Chemotherapy is the primary treatment option for pancreatic cancer, although nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems often struggle with multiple physiological barriers, limiting their therapeutic efficacy. Here, we developed a pH/reactive oxygen species (ROS) dual-sensitive self-adaptive nanocarrier (DAT) encapsulating camptothecin (CPT), an analog of the pancreatic chemotherapeutic drug irinotecan (CPT-11), to enhance chemotherapy outcomes in orthotopic pancreatic cancer by addressing multiple physiological barriers. The nanocarrier features a peripherally positively charged arginine (Arg) residue on DAT and is masked with an acid-labile 2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride (DA) to improve circulation time.

Metagenomics, particularly genome-resolved metagenomics, has significantly deepened our understanding of microbes, illuminating their taxonomic and functional diversity and roles in ecology, physiology, and evolution. However, eukaryotic populations within various microbiomes, including those in the mammalian gastrointestinal (GI) tract, remain relatively underexplored in metagenomic studies due to the lack of comprehensive reference genome databases and robust bioinformatics tools. The GI tract of ruminants, particularly the rumen, contains a high eukaryotic biomass although a relatively low diversity of ciliates and fungi, which significantly impacts feed digestion, methane emissions, and rumen microbial ecology.

Nutritional metabolomics provides a comprehensive overview of the biochemical processes that are induced by dietary intake through the measurement of metabolite profiles in biological samples. However, there is a lack of deep phenotypic analysis that shows how dietary interventions influence the metabolic state across multiple physiologic sites. Dietary amino acids have emerged as important nutrients for physiology and pathophysiology given their ability to impact cell metabolism.

During the dormant period of peach trees in winter, flower buds exhibit weak cold resistance and are susceptible to freezing at low temperatures. Understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the response of local peach buds to low-temperature adversity is crucial for ensuring normal flowering, fruiting, and yield. In this study, the experimental materials included the conventional cultivar 'Xia cui' (XC) and the cold-resistant local resources 'Ding jiaba' (DJB) peach buds.

Organ-on-a-chip (OOC) devices mimic human organs, which can be used for many different applications, including drug development, environmental toxicology, disease models, and physiological assessment. Image data acquisition and analysis from these chips are crucial for advancing research in the field. In this study, we propose a label-free morphology imaging platform compatible with the small airway-on-a-chip system.
