This study demonstrates that tumor‐derived IL‐35 promotes pancreatic cancer fibrosis by indirectly activating pancreatic stellate cells through IGFBP2/IGF‐1R/PI3K‐Akt and Tsp‐1/TGF‐β pathways. IL‐35 blockade reduces stromal fibrosis, restores chemosensitivity, and synergizes with gemcitabine‐based regimens, highlighting IL‐35 as a promising therapeutic

Stabilized Ion Selectivity Corrects Activation Drift in Kalium Channelrhodopsins
As newly emerged optogenetic tools, potassium channelrhodopsins (KCRs) can drift from inhibition to activation during illumination as K⁺ selectivity declines. It is shown that both the absolute K⁺/Na⁺ permeability ratio and its stability over time govern this drift, identify KCR1‐C29D as a reliably inhibitory variant, and outline design principles for ...

The VHL‐HIF2α (VHL is Von Hippel‐Lindau) axis in adipocytes differentially regulates hematopoiesis and bone formation through stem cell factor (SCF) and chemerin, respectively. This hypoxia‐responsive pathway in adipocytes establishes a systemic signaling network with HSCs and MSCs to maintain tissue homeostasis, revealing a targetable axis for ...

Edible Pneumatic Battery for Sustained and Repeated Robot Actuation
This work presents an edible energy source and valve system to power soft, pneumatically driven edible robots. A chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate and citric acid generates carbon dioxide gas, and a pressure‐triggered edible valve enables self‐repetitive motion of the edible actuator.
