GHRHR Deficiency Enhances Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Visual Functions in Experimental Glaucoma by Inhibiting Ferroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.

Twin‐Lever Multifunctional Meta‐Optics With High Longitudinal Tolerance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a single‐layer, CMOS‐compatible metasurface that allows for polarization‐programmable, achromatic broadband dual‐mode imaging with high longitudinal tolerance. The twin‐lever design combines bright‐field focusing and vortex‐based edge‐enhanced imaging while managing axial intensity distribution from 488 to 633 nm.

Core and π‐Bridge Engineering to Deconstruct Y6‐Series into Modular Non‐Fused Acceptors: DFT‐Guided Structure‐Property Map for Organic Solar Cells

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The rigid fused backbone of Y6‐series acceptors is deconstructed into a modular, non‐fused A‐π‐A′‐π‐A architecture. Comprehensive quantum chemical simulations reveal that strategic core and π‐bridge engineering preserves strong near‐infrared light‐harvesting and enhances intramolecular charge‐transfer character.
