An Ocular Surface‐Targeting Nucleic Acid Hydrogel for Efficient Dry Eye Disease Treatment

Exploration, EarlyView.
A self‐assembled nucleic acid hydrogel modified with mucin‐1 (MUC1) aptamer is developed, which can actively target the mucin layer on the ocular surface and significantly extend its retention time after distillation. Inside the hydrogel, therapeutic siRNA is embedded and can effectively silence the inflammation gene expression, subsequently restoring ...

Zero‐Valent Ruthenium‐Anchored Nanozymes Remodel Tumor Microenvironment for Malignant Tumor Treatment in Combination With αPD‐L1 Immunotherapy

Exploration, EarlyView.
The tumor microenvironment featuring abundant hydrogen peroxide, high glutathione, and hypoxia brings huge obstacles to tumor treatment. In this study, zero‐valent metal‐doped nanozymes (FeRu) can simultaneously regulate these three factors due to the optimized electron transfer and hollow structure: breaking the redox balance of tumor cells ...

Weaving strength and care: Situated reflections on women's work and the epistemology of care in biological anthropology

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay examines how gendered expectations, structural precarity, and institutional hierarchies shape research practices, knowledge production, and career trajectories in biological anthropology. Taking the figure of the “strong woman” as an entry point, it questions celebratory narratives of resilience that frame endurance as an individual

“You just want to re‐open our biggest wounds, don't you?”: Homeplace ethnography as (polluted) environmental method

Since we moved when I was too young to remember, the story had little significance until I embarked on a “hometown” ethnographic journey for my dissertation.
