Red Blood Cell‐Induced Bacterial Margination Improves Microbial Hemoadsorption on Engineered Cell‐Depleted Thrombi, Restoring Severe Bacteremia in Rats

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A highly efficient extracorporeal device for treating bacteremia is developed by integrating microfluidic bacterial margination and engineered cell‐depleted thrombi strategically constructed in the device. The rodent models, severely infected with antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, recover from bacteremia after two subsequent extracorporeal blood ...

Mechanical Biomimetic Nanocomposites for Multidimensional Treatment of Arterial Thrombosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, a mechanical biomimetic nanocomposite is developed, guided by photoacoustic imaging, to achieve highly efficient and safe thrombolysis through the synergistic effects of photothermal therapy and pharmacological intervention. Most notably, the nanoparticle improves the microenvironment of arterial thrombi, marked by high shear stress and ...

Colorectal Cancer Cells–Derived Exosomal PIK3CA Mutation DNA Promotes Tumor Metastasis by Activating Fibroblast and Affecting Tumor Metastatic Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PIK3CAH1047R DNA in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell‐derived exosomes can be delivered into recipient fibroblasts, where it is transcribed and translated, leading to the activation of fibroblasts into cancer‐associated fibroblasts, which secrete elevated levels of IL6. The simultaneous detection and targeting of PIK3CAH1047R mutation and IL6 may serve as a

DNase I‐Mediated Chemotactic Nanoparticles for NETs Targeting and Microenvironment Remodeling Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play an important role in reperfusion injury in ischemic stroke. Here, considering the unique vascular localization of NETs, a DNase I‐mediated NETs‐targeting nanoparticle is developed to integrate the catalytic and chemotactic functions of DNase I and achieve the synergistic regulation of the internal and ...

Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 Protects Mice Against Cardiac Fibrosis by Inhibiting Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator-mediated Plasminogen Activation

Scientific Reports, 2017
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is known to protect mice against cardiac fibrosis. It has been speculated that PAI-1 may regulate cardiac fibrosis by inactivating urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and ultimately plasmin (Pm) generation.
