Cross‐Scale Hierarchical Targeted Delivery System Based on Small‐Scale Magnetic Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article reviews a cross‐scale hierarchical targeted delivery system that integrates magnetic continuum robots and magnetic microrobots. By combining rapid long‐range navigation with precise microscale targeting, the system overcomes key limitations of single‐scale approaches.

Effective diagnosis and localization of pleuroperitoneal communication in a patient on peritoneal dialysis using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and pneumoperitoneum: a case report and literature review

Renal Replacement Therapy
Background Pleuroperitoneal communication (PPC) is a serious complication that may necessitate the discontinuation of peritoneal dialysis. Accurate identification of the communication site is essential for successful thoracoscopic surgery. In this report,

ELABELA Targets Mitochondria to Modulate Heart Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The role of peptide ELABELA (ELA) in cardiomyocyte apoptosis and congenital heart disease (CHD) is unclear. ELA deficiency caused cardiomyocyte apoptosis and CHD. A novel ELA‐APJ‐AKT‐BCL2/BAX axis in regulating mitochondrial function and contributing to CHD pathogenesis was established.

Effect of right ventricular dysfunction on mortality in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis: a retrospective cohort study

Renal Replacement Therapy
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major complication in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). While the effect of left ventricular dysfunction on patients on MHD is well known, the association between right ventricular (RV) dysfunction ...

LMO7 Suppresses Tumor‐Associated Macrophage Phagocytosis of Tumor Cells Through Degradation of LRP1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LMO7 in tumor‐associated macrophages suppresses phagocytosis of tumor cells and limits cytotoxic T lymphocytes infiltration, fostering tumor progression. Mechanistically, LMO7 mediates the ubiquitination and degradation of the phagocytic receptor LRP1, impairing its ability to engulf tumor cells and driving macrophages toward an antitumor phenotype ...

Retroperitoneal leakage causing ultrafiltration failure during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: a case report and literature review

Renal Replacement Therapy
Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with various complications, and the leakage of dialysate can lead to the discontinuation of PD. Retroperitoneal leakage (RPL) can be diagnosed on the basis of dialysate leakage, and, because there are few

TRMT6‐Mediated m1A Modification of CDK9 mRNA Is a Dual‐Pronged Pathogenic Driver for HBV‐Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TRMT6‐mediated m1A modification in CDK9 mRNA enhances its mRNA stability and translation efficiency, thereby increasing the protein levels of CDK9. Upregulated CDK9 promotes the progression of HCC by elevating the levels of oncogenic factors including p‐STAT3, MCL1, and BCL‐2. On the other hand, CDK9 phosphorylates TARDBP at Ser254 to activate HBV core
