Their results could guide the development of healthier and more productive wheat lines.

Researchers have developed a novel "theragnostic" approach for ischemic stroke using extracellular vesicles derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth stem cells (SHED-EVs). Engineered with quantum dots, these vesicles allow for real-time imaging of the blood-brain barrier while simultaneously scavenging harmful reactive oxygen species to reduce brain injury.

The Cr-substituted LRMs with high capacity and stability is successfully fabricated for high energy-density solid-state batteries.

This study developed a pH-responsive nanovaccine (Lyc-OVA) based on Lycium barbarum-derived carbon dots (Lyc-CDs) synthesized via a green hydrothermal method, which suppressed primary/distal tumor growth by activating CD4⁺CD8⁺ T cells, reducing immunosuppressive Treg/MDSC populations, and reshaping the tumor immune microenvironment.

Researchers at the Kanazawa University Graduate School of Medical Sciences report in PLOS Pathogens a novel role for the neural guidance protein Netrin-1 in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
