Integrated ‘Shield‐Spear’ Biological Patch for Fibrosis‐Free Bladder Reconstruction
Fibrosis‐free bladder reconstruction remains challenging. This study pioneers an integrated “shield‐spear” patch: The outer anionic hydrogel layer captures GATA6+ macrophages to suppress collagen overexpression, while the inner S100 aptamer‐engineered EVs target Schwann cells to downregulate the TGFβ/Smad pathway—inhibiting fibrosis with enhanced wound

The NSP5, ORF6 and NSP13 of SARS‐CoV‐2 Cooperate to Modulate Inflammatory Cell Death Activation
ZBP1 is capable of initiating a large cell death complex to induce programmed cell death during SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. However, SARS‐CoV‐2 can inhibit the activation of ZBP1‐mediated cell death by targeting key components of this complex. This suppression of ZBP1‐mediated cell death may account for the increased mortality observed in patients co ...

Microwave‐Activated Bacterial Biorobot for Multimodal Cancer Therapy
An Escherichia coli bacterial biorobot is engineered for localized microwave activation in cancer therapy. Upon activation at tumor sites, the biorobot releases glucose oxidase, inducing tumor cell death via glucose depletion and H2O2 generation catalyzed by Cu2O.

Butyrate—via epigenetic modulation of the histone core—rebalance dysregulated macrophage function and promotes wound healing under persisting hostile conditions of diabetic mice. Additionally, butyrate harmonizes macrophage interactions with keratinocytes and fibroblasts as well as breaks the vicious cycle of inflammation in chronic wounds by restoring
