Decoding Blastocystis‐Driven Mechanisms in Gut Microbiota and Host Metabolism
Blastocystis, a prevalent gut microbe, interacts with the host through metabolic and immune pathways, influencing cardiometabolic health. This perspective explores its role in modulating short‐chain fatty acid production, tryptophan metabolism, and immune signaling, potentially impacting cholesterol absorption, glucose metabolism, and vascular health ...

This study explores the use of ultrasound contrast agents loaded with Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) agonists as an approach to activate the body's immune system against cancer. Termed Microbubble‐assisted UltraSound‐guided Immunotherapy of Cancer (MUSIC), this strategy effectively inhibits tumor growth and improves survival in mouse models of ...

Engineered Probiotics Mitigate Gut Barrier Dysfunction Induced by Nanoplastics
Intestinal barrier stability is vital for gut health. Plastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) disrupts this barrier, causing inflammation and infections. This study encodes transforming growth factor‐β into EcN and modifies its surface with pH‐responsive polymer (EcNT@L), creating an oral drug delivery system to repair nano PET‐induced intestinal ...

Plac1+ Tumor Cell‐Treg Interplay Supports Tumorigenesis and Progression of Head and Neck Cancer
Meng et al. screen genes in the CTAs family and find Plac1 is specifically expressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells. They reveal that Plac1 expression promotes HNSCC progression directly by activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Effect of Extracellular Vesicles Derived From Tumor Cells on Immune Evasion
Immunity and cancer interplay are central to tumor progression. This review explores how tumor cells exploit extracellular vesicles (EVs) to orchestrate immune evasion. Tumor‐derived EVs (TEVs) transport immunomodulatory cargo to shape immune differentiation, activation, and function.
