Summary: Cognitive impairment often occurs after post traumatic brain injury and its recovery depends on spontaneous repair and severity of secondary insult. Tetrahedral framework nucleic acid, a novel nanostructure, has been shown to promote regeneration and anti-inflammation. In this study, we established a mouse model of traumatic brain injury and confirmed the efficacy of tetrahedral framework nucleic acids in promoting cognitive impairment recovery. The results indicate that tetrahedral framework nucleic acids enhance the proliferation of endogenous neural stem cells and modulate neuroinflammatory response, suggesting their potential use in treating cognitive impairment after traumatic brain injury.

Summary: Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a common condition that can lead to bladder remodeling. The study investigates the therapeutic effects of tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) on BOO-induced remodeling using in vivo and in vitro models. The results suggest that tFNAs can improve bladder fibrosis and dysfunction by inhibiting M2 macrophage polarization and the macrophage-myofibroblast transition process. tFNAs achieve this by deactivating the Stat and TGF-beta 1/Smad pathways. This study identifies tFNAs as a potential nanomaterial for the treatment of BOO-induced remodeling.

Summary: Sarcopenia, a type of age-related muscle atrophy, affects over a quarter of elderly population worldwide, characterized by progressive decline in muscle mass, strength, and performance. Current clinical treatments are limited to rehabilitative interventions and dietary supplements. Tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs), a novel DNA-based nanomaterial, show superior anti-apoptosis capacity in cells, tissues, organs, and systems. In this study, the therapeutic effect of tFNAs treatment on sarcopenia was evaluated in vivo and in vitro, showing improvement in muscle function, endurance, and morphological changes in muscle fibers. In vitro experiments also demonstrated the amelioration of DEX-induced sarcopenic myotube atrophy through inhibition of mitochondria-mediated cell apoptosis. Overall, tFNAs treatment may serve as an alternative option for sarcopenia in the future.

Summary: In this study, a complex called T-155, consisting of a tetrahedral framework nucleic acid delivery system and MicroRNA-155, was synthesized as an immunomodulator for immunosuppression. The experimental results showed that T-155 could improve spleen and thymus damage and hematopoiesis suppression in immunosuppressed mice by promoting T-cell proliferation against oxidative stress. In vitro, T-155 induced the differentiation of immature dendritic cells into mature ones via the ERK1/2 pathway and converted M0 macrophages into M1 type to enhance antigen-presenting cells' surveillance capabilities. These findings suggest that T-155 has therapeutic potential as an immunomodulator for immunosuppression.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
