Precision Nanomedicine for Traumatic Neural Injury: Functional Paradigms and Translational Frameworks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review presents a pathology‐driven framework unifying nanomedicine across TBI, SCI, and PNI. Epidemiological evidence and comparative single‐cell transcriptomic reanalysis define shared pathological modules, injury‐specific effectors, and therapeutic bottlenecks. Six functional paradigms connect nanomaterial structure and biological fate to injury‐

Donor‐Cell Senescence Redirects PINK1‐Marked Mitochondrial Cargo From Mitophagy to Microvesicle Transfer Through SUMO3‐Stabilized HSPA9

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicle therapies have been developed for tissue repair, but how donor‐cell senescence reshapes vesicle‐mediated mitochondrial transfer remains unclear. Here, we show that senescent adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs) redirect damaged mitochondria into microvesicles (MVs), converting protective vesicles into pro‐degenerative ...

Confronting sex trafficking

International Social Work, 2008
English Sex trafficking, the trafficking of women and children for the purposes of sexual exploitation, is recognized today as a worldwide problem, affecting hundreds of thousands each year. It is not, however, a new phenomenon. This paper will discuss the lessons raised by the National Vigilance Association's response to this problem.

Plasma Membrane Lipid Asymmetry Dynamically Regulates Passive Diffusion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Passive diffusion enables hydrophobic molecules to cross the plasma membrane and exert their biological functions. This study demonstrates that plasma membrane lipid asymmetry, dynamically regulated by lipid scrambling, determines membrane permeability to lipophilic molecules and thereby modulates their cellular activities.

Reln mRNA Delivery Drives Neurogenic Bone Regeneration by Orchestrating Schwann Cell‐Mediated Exosomal Trafficking

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MSNs serve as a robust vehicle for CRISPRa‐mediated Reln induction, driving bone repair through the establishment of a neurogenic‐supportive microenvironment. ABSTRACT Neurogenic bone regeneration is essential for the effective restoration of bone tissue functionality, while the mechanisms and new strategies underlying neurogenic bone regeneration ...

Sex differences in AMPA receptor trafficking proteins

Biology of Sex Differences
AMPA receptors are a type of ionotropic glutamate receptor that is important for fast excitatory neurotransmission. healthy brain function. Glutamate signaling is regulated, in part, by the trafficking of glutamate receptors in and out of the synapse ...
