Glioblastoma (GBM) remains a daunting oncological challenge because of its aggressive nature and resistance to conventional therapies. Inhibition of the intrinsic STING pathway in GBM hampers the effectiveness of immunotherapies. To overcome this clinical limitation, a Sequential Release HydroLipo System (SRHLS) is developed, in which hydrogels and nanoparticles are combined for controlled drug release. The SRHLS sequentially released decitabine and STING agonists, thereby correcting STING signaling dysfunction through epigenetic reprogramming and enhancing antitumor immunity. According to in vitro and in vivo experiments, the SRHLS reshaped the tumor microenvironment and markedly inhibited tumor growth, recurrence, and metastasis. These findings underscore the potential of the SRHLS as a promising therapeutic strategy for GBM.

The infiltration and excessive polarization of M1 macrophages contribute to the induction and persistence of low-grade inflammation in joint-related degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). The lipid metabolism dysregulation promotes M1 macrophage polarization by coordinating the compensatory pathways of the inflammatory and oxidative stress responses. Here, a self-assembling, licofelone-loaded nanoparticle (termed LCF-CSBN), comprising chondroitin sulfate and bilirubin joined by an ethylenediamine linker, is developed to selectively reprogram lipid metabolism in macrophage activation.

Diabetes exacerbates periodontitis by overexpressing reactive oxygen species (ROS), which leads to periodontal bone resorption. Consequently, it is imperative to relieve inflammation and promote alveolar bone regeneration comprehensively for the development of diabetic periodontal treatment strategies. Furthermore, an orderly treatment to avoid interference between these two processes can achieve the optimal therapeutic effect.

Studies regarding geochemical partitioning and leaching behavior of Hofmeister ions, which is considered as a risk/causative factor for chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu), are scarce. Therefore, Hofmeister ions' leaching behavior of partially weathered rocks from CKDu endemic (Girandurukotte) and non-endemic (Sewanagala) areas, Sri Lanka were compared. Rock mineralogy was analyzed using X-ray Diffraction, and total ion contents were determined using alkaline and acid digestions.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) effectively treat EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma, demonstrating initial efficacy but eventually leading to acquired resistance. Small cell transformation is a rare resistance mechanism to EGFR-TKIs in lung adenocarcinoma, which can complicate clinical diagnosis and treatment. We present a patient with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent a prior pneumonectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy and was treated with osimertinib after the recurrence of lung cancer.

Background: The adherence to the Animals in Research: Reporting In Vivo Experiments (ARRIVE) guidelines across the journals that initially published the guidelines and if adherence has improved since the guidelines update, remains unknown. We aimed to quantify the level of adherence and analyze factors that might influence reporting quality among these journals.
Methods: This cross-sectional study retrospectively analyzed interventional animal experiments published in journals that released ARRIVE 1.
