Microneedle Patch for In Situ Neutrophil Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An in situ chromogenic microneedle patch that achieves daily blood neutrophil monitoring without vascular invasion or laboratory apparatus is developed. The detection ability is well demonstrated in a chemotherapy‐induced neutropenic rat model and can be read out using a mobile phone application.

Comparative Genomics of Antibiotic-Resistant Uropathogens Implicates Three Routes for Recurrence of Urinary Tract Infections

mBio, 2019
The increasing antimicrobial resistance of uropathogens is challenging the continued efficacy of empiric antibiotic therapy for UTIs, which are among the most frequent bacterial infections worldwide. It has been suggested that drug-resistant uropathogens

Identification of CD38high Monocyte as a Candidate Diagnostic Biomarker and Therapeutic Target for Sepsis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers that CD38high monocytes discriminate sepsis and sterile inflammation and are associated with 28‐day mortality in bacterial sepsis. Targeting CD38 therapy reduces inflammatory response in monocytes and in sepsis mice model. Mechanistically, CD38‐HIF‐1α/glycolysis/MGO loop exacerbates sepsis‐induced immune dysregulation.
