The Vice of "Virtue": Teaching Consumer Practice in an Unjust World

Journal of Moral Theology, 2018
In an age of “conspicuous consumption,” a classical consumer virtue argument warrants critique for the tenuous connection it makes between personal virtue and the social good. Reflection on race and class variations in consumption patterns, alerts to the

Cytokine‐Engineered Chimeric Antigen Receptor‐T Cell Therapy: How to Balance the Efficacy and Toxicity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cytokine‐engineered CAR‐T cells represent a promising immunotherapy against malignancies due to direct tumor killing and potent immunity response. However, significant toxicities, including CRS and ICANS, have restricted clinical applications. How to keep the risk‐benefit balance of the advanced therapy is of great importance for maximizing the benefit

Piezo‐Phototronic PVDF/HfO2/Nano‐Cu Heterostructured Thin Film for Flexible Self‐Powered Multimodal Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electrospinning a composite of PVDF, HfO2, and nano‐Cu transforms the discrete precursors into a continuous nanofiber mesh, forming a multi‐interface heterostructure with embedded nanoparticles. The presence of HfO2 and nano‐Cu at the fiber interfaces induces a highly aligned β‐phase, which enhances piezoelectric crystallinity and improves the material'

Cross‐Platform Biosensing of Immune Receptors Using Peptide‐Functionalized Graphene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A peptide‐functionalized graphene biosensor enables sensitive and selective detection of living immune cells. Targeting Formyl‐Peptide Receptor 2 (FPR2), the assay is demonstrated on model cells and primary human neutrophils. The same assay is applied to two complementary platforms: graphene‐enhanced surface plasmon resonance for optical benchmarking ...

Feline‐Inspired Robot Enabled by Combustion‐Driven Actuators for Agile Motion and High‐Payload Obstacle Traversal

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...

T Cell Exhaustion in Cancer Immunotherapy: Heterogeneity, Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Opportunities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
T cell exhaustion limits immunotherapy efficacy. This article delineates its progression from stem‐like to terminally exhausted states, governed by persistent antigen, transcription factors, epigenetics, and metabolism. It maps the exhaustion landscape in the TME and proposes integrated reversal strategies, providing a translational roadmap to overcome

SpatialESD: Spatial Ensemble Domain Detection in Spatial Transcriptomics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spatial transcriptomics (ST) measures gene expression while preserving spatial context within tissues. One of the key tasks in ST analysis is spatial domain detection, which remains challenging due to the complex structure of ST data and the varying performance of individual clustering methods. To address this, we propose SpatialESD, a Spatial
