Ultrasound‐Activatable Piezoelectric Hydrogel Reprograms Mitochondrial Epigenetics for Osteoarthritis Therapy via the mTOR/GATD3A Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An ultrasound‐activatable piezoelectric hydrogel reprograms chondrocyte mitochondrial epigenetics via the mTOR/GATD3A axis, clearing damaged mitochondria and alleviating osteoarthritis progression in both mouse models and human cartilage explants. ABSTRACT The avascular nature of cartilage hinders drug delivery for osteoarthritis (OA) therapy.

Nanomaterials for Allergy Diagnosis and Treatment: Advances, Opportunities and Translational Challenges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials offer dual applications in allergy management. For diagnosis, nanomaterials enhance analytical sensitivity and improve detection in specific IgE and functional assays such as the basophil activation test (BAT). For allergen‐specific immunotherapy, nanomaterials enable allergen masking and controlled release, and effectively modulate the ...

Sustained Delivery of a Shingles Subunit Vaccine Overcomes Age‐Related Declines in Humoral and Cellular Immunity Relative to Shingrix

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sustained delivery of a shingles subunit vaccine from an injectable polymer–nanoparticle hydrogel enhanced the potency, durability, and breadth of immune responses in aged mice while minimizing inflammatory cytokine production and reactogenicity. This strategy decouples immunogenicity from reactogenicity and offers a promising approach to improve ...

Ultrasound‐Activated Piezoelectric Neuroimmune Hydrogel Orchestrates Neurogenesis‐Macrophage Crosstalk in Diabetic Wound Healing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, we design an ultrasound‐activated piezoelectric hydrogel platform (AOEF@AP5+US) that reprograms neurogenesis‐macrophage crosstalk as an integrated strategy to overcome the intertwined barriers of chronic inflammation, peripheral neuropathy, and impaired regeneration in diabetic wounds.

Aberrant GRP78 Phase Transition Sustains Endothelial IRE1α Signaling and Drives Blood–Brain Barrier Failure in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Vascular Aβ40 corrupts GRP78 phase behavior in brain endothelial cells, sustaining IRE1α–TRAF2–JNK signaling and driving apoptosis, tight junction loss, and blood–brain barrier failure in cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Pharmacological IRE1α inhibition restores vascular integrity, reduces leakage, and improves functional outcomes, revealing a targetable ...
