Precision Editing of NLRS Improves Effector Recognition for Enhanced Disease Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Precision engineering of plant NLR immune receptors enables rational design of enhanced pathogen resistance through mismatched pairing, domain swapping, and targeted mutagenesis. These approaches achieve multi‐fold expansion in recognition breadth while minimizing autoimmunity risks and fitness penalties.

CD27 and ICOS as Targets of PD‐1/PD‐L1 Signaling to Regulate Resident Memory CD8+ T‐Cell‐Mediated Pulmonary Protection and Pathology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here it is revealed that the costimulatory receptors CD27 and ICOS are essential for the long‐term maintenance of PD‐1high CD8+ TRM cells following influenza infection. PD‐L1 blockade enhances the proliferation and activation of these cells through Nur77 activation downstream of the CD27/ICOS signaling axis, thereby boosting host immunity against ...

Cyclic di-GMP as an antitoxin regulates bacterial genome stability and antibiotic persistence in biofilms

eLife
Biofilms are complex bacterial communities characterized by a high persister prevalence, which contributes to chronic and relapsing infections. Historically, persister formation in biofilms has been linked to constraints imposed by their dense structures.

PBRM1 Deficiency Reshapes an Immune Suppressive Microenvironment Through Epigenetic Tuning of PBRM1‐KDM5C‐IL6 Axis in ccRCC

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PBRM1 ranks as the second most commonly mutated gene in ccRCC. This study reveals that PBRM1 loss promotes an immunosuppressive microenvironment by elevating M2 TAMs via the KDM5C–IL‐6 axis. These M2 TAMs, along with CAFs, form a barrier that excludes CD8+ T cells. Targeting IL‐6 synergizes with anti‐PD1 therapy, offering a promising strategy for PBRM1‐

Dual Targeting of Mutant p53 and SNRPD2 via Engineered Exosomes Modulates Alternative Splicing to Suppress Ovarian Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mutant p53 drives oncogenic splicing to promote the progression of ovarian cancer by partnering with the spliceosome factor SNRPD2. Therefore, it is engineered iRGD‐exosomes to co‐deliver siRNAs against both targets. This approach restored tumor‐suppressive mRNA isoforms, effectively enhanced sensitivity to cisplatin, and ultimately blocked tumor ...

CircTspan3 Promotes Cartilage Development Through ANNEXIN A2‐Mediated Ferroptosis and Apoptosis Inhibition and Exosome‐Mediated Paracrine Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that XBP1s drives production of circTspan3, a circular RNA that strengthens cartilage by boosting anabolic activity and limiting cell death. Phosphorylated ANXA2 directs circTspan3 into exosomes, enabling paracrine repair. Exosomal circTspan3 expands growth‐plate cartilage and promotes in vivo regeneration, highlighting its promise ...

Population‐Based Multi‐Omics and Cohort Study Identifying Predictive Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets for Psoriatic Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Psoriatic disease (PsD) is a chronic skin disease, with challenges in early risk stratification and drug development. Through gene‐level causal inference framework and expression level validation, combined with longitudinal cohort study, CDSN and PRSS8 have been identified as candidate biomarkers and therapeutic targets for PsD.
