Cu and Cu‐30Ni Alloy as Anti‐Viral Materials for High‐Touch Surfaces: Efficacy in a Simulated Public Environment with Frequent Cleaning Practices

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the antiviral efficacy and corrosion behavior of pure copper and Cu‐30Ni alloy on high‐touch surfaces under simulated public conditions with periodic cleaning. Copper shows faster virus inactivation due to higher ion release, while Cu‐30Ni offers better aesthetic durability.

Emodin Alleviates Sepsis‐Induced Multiorgan Damage by Inhibiting NETosis through Targeting Neutrophils BCL‐10

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Emodin targets BCL‐10 to modulate the BCL‐10/MALT1 complex, thereby suppressing NF‐κB activation and significantly exerting multiorgan protective effects in sepsis. Abstract Sepsis is a life‐threatening condition caused by dysregulated host responses to infection, characterized by excessive inflammation and abnormal coagulation.

Rate of isolation of streptococcus species from children with bacterial infections: an indication for introduction of streptococcal vaccines

Nigerian Journal of Paediatrics
Background: Streptococcus species are among the commonest bacterial causes of childhood morbidity in developing countries. Streptococcal diseases in children have not been as well characterized in Nigeria as it has been in industrialized countries.

Pigment Epithelium‐Derived Factor Deficiency Impairs Hippocampal Glutamate Homeostasis and Cognitive Function by Downregulating Astrocytic GLT‐1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The chronic glutamate‐induced excitotoxicity hypothesis has profoundly informed the therapeutic strategies employed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study shows pigment epithelium‐derived factor (PEDF) regulates astrocytic glutamate transporter‐1 (GLT‐1)‐mediated glutamate homeostasis and cognition. Reduced PEDF correlates with lower Mini‐Mental State

Group A Streptococci-Associated Necrotizing Fasciitis following Cat Bite in an Immunocompromised Patient

Case Reports in Critical Care, 2017
Necrotizing soft tissue infections are characterized clinically by fulminant tissue destruction, systemic signs of toxicity, and high mortality. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment must include early surgical intervention and antibiotic therapy.

Calhm6 Governs Macrophage Polarization Through Chp1‐Camk4‐Creb1 Axis and Ectosomal Delivery in Inflammatory Responses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Calhm6 drives M2 macrophage polarization via the Chp1‐Camk4‐Creb1 axis, suppressing inflammation through calcium‐dependent ectosomal delivery. Calhm6 deficiency enhances M1 responses, boosting bactericidal activity but exacerbating tissue damage. LPS/IFNγ upregulate Calhm6 via Irf1, while IL‐4/Stat6 inhibits it, balancing immune outcomes.
