Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore‐Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
While the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii can evade insect humoral immunity, its subversion of cellular defenses is still elusive. We identify Eac1 as a spore‐coat protein essential for infecting drosophilids by targeting atypical mucins (Sgf1 and Sgf2), which can entrap spores in a gel matrix and thereby facilitate hemocyte encapsulation.

Cancer‐Associated BCL‐2 Mutants Reveal Mechanisms Towards Venetoclax Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Venetoclax (VEN) resistance in chronic lymphocytic leukemia arises from diverse BCL2 mutations. We map mechanisms contributing to VEN resistance across common BCL‐2 variants. G101V and D103Y reduce drug binding and increase sequestration of pro‐apoptotic proteins. V156D blocks VEN allosterically.

NSD2 Coordinates the Neurogenic‐to‐Gliogenic Transition via H3K36me2‐Dependent Activation of the EGFR‐ERK Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
NSD2 coordinates the neurogenic‐to‐gliogenic transition in the developing neocortex through H3K36me2‐dependent activation of EGFR–ERK signaling. Loss of NSD2 disrupts astroglial and oligodendroglial development, whereas ERK activation rescues gliogenic defects in vitro and in vivo.

Sounding Grief in Henry Dumas’s “Echo Tree”

Humanities
“Sounding Grief in Henry Dumas’s ‘Echo Tree’” engages Dumas’s experimental short story about two youths discussing how to speak to the dead while on a Southern hillside at dusk. This article studies how this short story meditates on how grief affects our

From Folding Mechanics to Robotic Function: A Unified Modeling Framework for Compliant Origami

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A geometry‐consistent DDG framework captures compliant origami deformation from rigid‐like folding to soft panel bending. By tuning crease and panel stiffness, bistable snap‐through responses transform into smooth monostable deformation, enabling programmable stability and robot‐scale locomotion.

Stochastic Entanglement of Deterministic Origami Tentacles For Robust Robotic Grasping

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces an origami tentacle gripper to robustly grasp objects‐in air, underwater, and even in orbital space‐by exploiting a synergy between local, deterministic deformation programming and global, stochastic entanglements. A single origami tentacle can be designed to coil with a simple tendon pull.

CLRe: A Synergistic Dual‐Engine Framework for One‐Step Retrosynthesis Prediction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CLRe uses a contrastive difficulty score to order pretrained seq2seq fine‐tuning for retrosynthesis. Reaction embeddings define the ranking score, and a cumulative easy‐to‐hard schedule expands from the easiest subset to the full training set while earlier examples remain active.

AI Designed Conformation Locking Peptides Target STING to Restore Diabetic Wound Healing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A generative AI pipeline identifies SCP‐1, a conformation‐locking peptide that stabilizes inactive STING. Incorporated into a dual‐responsive hydrogel for localized, MMP‐9‐triggered release, SCP‐1 suppresses inflammation, promotes reparative macrophage polarization, and accelerates diabetic wound healing.

Nanometer Layer Coating to Lactose Particles for Optimization of Dexamethasone Pulmonary Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanometer layer coating (NLC) was investigated and its mechanism illustrated by advanced characterization techniques. The effects and application for the inhalation of dexamethasone (DEX) were demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo evaluation. This approach increased DEX bioavailability and enabled the dose to be reduced to 1/30 of the intravenous ...

Optically Tunable Threshold Switching and Thermally Activated Transport in Planar Ag/MAPbI3 Thin Single‐Crystal Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Planar Ag/MAPbI3 thin single‐crystal halide perovskite devices show ultralow dark current and optically tunable threshold switching. Illumination enhances the polarity‐dependent hysteresis and shifts the switching voltage, whereas temperature‐dependent measurements reveal thermally activated, contact‐limited transport, underscoring the central role of ...
