Coactosin‐Like Protein Reduces Prostaglandin D2 Production in Alveolar Macrophages and Alleviates Allergic Airway Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Coactosin‐like protein inhibits prostaglandin D₂ (PGD2) secretion by modulating alveolar macrophage polarization, thereby suppressing activation of the PGD2 receptor CRTH2 in Th2‐associated immune cells and alleviating allergic airway inflammation.

PIM1 Attenuates Innate Immunity to Foster Coronavirus Replication through Ubiquitin Ligase β‐TrCP‐Mediated IFNAR1 Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hijacking Host Kinase PIM1: A β‐Coronavirus (OC43) strategy to degrade IFNAR1 and evade antiviral immunity. Human β‐coronaviruses (OC43) exploit the proto‐oncoprotein PIM1 kinase to sabotage innate immunity. Viral RNA/proteins upregulate PIM1, which phosphorylates E3 ligase β‐TrCP1.

Targeting Neutrophil/Eosinophil Extracellular Traps by Aptamer‐Functionalized Nanosheets to Overcome Recalcitrant Inflammatory Disorders

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, C‐TAH, as multifunctional nanosheets, is developed with tannic acid and histone aptamer coverage. C‐TAH displays mild cytotoxicity, robust dsDNA and NETs/EETs binding efficiency, and potent antioxidant and antibacterial ability in vitro. C‐TAH treatment ameliorates dysregulated inflammation and restores hearing function in animal models,

A Wearable AI‐Driven Mask with Humidity‐Sensing Respiratory Microphone for Non‐Vocal Communication

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A wearable, plug‐and‐play respiratory microphone—featuring a gold nanoparticle‐based humidity sensor—facilitates voice‐free verbal communication for patients with impaired vocal fold function. Abstract Hoarseness and dysphonia caused by vocal cord conditions or laryngeal surgeries significantly hinder communication and quality of life.
