Magnetic Field Driven Microrobot Based on Hydrogels
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Hydrogel‐based magnetic microrobots synergize remote magnetic control with the biocompatibility of flexible hydrogels, emerging as promising tools for minimally invasive biomedicine. This enables remotely controllable, untethered navigation within complex biological microenvironments.

Male sperm storage compromises sperm motility in guppies [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2014 Sperm senescence can have important evolutionary implications due to its deleterious effects on sperm quality and offspring performance. Consequently, it has been argued that polyandry (female multiple mating) may facilitate the selection of younger, and therefore competitively superior, sperm when ejaculates from multiple males compete ...

Validation of the polysemen admixture on viability and acrosomal morphology of boar spermatozoa [PDF]
, 2007 Semen were collected using artificial vagina (AV), from 5 large white boars aged 2-2.5 years twice a week for 16 weeks in each of the two seasons, early rainy (ER) and late rainy (LR) seasons, to determine the effects of multiple semen pool admixture on ...

Understanding miR‐200c: an Important Player in Resistance to Cancer Treatment
Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.How can one microRNA alter cancer's response to therapy? miR‐200c plays a central role in therapeutic resistance by modulating epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, apoptosis, cancer stemness features, and drug efflux. This review outlines the context‐dependent functions of miR‐200c in various cancers and highlights its potential as both a biomarker and a

Post‐Translational Modifications in Cilia and Ciliopathies
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review synthesizes current understanding of post‐translational modifications (PTMs) in ciliary proteins and emphasizes their roles in ciliary formation, homeostasis, and signaling. This review also discusses the implication of PTM dysregulation in ciliopathies and explores therapeutic strategies targeting PTM‐modifying enzymes.

Does prohibitin expression regulate sperm mitochondrial membrane potential, sperm motility, and male fertility? [PDF]
, 2012 Prohibitin (PHB) is a highly conserved major sperm mitochondrial membrane protein whose absence in somatic cells is associated with mitochondrial membrane depolarization and increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Advanced Science, EarlyView.High QSOX2 enhances stemness, drug resistance, and metastasis of ESCC cells. QSOX2‐mediated disulfide bond modification activates mTOR/c‐Myc signaling. CAFs‐secreted IGF‐1 drives mTOR/c‐Myc/QSOX2 positive feedback loop. Combining Ebselen, rapamycin, and cisplatin induces tumor dormancy in mice.
