A Decoy‐Receptor‐Armed Biomimetic Nanotherapeutic With Inherent Tropism for Conserved Pathogenic Macrophages for Treating Osteoarthritis and Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic doppelgänger nanosystem neutralizes extracellular inflammatory cytokines and silences intracellular pyroptosis, reprogramming pathogenic macrophages to attenuate both joint and spine degeneration. ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) are debilitating musculoskeletal disorders driven by shared ...

Loss of LCN2 Function Ameliorates Glucocorticoid‐Induced Muscle Atrophy via Remodeling the Extracellular Matrix

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glucocorticoids transcriptionally activate LCN2 expression via GR nuclear translocation. Secreted LCN2 binds MMP9 to degrade skeletal muscle ECM collagen, blocks integrin‐mediated mechanotransduction, bidirectionally disrupts muscle protein homeostasis, and reveals a novel target for steroid‐induced muscle atrophy.

Engineered N-TIMP2 Variant Specifically Targeting MMP-9 Exhibits Potent Anti-Glioblastoma Activity

Biomolecules
Glioblastoma (GB) is the most aggressive form of brain cancer. However, despite intensive intervention, GB almost invariably recurs due to the highly invasive nature of its tumor cells, which infiltrate surrounding healthy brain tissue, underscoring the ...

Engineered Cyanobacteria‐Hydrogel Microecological System for Oxygen Reprogramming Synergizes Immunomodulation With Anabolism in Osteoarthritis Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An injectable cyanobacteria‐laden hydrogel enables light‐dependent oxygen metabolism engineering for osteoarthritis therapy. Photosynthetic oxygen release under red light irradiation suppresses synovial inflammation via HIF‐1α inhibition and M2 macrophage polarization, while respiratory oxygen consumption in darkness stabilizes chondrocyte HIF‐1α to ...

SynNotch Receptors for Visualizing Immunoreceptor Force Transmission and Downstream Signaling In Vivo

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A mechanically activated SynNotch reporter platform enables detection of force transmission through receptors as they mediate immune cell interactions. Targeting CD40 on B cells and TCR on T cells records force‐induced reporter activation across 2D coculture, 3D organoid, and implanted in mice, which also reveal force‐amplification of immune receptor ...

Dual‐Gene Edited Extracellular Vesicles Remodel the Redox Homeostasis to Inhibit Ferroptosis in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is driven by ferroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) as a core pathological mechanism. Nucleus pulposus progenitor cells (NPPCs), exhibiting stem cell‐like properties, yield extracellular vesicles (PEVs) with high affinity for NPCs and enable targeted phenotypic regulation.

Autophagy Orchestrates Anti‐Tumor Immunity to Enhance Chemosensitivity via the FBXW2/C/EBPβ/TIMP‐2 Axis in Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy leverages tumor‐cell autophagy to reshape the colorectal cancer immune microenvironment. Autophagy degrades FBXW2 to promote C/EBPβ‐mediated TIMP‐2 transcription and MMP‐9 suppression, driving intra‐tumoral CD8+ T‐cell infiltration. Targeting MMP‐2/9 or restoring TIMP‐2 overcomes chemo‐resistance in autophagy‐deficient tumors. ABSTRACT The

ACSL4‐Dependent Lysosomal Lipid Peroxidation Links WTAP‐Mediated m6A Modification to Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IL‐1β upregulates the protein level of WTAP, which promotes the m6A modification of ACSL4 mRNA in an IGF2BP2‐dependent manner, thereby enhancing its stability. The increased ACSL4 drives lipid peroxidation, leading to lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and impaired mitophagy, which collectively accelerate intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD).
