Light‐Driven Quadrupedal Walking Biohybrid Robot With Antagonistic Muscle‐Rings and Inclined Joints
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a light‐driven quadrupedal walking biohybrid robot powered by antagonistic muscle‐rings that achieve alternating walking gait. Optical training improved reproducibility of cultured muscle tissues, while caffeine treatment enhanced contractile force.

The cellular fate of mutant rhodopsin: quality control, degradation and aggresome formation [PDF]
, 2002 Mutations in the photopigment rhodopsin are the major cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. The majority of mutations in rhodopsin lead to misfolding of the protein.

Mutation-independent treatment of autosomal dominant Retinitis Pigmentosa (adRP) [PDF]
, 2010 Viral-mediated gene therapy holds great promise for the treatment of severe inherited retinal diseases, such as Retintitis Pigmentosa (RP), which is caused by mutations in genes preferentially expressed in photoreceptor cells. The availability of vectors

Early Retinal UCHL1 Dysregulation Coupled With Synaptic Loss Reflects Alzheimer's Disease Severity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies synapse‐enriched deubiquitinase UCHL1 as an early Aβ‐responsive regulator of retinal synaptopathy in Alzheimer's disease. Retinal UCHL1 loss accompanies excitatory synapse degeneration, p75NTR activation, and neuroinflammation, and predicts Braak stage and cognitive decline. Aβ42 fibrils trigger synaptic and UCHL1 depletion before

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ProMetNet introduces a biologically constrained deep learning framework for proteo‐metabolomic integration by embedding Reactome‐derived pathway topology into neural networks. It captures non‐linear molecular dependencies and pathway‐level metabolic reorganization, enabling interpretable discrimination.
