytes into ...

Regular versus Irregular Exercise Differentially Modulates Hippocampal‐Hepatic Acetylcholine Flux to Coordinate Fear Memory Extinction and Liver Inflammation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ma et al. report the hippocampal and hepatic acetylcholine (ACh) levels are differently modulated by regular versus irregular exercise, which contributes to coordinate hippocampal astrocyte activity and hepatic FBXL6high neutrophil recruitment. This ACh‐modulated brain‐liver circuit links the effects of exercise on fear memory extinction and liver ...

Crohn's disease and nutrition

open access: yesJournal of British Surgery, 1992
Abstract Malnutrition was included by Crohn as one of the features of the new disease he described. Most patients with Crohn's disease are malnourished even if their disease is not active. Nutritional factors may be implicated in the aetiology of the disease, but this remains unproven.

Pigment Epithelium‐Derived Factor Deficiency Impairs Hippocampal Glutamate Homeostasis and Cognitive Function by Downregulating Astrocytic GLT‐1

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The chronic glutamate‐induced excitotoxicity hypothesis has profoundly informed the therapeutic strategies employed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study shows pigment epithelium‐derived factor (PEDF) regulates astrocytic glutamate transporter‐1 (GLT‐1)‐mediated glutamate homeostasis and cognition. Reduced PEDF correlates with lower Mini‐Mental State
