Programmable DNA‐Peptide Hybrid Nanostructures for Potent Neutralization of Multiple Influenza a Virus Subtypes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multivalent antiviral platform based on honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructures (HC–Urumin) is developed to enhance the potency and breadth of the host defense peptide Urumin. Through spatially patterned trimeric presentation, HC–Urumin disrupts influenza A virus entry, improves cell viability, and reduces disease severity in vivo‐offering a modular and ...

Insulin resistance, vulnerable plaque and stroke risk in patients with carotid artery stenosis

Scientific Reports
Insulin resistance (IR) is linked to both the vulnerable plaque and the stroke risk. However, the precise extent of this correlation and its impact on stroke risk in carotid artery stenosis patients remain unclear.

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Dual‐Layer Living Hydrogel Enables On‐Demand Delivery of Phages and Probiotics for Synergistic Wound Infection Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐layer living hydrogel, ProΦGel, integrates bacteriophages and probiotics for synergistic wound infection therapy. The outer gelatin‐based matrix releases phages on demand in response to P. aeruginosa infections, while inner alginate beads sustain probiotic delivery.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease attenuates the predictive value of the triglyceride–glucose index for carotid plaque: evidence of insulin resistance-independent pathways

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundInsulin resistance (IR), a key driver of atherosclerosis, is associated with cardiovascular risks such as carotid plaque formation. While the triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index has been established as a reliable surrogate marker of IR, its ...
