Versatile Co‐Engineering of Immunogenic Cell Death‐Primed Dead Tumor Cell Bodies With Tumor‐Activated MnO2 for cGAS‐STING‐Potentiated Personalized Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
DTBEI@CS@MnO2, fabricated via modular electrostatic co‐engineering and photothermal/photodynamic immunogenic cell death, specifically responds to the acidic and GSH‐rich tumor microenvironment. This triggers the release of DTBEI that provides tumor antigens, DNA, and DAMPs, as well as the generation of Mn2+, thereby synergistically potentiating cGAS ...

Proteogenomic Profiling of Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Identifies Sex‐Differential Proteins and Candidate Therapeutic Targets

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated proteogenomic analysis of 44,137 predominantly European‐ancestry UK Biobank participants aged 40–69 years identifies 12 robust proteins associated with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. These proteins define a high‐mortality molecular endotype, support early detection and mortality prediction, reveal sex‐differential proteomic ...
