Ac‐SDKP modulates apoptosis via HSP27 and the FAS/FASL and mitochondrial axes

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram of Ac‐SDKP regulating the FAS/FASL and mitochondrial apoptosis pathways via HSP27. Ac‐SDKP inhibits HSP27 expression, activates the FAS/FASL pathway and Caspase‐3 signaling, increases Caspase‐8 and Caspase‐3 expression, and induces cell apoptosis.

In Vitro Selection of Functional Neoproteins Containing Highly Fluorinated Cores

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The generation of neoproteins—functional proteins containing unnatural amino acids—is a key goal in synthetic biology. We develop a platform to discover neoproteins with specified bioactivity from trillion‐member sequence libraries, using genetic code reprogramming, in vitro selection and microwave peptide synthesis.

Animal models of anemia of inflammation: Methodological advances, limitations, and translational applications

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Anemia of inflammation is a highly prevalent secondary anemia complicating chronic inflammatory diseases. Current animal models are categorized into sterile inflammation, disease‐specific, and genetically engineered models, with comparative analysis of their modeling principles, characteristic phenotypes, and translational advantages to elucidate core ...

Structure and Function of a Multi‐Megadalton Virus‐Like Proteolytic Dodecahedron

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Zuzalysin, a virulence metallopeptidase of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, is secreted as a latent, flexible ≈95‐kDa monomer. Calcium triggers cysteine‐switch activation and hierarchical assembly into pentamers, bipentamers, tripentamers, and a ≈5.6‐MDa, ≈355‐Å dodecahedron. Structures at 1.8–3.6 Å reveal a virus‐sized catalytic cage

A Comprehensive In Vitro Approach for Assessing the Physiological Degradation of Medical Implants: The Silkothane Arteriovenous Graft Case Study

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Evaluating the degradation of absorbable medical devices in vitro demands physiologically relevant conditions. This study presents a comprehensive framework applied to a three‐layered silk fibroin/polyurethane arteriovenous graft, employing human enzymes at physiological concentrations over 6 months. Multiparametric analyses of both graft structure and

Sequential Design of Activatable Photosensitizers for Ablation of Glioma Cells in Brain Cancer Tissues

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Gal‐SeNBD‐oleamide is an activatable photosensitizer (PS) with efficient uptake and selective, β‐galactosidase‐triggered activation in cancer cells, enabling efficient photodynamic ablation of glioma cells directly in brain tissue slices from mouse preclinical models and human glioblastoma patients.
