Disease-associated microglia (DAMs) are a unique microglial state in development and various CNS pathologies. In this issue of Immunity, Lan and colleagues provide novel insights into the diversity of DAMs in CNS diseases, revealing their terminal fate following juvenile stroke verses their reversible fate following neonatal stroke and their ability to maintain immune memory upon return to homeostatic states.

Faculty of Sciences, Department F.-A. Forel for Environmental and Aquatic Sciences, Environemntal Biogeochemistry and Ecotoxicology, University of Geneva Bvd Carl-Vogt 66 1211-Geneva Switzerland

Article Synopsis
  • Silver nanoparticles (nAg) are commonly used in various applications but their behavior in aquatic environments is influenced by factors like surrounding conditions and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from organisms such as diatoms.
  • This study focuses on how EPS from diatoms interact with citrate-coated nAg, affecting their surface properties, stability, and dissolution in freshwater over short and long-term periods.
  • Results indicate that EPS enhance nAg’s stability and reduce their dissolution by forming a protective eco-corona, largely composed of proteins and polysaccharides, which alters how nAg aggregates in water.

Nanomaterial journey in the gut: from intestinal mucosal interaction to systemic transport.

Nanoscale

October 2024

CAS Key Laboratory for Biomedical Effects of Nanomaterials and Nanosafety & CAS Center for Excellence in Nanoscience, National Center for Nanoscience and Technology of China, Beijing 100190, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Engineered nanomaterials are tiny particles used in things like food, cosmetics, and medicine because they have special properties that can be helpful.
  • When we eat or use products with these nanomaterials, they can go into our intestines, which is important to understand for both health benefits and risks.
  • This review talks about how these particles interact with our gut, including the bacteria living there and our immune system, and why studying these journeys can improve how we deliver medicines and understand safety better.

Nanoplastics (NPs, < 1000 nm) interact with chemicals and biomolecules to produce chemical-/eco-corona, altering the environmental destiny, bioavailability, and toxicity of plastic particles and co-occurring chemicals. This study employs exogenous (humic acid, HA) and endogenous (bovine serum albumin, BSA) natural organic matter (NOM) to investigate the eco-corona formation on NPs and explore the interfacial effects of eco-corona and 6:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (Cl-PFESA, commonly named as F-53B) on zebrafish (Danio rerio) after 7 days of exposure. Our results indicated significant changes in growth and developmental indices of zebrafish embryos among all eco-corona groups (p < 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Rational regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is essential for maintaining balance in biological systems, but existing metal-based therapies face challenges like complicated synthesis, high costs, and toxicity issues.
  • A new small-molecule enzyme imitator called DHKNase demonstrates dual-action regulation of ROS, promoting beneficial outcomes in treating various diseases.
  • DHKNase shows impressive therapeutic effects in two disease models: wound healing from infections and inflammatory bowel disease, paving the way for innovative applications of natural small molecules in medicine.

Diabetes mellitus has surged in prevalence, emerging as a prominent epidemic and assuming a foremost position among prevalent medical disorders. Diabetes constitutes a pivotal risk element for cardiovascular maladies, with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) standing out as a substantial complication encountered by individuals with diabetes. Apoptosis represents a physiological phenomenon observed throughout the aging and developmental stages, giving rise to the programmed cell death, which is implicated in DCM.
