  • An AI Agent for Fully Automated Multi-Omic Analyses

    With the fast-growing and evolving omics data, the demand for streamlined and adaptable tools to handle bioinformatics analysis continues to grow. In response to this need, Automated Bioinformatics Analysis (AutoBA) is introduced, an autonomous AI agent designed explicitly for fully automated multi-omic analyses based on large language models (LLMs). AutoBA simplifies the analytical process by…

  • A ROS-Responsive Lipid Nanoparticles Release Multifunctional Hydrogel Based on Microenvironment Regulation Promotes Infected Diabetic Wound Healing

    The continuous imbalance of the diabetic wound microenvironment is an important cause of chronic nonhealing, which manifests as a vicious cycle between excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and abnormal healing. Regulating the microenvironment by suppressing wound inflammation, oxidative stress, and bacterial infection is a key challenge in treating diabetic wounds. In this study,…

  • Bifidobacterium pseudolongum-Derived Bile Acid from Dietary Carvacrol and Thymol Supplementation Attenuates Colitis via cGMP-PKG-mTORC1 Pathway

    Carvacrol and thymol (CAT) have been widely recognized for their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, yet their specific effects on colitis and the mechanisms involved remain insufficiently understood. This study establishes a causative link between CAT administration and colitis mitigation, primarily through the enhancement of Bifidobacterium pseudolongum abundance in the colon. This increase promotes the production…

  • Nucleic Acid Amplification Circuit-Based Hydrogel (NACH) Assay for One-Step Detection of Metastatic Gastric Cancer-Derived Exosomal miRNA

    Gastric cancer (GC) is recognized as the fifth most prevalent malignant tumor worldwide. It is characterized by diverse clinical symptoms, treatment responses, and prognoses. In GC prognosis, the promotion of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) fosters cancer cell invasion and metastasis, thereby triggering the dissemination of tumor cells. This study proposes a nucleic acid amplification circuit-based hydrogel…

  • Novel Endogenous Engineering Platform for Robust Loading and Delivery of Functional mRNA by Extracellular Vesicles

    Messenger RNA (mRNA) has emerged as an attractive therapeutic molecule for a plethora of clinical applications. For in vivo functionality, mRNA therapeutics require encapsulation into effective, stable, and safe delivery systems to protect the cargo from degradation and reduce immunogenicity. Here, a bioengineering platform for efficient mRNA loading and functional delivery using bionormal nanoparticles, extracellular…

  • IL6 Derived from Macrophages under Intermittent Hypoxia Exacerbates NAFLD by Promoting Ferroptosis via MARCH3-Led Ubiquitylation of GPX4

    Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder characterized by intermittent hypoxia (IH) and is associated with the occurrence and development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the specific mechanism by which OSA induces NAFLD remains unclear. Therefore, effective interventions are lacking. This study aims to investigate the role and mechanism of ferroptosis…

  • CRISPR/dCas13(Rx) Derived RNA N(6)-methyladenosine (m(6)A) Dynamic Modification in Plant

    N-methyladenosine (mA) is the most prevalent internal modification of mRNA and plays an important role in regulating plant growth. However, there is still a lack of effective tools to precisely modify mA sites of individual transcripts in plants. Here, programmable mA editing tools are developed by combining CRISPR/dCas13(Rx) with the methyltransferase GhMTA (Targeted RNA Methylation…

  • Motor versus Psychomotor? Deciphering the Neural Source of Psychomotor Retardation in Depression

    Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by psychomotor retardation whose underlying neural source remains unclear. Psychomotor retardation may either be related to a motor source like the motor cortex or, alternatively, to a psychomotor source with neural changes outside motor regions, like input regions such as visual cortex. These two alternative hypotheses in main (n…

  • High-Strength, Antiswelling Directional Layered PVA/MXene Hydrogel for Wearable Devices and Underwater Sensing

    Hydrogel sensors are widely utilized in soft robotics and tissue engineering due to their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, in high-water environments, traditional hydrogels can experience significant swelling, leading to decreased mechanical and electrical performance, potentially losing shape, and sensing capabilities. This study addresses these challenges by leveraging the Hofmeister effect, coupled with directional…

  • Th1/Th2 Imbalance in Peripheral Blood Echoes Microglia State Dynamics in CNS During TLE Progression

    Central and systemic inflammation play pivotal roles in epileptogenesis and proepileptogenesis in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The interplay between peripheral CD4 T cells and central microglia orchestrates the “systemic-central” immune response in TLE. However, the precise molecular mechanisms linking central and systemic inflammation in TLE remain unknown. This preliminary findings revealed an imbalance in Th1/Th2 subsets…
