Self-Growing Conductive Hydrogels Establish Volumetric Biointerfaces for Cardiac Conduction Restoration
1 Introduction Following myocardial infarction (MI), irreversible loss of electroactive cardiomyocytes and their replacement by electrically insulating fibrotic tissue disrupt impulse propagation and promote electromechanical desynchrony [1-3]. Conductive hydrogel-based cardiac patches have been explored to bridge infarcted regions and restore electrical continuity; however, their efficacy critically depends on stable and intimate integration with the dynamically beating myocardium [4, 5].
Uncovering the Community Structure and Adaptive Characteristics of Soil Protists Across Natural, Semi-Natural and Highly Degraded Habitats
1 Introduction Protists, as abundant and ubiquitous unicellular eukaryotes, are widely present in diverse environments. As key components of the soil food web, they play a crucial role in regulating core ecological processes, including soil nutrient cycling, energy flow and microbial community structure, within multitrophic interaction networks involving prokaryotes and fungi (Saleem et al. 2013; Oliverio et al. 2020; Velasco-González et al. 2020).
Broad pH-resistant microdroplet SERS platform based on Ag@SiO 2 @PVP NPs for real-time analysis of microbial metabolites
Abstract Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) holds great promise for the real-time detection of microbial metabolites. However, pH fluctuations in fermentation environments can induce probe corrosion, aggregation, or precipitation, severely compromising the stability and reproducibility of SERS signals and thus diminishing system reliability for real-time analysis.
Promoter Hypermethylation‐Induced Silencing of FXYD1 Drives Breast Cancer Metastasis via DDX5‐Mediated Wnt/β‐Catenin Pathway Activation
1 Introduction Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide [1]. Despite significant advances in early detection and the development of targeted therapies, tumor recurrence and metastasis, particularly in aggressive subtypes such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), continue to pose significant clinical challenges [2-4].
Dual dominant frequency features of microseismic signals for landslide precursor analysis and risk zone identification
ABSTRACT To address the challenges in slope-failure precursor identification and landslide risk monitoring, this study proposes an analytical method that utilises the dual dominant frequency mechanism in microseismic (MS) signals across laboratory and field scales. Experimental tensile and shear tests revealed dual frequencies in rocks (high: 260–300 kHz; low: 50–120 kHz), with a characteristic frequency ratio shift preceding rupture.

A bioinspired polymeric membrane-enclosed insulin crystal achieves long-term, self-regulated drug release for type 1 diabetes therapy - Nature Nanotechnology
Abstract The nuclear envelope serves as a highly regulated gateway for macromolecule exchange between the nucleus and cytoplasm in eukaryotes. Here we have developed a cell nucleus-mimicking polymeric membrane-enclosed system for long and self-regulated therapy. A polymeric nano-membrane with nanopores is conformally synthesized in situ on the surface of each insulin crystal, ensuring sustained, adjustable and zero-order drug release kinetics.
Coacervate vesicles assembled by liquid–liquid phase separation improve delivery of biopharmaceuticals - Nature Chemistry
Abstract Vesicles play critical roles in cellular materials storage and signal transportation, even in the formation of organelles and cells. Natural vesicles are composed of a lipid layer that forms a membrane for the enclosure of substances inside. Here we report a coacervate vesicle formed by the liquid–liquid phase separation of cholesterol-modified DNA and histones.

Effect of Lard or Plus Soybean Oil on Blood Pressure and Other Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Healthy Subjects: A Randomized Controlled-Feeding Trial Zhiyuan Liu, Jihong Yuan, Ping Wen, Xiao-Fei Guo, Haichao Wen, Yanjun Guo and Duo Li Abstract Lard has been consumed by humans for thousands of years, but its consumption has declined substantially in the last few decades, because of negative publicity about the consumption of animal-derived saturated fats.
A common protocol for reliable comparison of pollen fatty acid profiles: highlighting pitfalls and proposing a methodology for ecological research
Introduction Plant pollen is an intriguing plant tissue, which carries the male gametes from one plant individual to another. In some plant species, pollen additionally serves as a reward for pollinators. In fact, pollen is a major dietary source for many bee pollinators (Waser and Ollerton, 2006; Michener, 2007).
Effect of Lard or Plus Soybean Oil on Markers of Liver Function in Healthy Subjects: A Randomized Controlled-Feeding Trial
Abstract : Humans have consumed lard for thousands of years, but in recent decades, it has become much less popular because it is regarded as saturated fat. Animal studies showed that lard plus soybean oil (blend oil) was more advantageous for liver health than using either oil alone. This study aims to assess the effects of blend oil on liver function markers in healthy subjects.
