Cross‐Platform Biosensing of Immune Receptors Using Peptide‐Functionalized Graphene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A peptide‐functionalized graphene biosensor enables sensitive and selective detection of living immune cells. Targeting Formyl‐Peptide Receptor 2 (FPR2), the assay is demonstrated on model cells and primary human neutrophils. The same assay is applied to two complementary platforms: graphene‐enhanced surface plasmon resonance for optical benchmarking ...

Don't Tell Me What to Do, Tell Me Who to Follow! Field Experiment Evidence on Voluntary Donations [PDF]

We conducted a field experiment in a protected area to explore the effects of conformity to a social reference versus a comparable, but imposed, suggested donation. As observed before, we see visitors conforming to the changing social reference.

Colorectal Cancer Cell's Weapon: RNF32 Engages SPP1+ Macrophages to Foster Liver Metastasis, Targeted by Indole‐3‐Acetic Acid

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cytoplasmic RNF32 fuels CRC liver metastasis by degrading GSK3β, which stabilizes β‐catenin and activates Wnt/EMT. Moreover, RNF32 rewires the metastatic niche: it depletes CD8+/CD4+ T and NK cells while recruiting SPP1+ macrophages (which boost tumor stemness via CD44), fibroblasts, and immunosuppressive monocytes to aid colonization.

Anionic Liposomes as Optimal Membrane Fusion Carriers Enabling in Situ Multiplexed Detection of Extracellular Vesicle MicroRNAs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel strategy for in situ multiplexed miRNA analysis of plasma extracellular vesicles (EValarm) has been developed. EValarm enables straightforward detection of different extracellular vesicle miRNAs from plasma samples through systematic screening of liposome surface charges, without requiring complex pretreatment steps, and achieves satisfactory ...

Spatial Transcriptomics of TMJ Reveals a Remodeling Fibroblast‐Immune Microenvironment Driving Arthritis Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Spatial transcriptomics reveals a remodeled fibroblast‐immune microenvironment in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) during arthritis. By combining seqFISH with genetic mouse models, this study uncovers TMJ spatial cell atalas, macrophage‐fibroblast crosstalk, and cytokine signaling pathways driving TMJ inflammation and pain.
