The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

The Neglected Role of GSDMD C‐Terminal in Counteracting Type I Interferon Signaling
The C‐terminal domain of Gasdermin D (GSDMD‐CT) shows functions beyond pyroptosis. GSDMD‐CT negatively regulates IFN‐I signaling during viral infection by triggering autophagic degradation of RIG‐I and TBK1. GSDMD‐CT interacts with retinoic acid‐inducible gene‐I (RIG‐I) and tank‐binding kinase 1 (TBK1), leading to TRIM28‐mediated ubiquitination and ...

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is promoted by NETs that induce fibroblast activation. PEG‐PIm, a polymeric artificial DNase is reported that efficiently degrades NET‐DNA via phosphodiester bond hydrolysis. Inhalation of PEG‐PIm in a mouse PF model prevents fibroblast activation and fibrosis progression, offering a promising therapeutic strategy for NET ...

DNA Sequential Logic Circuits for Reversible Counters and Dynamic Biomolecular Sensing
In this work, a DNA sequential logic circuit is constructed that combines reusability and autonomy for the first time, including SR (Set‐Reset)‐latches composed of NOR gates, SR‐latches composed of NAND gates, and D (Data)‐latches. After fully utilizing the characteristics of each latch, to counter, toxin and miRNA detection and intracellular dynamic ...

A Phase Separation‐Assisted Pre‐Enrichment Method for Ultrasensitive Respiratory Virus Detection
Conventional biomarker enrichment lacks versatility and specificity. Phase separation‐assisted pre‐enrichment (PSAP) is introduced for concurrent antigen (47×) and RNA (44×) enrichment. Tenfold and fivefold lower detection limits for SARS‐CoV‐2 and Influenza, respectively, were achieved.

A DNA aptamer (A3) with nanomolar affinity for CAR‐T cells is developed via Cell‐SELEX. In Nalm6 tumor‐bearing mice, Cy5‐labeled A3 enables long‐term fluorescence imaging and tracks the biodistribution of CAR‐T cells, with tumor signal peaking on day 14 after CAR‐T cell administration.
