Clinical and pathophysiological roles of lower lobe–dominant mucus plugs on computed tomography in patients with asthma with and without bronchiectasis

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: Global
Background: Despite the clinical relevance of mucus plugging, the role of spatial distribution of mucus plugs remains unclear in patients with asthma. Objective: We sought to examine whether greater lower lobe mucus plug dominance is associated with more

Ratiometric Temperature Sensing through Alternating Current Electroluminescence

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Thermoresponsive alternating current electroluminescence (ACEL) is realized in ZnS microparticles with optimized Cu, Cl, and Co tri‐doping concentrations, exhibiting a blue‐to‐green emission band shift along with increasing temperature. Based on this behavior, an ACEL‐driven temperature sensing platform is developed for quantitative temperature ...

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Ovarian Matrisome Dynamics and αvβ3‐Mediated Regulation in Early Follicular Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The matrisome undergoes dynamic remodeling during early follicular development. Integrin αvβ3 mediates matrisome signals, regulating primordial follicle activation/atresia and secondary follicle growth via Hippo/mTOR pathways, with conserved roles in human ovaries, offering therapeutic targets for ovarian disorders.

Astrocyte Enrichment of 3D Cortical Constructs Enhances Brain Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights the role of astrocytes in supporting neural progenitor cell survival and differentiation after traumatic brain injury. Astrocytes enhanced neuronal differentiation, improved cell survival in co‐cultures, and promoted integration of microfluidics‐based implants with host tissue following implantation. Additionally, increased axonal
