Dr. Kai Wang and his team published a review in Life Medicine to summarize the iPSC modification strategies to reach immune escape and reduce graft versus host disease (GvHD).

Researchers at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics have developed a water-integrated floating droplet electricity generator that uses natural water as both the electrode and the substrate. The device matches the performance of conventional generators while significantly reducing weight and cost, opening pathways to scalable, land-free clean energy applications.

Researchers from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and collaborators have built “double molecular bridges” across perovskite interfaces, unlocking ultrafast charge transport and pushing inverted perovskite solar cells to a certified fill factor of 88%, a new world record. The study was published in National Science Review (NSR).

In a comprehensive review published in MedComm - Oncology, a research team sheds new light on the complex biology and therapeutic challenges of breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBrM). The authors detail the multi-step metastatic cascade, from primary tumor invasion to brain colonization, and highlight key signaling pathways such as TGF-β, Wnt/β-catenin, PI3K/AKT, Notch, HER2-HER3, and JAK/STAT. They also explore the dynamic interactions between tumor cells and the brain microenvironment, including astrocytes, microglia, and neurons, which facilitate immune evasion and metabolic adaptation. The review further discusses advances in preclinical models, emerging CNS-penetrant therapies, and innovative clinical trial designs, offering a roadmap for personalized management of BCBrM.

Oxygen-Vacancy-Rich MgO/Ni@NiAlO catalyst was successfully fabricated via a MgO-assisted interface engineering, featuring abundant active oxygen vacancies (resistance to coking) and Ni/MgNiO₂ interfaces (inhibiting Ni particles sintering), which achieved coke-free methane dry reforming and unprecedented stability at 600 °C.

In a paper published in MedComm, an international team of scientists present a comprehensive review of immunomodulatory mechanisms in chronic wound healing. The authors analyze the distinctive immune-landscapes in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), pressure ulcers (PUs) and venous leg ulcers (VLUs), and demonstrate how dysregulation of innate and adaptive immune cells (including macrophages, neutrophils and T-cells) contributes to prolonged inflammation, extracellular matrix degradation and failed tissue repair. They further discuss translational approaches — such as cytokine-based therapies, protease inhibitors, immunomodulatory biomaterials, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and MSC-derived extracellular vesicles — summarizing current clinical trials and identifying emerging therapeutic targets for precision interventions in chronic wound care.

This study present a novel strategy for synthesizing a uniformly dispersed cobalt single-atom (Co_SA) catalyst with a well-defined Co-N₄ coordination structure through a thermal transformation process using CoPc as the precursor and phosphate functionalized rGO as the support material (Co@rGO-P). Additionally, Co@rGO-P was utilized to construct heterojunctions with PTA nanosheets through an in-situ growth method, resulting in the highly efficient photocatalyst Co@rGO-P/PTA for non-sacrificial H₂O₂ production in pure water.

A pioneering study reveals that low-grade coal, known as lignite, can be effectively converted into a resource for environmental protection—offering solutions for wastewater cleanup and resource recycling. Researchers from the University of Melbourne, in collaboration with Deakin University and Yancheng Institute of Technology, have developed a fast and energy-efficient method to modify lignite, greatly boosting its ability to strip toxic cadmium from polluted water.

A new long-term field study demonstrates that combining organic manure with synthetic fertilizer can enhance soil quality, maintain high crop yields, and dramatically reduce harmful nitrous oxide emissions—one of the most potent greenhouse gases contributing to climate change.
