Nucleoside‐Based Hydrogel Platform Synergizes with Photothermal Effects for Enhanced Biofilm Eradication Against Periodontitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A synergistic antibiofilm hydrogel platform (ZBAg@FNP) is developed by encapsulating an organic small‐molecule photothermal agent (FNP) within a silver ion‐mediated supramolecular hydrogel (ZBAg), enabling photothermal disruption of biofilm integrity and controlled Ag⁺ ion release upon irradiation.

Intratumoral Fusobacterium nucleatum Drives Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts Enrichment and Immune Exclusion in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Fusobacterium nucleatum contributes to the progression of ESCC by inducing NF‐κB–mediated inflammatory signaling in tumor cells and promoting CAFs activation. Its presence may facilitate immune exclusion and tumor invasion through stromal remodeling. Furthermore, F.
