Tough and Temperature‐Resistant Material Based on Bombyx mori Silk Fibroin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We propose a biomimetic “Hydration‐Crystallization Locking” (HCL) strategy inspired by Bombyx mori spinning to enhance silk fibroin (SF) performance in extreme temperatures. A flexible fibroin membrane (FFM) shows high strength, toughness, and shape retention under −196°C and 70°C.

Multimodal AI‐Driven Identification of Dehydrocostus Lactone as a Potent Renal Fibrosis Attenuator Targeting IQGAP1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Renal fibrosis, a hallmark of CKD, lacks effective treatments. Herein, we developed a multimodal AI model (TCM‐SPred) to identify anti‐fibrotic agents and found that dehydrocostus lactone (DCL) targets IQGAP1 to inhibit Wnt signaling, blocking the interaction between IQGAP1 and CCT3, demonstrating potent anti‐fibrotic activity in vitro and in vivo ...

EGaIn‐Activated Bioinspired Silk Micro/Nanofibril Eutectogels Breaking the Strength–Conductivity Trade‐Off for High‐Performance Wearable Bioelectronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the extracellular matrix, eutectogels are prepared by in situ deconstruction of silk fibroin into micro/nanofibrils and EGaIn‐induced polymerization. The multiscale fibril network with dynamic crosslinking achieves high strength (1.25 MPa), toughness (23.09 MJ m−3), and conductivity (1.51 S m−1), outperforming previous natural polymer ...

Exploring the Vasculitis‐Tumors Link: Epidemiological Patterns, Mechanistic Insights, and Clinical Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review outlines association between vasculitis and malignancies and provides practical value for clinicians in distinguishing primary vasculitis from malignancy‐associated forms and optimizing patient surveillance, improving recognition of tumor‐associated vasculitis to reduce the risk of misdiagnosis, supporting more accurate clinical decision ...
