Photo‐Induced Stepwise Liquid Crystal Phase Transition Enabled by Hydrazone Photoswitch
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A judiciously designed bistable hydrazone photoswitch enables a photo‐induced stepwise “order‐disorder” phase transition in liquid crystals. The linear‐to‐bent isomerization disrupts molecular packing, allowing precise tuning of phase transition temperatures.

Combinatorial Tuning of Multigene Biosynthetic Pathways based on RNA Interference
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Small RNA sequencing identifies candidate endogenous Pol III promoters, and subsequent fluorescence screening measures knockdown efficiency to assess promoter strength. Combining promoter strength and shRNA target position enables fine‐grained RNAi regulation of multigene pathways. This strategy enhances β‐carotene production in Schizochytrium sp.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hypoxia‐induced KDM5A downregulation establishes a distinct endothelial repair programme, increasing H3K4me3 at the Tek promoter and intronic enhancer, enabling ISL1 to coordinately activate Tek transcription and induce enhancer‐RNA Tek‐e1. This cis‐regulatory RNA is essential for additional Tek/TIE2 induction through R‐loop formation and reinforced ...
