A Worm‐Inspired Origami Robot with Multimodal Locomotion for Adaptive Mobility in Complex Pipeline Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes

Slc44a2 Deficiency Unveils an IFN‐I–Dependent Feedback Control of pDC Egress

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Working model of SLC44A2‐mediated maintenance of pDC homeostasis. This model illustrates two central mechanisms by which SLC44A2 regulates pDC homeostasis: (1) SLC44A2 limits IFN‐I production by exporting amino acids (T, N, Q), thereby preventing spontaneous pDC activation.

Effect of Lactulose on the Intestinal Flora of Elderly Constipation Patients With Chronic Renal Insufficiency

open access: yesAGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
This study investigates the regulatory effects of lactulose and polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the composition of gut microbiota in elderly constipation patients with chronic renal insufficiency by comparing the changes in microbial abundance. Both lactulose and PEG significantly modulate the gut microbiota structure, though their specific mechanisms and
