Reprogramming Dysfunctional Dendritic Cells by a Versatile Catalytic Dual Oxide Antigen-Captured Nanosponge for Remotely Enhancing Lung Metastasis Immunotherapy.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in initiating antitumor immune responses. However, in the tumor environment, dendritic cells often exhibit impaired antigen presentation and adopt an immunosuppressive phenotype, which hinders their function and reduces their ability to efficiently present antigens. Here, a dual catalytic oxide nanosponge (DON) doubling as a remotely boosted catalyst and an inducer of programming DCs to program immune therapy is reported.

Rutin Synergizes with Colistin to Eradicate Salmonellosis in Mice by Enhancing the Efficacy and Reducing the Toxicity.

The wide dissemination of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria poses a significant global health and security concern. As developing new antibiotics is generally costly, fastidious, and time-consuming, there is an urgent need for alternative therapeutic strategies to address the gap in antibiotic discovery void. This study aimed to investigate the activity of colistin (CS) in combination with a natural product, rutin (RT), to combat against Typhimurium ( Tm) in vitro and in vivo.

A Self-Cascading Catalytic Therapy and Antigen Capture Scaffold-Mediated T Cells Augments for Postoperative Brain Immunotherapy.

The recruitment of T lymphocytes holds great potential for suppressing the most aggressive glioblastoma (GBM) recurrence with immunotherapy. However, the phenomenon of immune privilege and the generally low immunogenicity of vaccines often reduce the presence of lymphocytes within brain tumors, especially in brain tumor recurrence clusters. In this study, an implantable self-cascading catalytic therapy and antigen capture scaffold (CAS) that can boost catalytic therapy efficiency at post-surgery brain tumor and capture the antigens via urethane-polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol (PU-EO-PO) segments are developed for postoperative brain immunotherapy.

ATP_mCNN: Predicting ATP binding sites through pretrained language models and multi-window neural networks.

Adenosine triphosphate plays a vital role in providing energy and enabling key cellular processes through interactions with binding proteins. The increasing amount of protein sequence data necessitates computational methods for identifying binding sites. However, experimental identification of adenosine triphosphate-binding residues remains challenging.

Novel integrated multiomics analysis reveals a key role for integrin beta-like 1 in wound scarring.

Exacerbation of scarring can originate from a minority fibroblast population that has undergone inflammatory-mediated genetic changes within the wound microenvironment. The fundamental relationship between molecular and spatial organization of the repair process at the single-cell level remains unclear. We have developed a novel, high-resolution spatial multiomics method that integrates spatial transcriptomics with scRNA-Seq; we identified new characteristic features of cell-cell communication and signaling during the repair process.

Global trend analysis, mechanistic insights and future directions of autoimmune ear diseases: Based on comprehensive findings over the past 20 years.

Background: In recent years, Autoimmune diseases (ADs) and hearing loss are both significant public health burdens worldwide. An increasing number of studies are focusing on the potential link between these two diseases and exploring how hearing loss can be prevented and treated in the context of autoimmune diseases. In response to this focus, it is very necessary to conduct bibliometric analysis and molecular mechanism exploration to provide guidance for the exploration of basic mechanisms and clinical management.

Clonal landscape of autoantibody-secreting plasmablasts in COVID-19 patients.

Whereas severe COVID-19 is often associated with elevated autoantibody titers, the underlying mechanism behind their generation has remained unclear. Here we report clonal composition and diversity of autoantibodies in humoral response to SARS-CoV-2. Immunoglobulin repertoire analysis and characterization of plasmablast-derived monoclonal antibodies uncovered clonal expansion of plasmablasts producing cardiolipin (CL)-reactive autoantibodies.

Full-scale study on high-rate low-temperature anaerobic digestion of agro-food wastewater: process performances and microbial community.

The fast-growing global population has led to a substantial increase in food production, which generates large volumes of wastewater during the process. Despite most industrial wastewater being discharged at lower ambient temperatures (<20 °C), majority of the high-rate anaerobic reactors are operated at mesophilic temperatures (>30 °C). High-rate low-temperature anaerobic digestion (LtAD) has proven successful in treating industrial wastewater both at laboratory and pilot scales, boasting efficient organic removal and biogas production.

Deciphering the Language of Protein-DNA Interactions: A Deep Learning Approach Combining Contextual Embeddings and Multi-Scale Sequence Modeling.

Deciphering the mechanisms governing protein-DNA interactions is crucial for understanding key cellular processes and disease pathways. In this work, we present a powerful deep learning approach that significantly advances the computational prediction of DNA-interacting residues from protein sequences. Our method leverages the rich contextual representations learned by pre-trained protein language models, such as ProtTrans, to capture intrinsic biochemical properties and sequence motifs indicative of DNA binding sites.

Gasdermin D could be lost in the brain parenchyma infarct core and a pyroptosis-autophagy inhibition effect of Jie-Du-Huo-Xue decoction after stroke.

Background: The Chinese ethnic medicine Jie-Du-Huo-Xue Decoction (JDHXD) is used to alleviate neuroinflammation in cerebral ischemia (CI). Our previous studies have confirmed that JDHXD can inhibit microglial pyroptosis in CI. However, the pharmacological mechanism of JDHXD in alleviating neuroinflammation and pyroptosis needs to be further elucidated.

MCNN_MC: Computational Prediction of Mitochondrial Carriers and Investigation of Bongkrekic Acid Toxicity Using Protein Language Models and Convolutional Neural Networks.

Mitochondrial carriers (MCs) are essential proteins that transport metabolites across mitochondrial membranes and play a critical role in cellular metabolism. ADP/ATP (adenosine diphosphate/adenosine triphosphate) is one of the most important carriers as it contributes to cellular energy production and is susceptible to the powerful toxin bongkrekic acid. This toxin has claimed several lives; for example, a recent foodborne outbreak in Taipei, Taiwan, has caused four deaths and sickened 30 people.
