Precision‐Guided Stealth Missiles in Biomedicine: Biological Carrier‐Mediated Nanomedicine Hitchhiking Strategy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Diagram illustrating the binding methods of NPs and biological barriers. The biological carrier‐mediated nanomedicine hitchhiking strategy (BCM‐NHS) utilizes two distinct techniques: the surface‐based “Backpack” method, which relies on ligand‐receptor binding, covalent conjugation, and non‐covalent binding, and the encapsulated “Trojan horse” approach,

Astrocytic ET‐1 System Determines Microglia Phenotype Following Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study reveals that astrocytic ET‐1 system is solely activated by thrombin following SCI via RhoA/NF‐κB and MAPKs/NF‐κB signal pathway. The release of astrocytic ET‐1 drives microglia polarization toward M1 phenotype through YAP signaling via ETA and ETB receptors.

The impact of delayed adjuvant chemotherapy on survival in gastric cancer patients with and without preoperative chemotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Delayed initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) is associated with significantly poorer postoperative survival in patients with gastric cancer, irrespective of whether preoperative chemotherapy was administered. These findings emphasize the importance of timely AC initiation to improve long‐term outcomes in this patient population.

Long‐Term Nutritional Benefits of Laparoscopic Pancreatoduodenectomy Over Open Surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Minimally invasive laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) significantly improves long‐term nutritional outcomes compared to open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). LPD patients demonstrated better preservation of muscle mass index (PMI) and a lower incidence of postoperative fatty liver.
