Cholinergic inputs to motoneurons in the spinal cord augment focal muscle spasticity in rodents

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Cholinergic premotor inputs to motoneurons support high levels of motor output when required. However, the possible role of these inputs in pathologically elevated muscle tone has not been characterised. To address this, we examined the modulatory effect of spinal acetylcholine (ACh) on experimental spastic paralysis ...

Oncolytic Virus‐Engineered Extracellular Vesicles Rewire Glioblastoma Immunity

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Immunotherapy with oncolytic Herpes simplex virus type 1 (oHSV‐1) shows promise for glioblastoma; however, clinical benefit remains uncommon due to tumour‐ and host‐mediated immunosuppression, which limits immune targeting of residual glioblastoma stem‐like cells (GSCs). To address this barrier, extracellular vesicles (EVs) harvested from oHSV‐

SERS Facemask for Rapid and Portable Sensing Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Antigens for TB Screening

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.
Our study introduced an Au─Ag embedded covalent organic framework (U@COF) ‐mediated facemask for sensing TB antigen ESAT‐6/CFP‐10 complex in clinical droplet samples toward TB screening. Practical analysis of clinical samples demonstrated the availability of our facemask, which is capable of identifying the TB subjects (N = 17) from healthy candidates (
