Understanding the Burden of Orofacial Involvement and Patient Treatment Preferences in Systemic Sclerosis: Results From a Large International Survey

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Orofacial manifestations are significantly impactful in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) yet remain understudied, with no dedicated clinical guidelines to inform their management. Methods An international online survey comprised38 questions addressing orofacial manifestations of SSc, including patients’ confidence in their treating ...

Clinician and Patient Factors Associated With Long‐Term Glucocorticoid Use in People With Rheumatoid Arthritis Receiving Advanced Therapies

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Despite guideline recommendations, long‐term glucocorticoid (GC) use is common in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We conducted a clinician survey nested within a large registry to identify patient and clinician factors associated with GC use. Methods Clinicians contributing patients to the CorEvitas Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry were surveyed ...

Data‐Driven Modeling of Composition–Processing–Microstructure Relations for Recycled Aluminum Cast Alloys

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Interpretable machine learning reveals how composition and processing govern the formation and microstructural burden of Fe‐rich intermetallic compounds in recycled Al–Si–Fe–Mn alloys. By separating morphology selection from morphology‐conditioned burden partitioning, this framework shows that identical Fe contents can yield different intermetallic ...

Low SLC8A1 in Colorectal Cancer Dictates Radiotherapy Resistance Through Calcium‐Dependent ANXA2+sEVs Driving M2 Polarization of TAMs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SLC8A1 deficiency in colorectal cancer cells increases intracellular calcium signaling, promoting the secretion of ANXA2‐enriched small extracellular vesicles. These vesicles reprogram tumor‐associated macrophages towards an M2 phenotype, which in turn fosters a tumor microenvironment conducive to radioresistance and is associated with poor patient ...

KLF5 Downregulation Links Impaired BNIP3‐Mediated Mitophagy to Inflammatory Valve Remodeling in Calcific Aortic Valve Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In human CAVD, KLF5 is reduced in VIC‐rich regions and remodeling/stress‐associated VIC states. In VICs, KLF5 sustains BNIP3 promoter activity and BNIP3‐mediated mitophagy, thereby limiting cytosolic mtDNA accumulation. KLF5 loss weakens mitochondrial quality control and enhances mtDNA‐sensitive STING/NF‐κB/NLRP3 inflammatory signaling under osteogenic

Structural Basis of Lymphangiogenic Receptor VEGFR‐3 Activation Mediated by Distinctive Clustering of the Ligand–Receptor Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
VEGF‐C and its receptor VEGFR‐3 are critical for lymphangiogenesis. Cryo‐EM structures of the VEGFR‐3/VEGF‐C ectodomain complex reveal a canonical 2:2 ligand–receptor hetero‐tetramer that further assembles into higher‐order clusters beyond simple receptor dimerization.
