Abstract
Loops are prevalent topological structures in cross-linked polymer networks, resulting from the folding of polymer chains back onto themselves. Traditionally, they have been considered as defects that compromise the mechanical properties of the network, leading to extensive efforts in synthesis to prevent their formation. In this study, we introduce the inclusion of cyclic dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8) moieties within the polymer network strands to form CCNs, and surprisingly, these loops enhance the mechanical performances of the network, leading to tough elastomers. The toughening effect can be attributed to the unique cyclic structure of DB24C8. The relatively small size and the presence of rigid phenyl rings provide the loops with relatively stable conformations, allowing for substantial energy dissipation upon the application of force. Furthermore, the DB24C8 rings possess a broad range of potential conformations, imparting the materials with exceptional elasticity. The synergistic combination of these two features effectively toughens the materials, resulting in a remarkable 66-fold increase in toughness compared to the control sample of covalent networks. Moreover, the mechanical properties, particularly the recovery performance of the network, can be effectively tuned by introducing guests to bind with DB24C8, such as potassium ions and secondary ammonium salts.

Abstract
Dendritic cell (DC) maturation is a crucial process for antigen presentation and the initiation of T cell-mediated immune responses. Toll-like receptors play pivotal roles in stimulating DC maturation and promoting antigen presentation. Here, a novel message RNA (mRNA) cancer vaccine is reported that boosts antitumor efficacy by codelivering an mRNA encoding tumor antigen and a TLR7/8 agonist (R848) to DC using supramolecular lipid nanoparticles (SMLNP) as a delivery platform, in which a new ionizable lipid (N2-3L) remarkably enhances the translation efficiency of mRNA and a β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-modified ionizable lipid (Lip-CD) encapsulates R848. The incorporation of R848 adjuvant into the mRNA vaccine through noncovalent host-guest complexation significantly promotes DC maturation and antigen presentation after vaccination, thus resulting in superior antitumor efficacy in vivo. Moreover, the antitumor efficacy is further boosted synergized with immune checkpoint blockade by potentiating the anticancer capability of cytotoxic T lymphocytes infiltrated in tumor sites. This work indicates that SMLNP shows brilliant potential as next-generation delivery system in the development of mRNA vaccines with high efficacy.

Abstract
Stimulating the cyclic guanosine monophophate(GMP)-adenosine monophosphate (AMP) synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is a crucial strategy by which bacteria activate the tumor immune system. However, the limited stimulation capability poses significant challenges in advancing bacterial immunotherapy. Here, an adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-responsive manganese (Mn)-based bacterial material (E. coli@PDMC-PEG (polyethylene glycol)) is engineered successfully, which exhibits an exceptional ability to synergistically activate the cGAS-STING pathway. In the tumor microenvironment, which is characterized by elevated ATP levels, this biohybrid material degrades, resulting in the release of divalent manganese ions (Mn2+ ) and subsequent bacteria exposure. This combination synergistically activates the cGAS-STING pathway, as Mn2+ enhances the sensitivity of cGAS to the extracellular DNA (eDNA) secreted by the bacteria. The results of the in vivo experiments demonstrate that the biohybrid materials E. coli@PDMC-PEG and VNP20009@PDMC-PEG effectively inhibit the growth of subcutaneous melanoma in mice and in situ liver cancer in rabbits. Valuable insights for the development of bacteria-based tumor immunotherapy are provided here.

Abstract
Constructing an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (ASEI) on Li metal anodes (LMAs) is a potential strategy for addressing the dendrite issues. However, the mechanical fatigue of the ASEI caused by stress accumulation under the repeated deformation from the Li plating/stripping is not taken seriously. Herein, this work introduces a mechanically interlocked [an]daisy chain network (DC MIN) into the ASEI to stabilize the Li metal/ASEI interface by combining the functions of energy dissipation and fast Li-ion transport. The DC MIN featured by large-range molecular motions is cross-linked via efficient thiol-ene click chemistry; thus, the DC MIN has flexibility and excellent mechanical properties. As an ASEI, the crown ether units in DC MIN not only interact with the dialkylammonium of a flexible chain, forming the energy dissipation behavior but also coordinate with Li ion to support the fast Li-ion transport in DC MIN. Therefore, a stable 2800 h-symmetrical cycling (1 mA cm-2 ) and an excellent 5 C-rate (full cell with LiFePO4 ) performance are achieved by DC MIN-based ASEI. Furthermore, the 1-Ah pouch cell (LiNi0.88 Co0.09 Mn0.03 O2 cathode) with DC MIN-coated LMA exhibits improved capacity retention (88%) relative to the Control. The molecular design of DC MIN provides new insights into the optimization of an ASEI for high-energy LMAs.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis represents a reversible stage of various chronic liver diseases that progresses to cirrhosis. This condition is characterized by an imbalance between tissue damage and repair, and the production of fibers in the liver exceeds their degradation. Oxidative stress (OS) resulting from tissue injury and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) triggered by the overproduction of proteins are pivotal factors in liver fibrosis. Melatonin demonstrates the capability to neutralize free radicals, shielding cells from oxidative harm. It is also a specific inhibitor of the ERS receptor transcription activating factor 6 (ATF6), indicating its great potential in ameliorating liver fibrosis. However, its limited water solubility and oral bioavailability of under 15% present hurdles in achieving therapeutic blood concentrations for treating liver fibrosis. The PLGA@Melatonin is constructed by loading melatonin with poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). Platelet membranes (PM) and activated hepatic stellate cell membranes (HSCM) with high expression of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) are extracted to successfully construct PM@PLGA@Melatonin and HSCM@PLGA@Melatonin, which are subsequently utilized to treat mice with liver fibrosis. The results illustrated the remarkable therapeutic effects of the two nanoparticles on liver fibrosis, along with their excellent targeting and biosafety properties.

Abstract
Probiotics have the potential as biotherapeutic agents for cancer management in preclinical models and human trials by secreting antineoplastic or immunoregulatory agents in the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, current probiotics lack the ability to dynamically respond to unique TME characteristics, leading to limited therapeutic accuracy and efficacy. Although progress has been made in customizing controllable probiotics through synthetic biology, the engineering process is complex and the predictability of production is relatively low. To address this, here, for the first time, this work adopts pH-dependent peroxidase-like (POD-like) artificial enzymes as both an inducible "nano-promoter" and "nano-effector" to engineer clinically relevant probiotics to achieve switchable control of probiotic therapy. The nanozyme initially serves as an inducible "nano-promoter," generating trace amounts of nonlethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) stress to upregulate acidic metabolites in probiotics. Once metabolites acidify the TME to a threshold, the nanozyme switches to a "nano-effector," producing a great deal of lethal ROS to fight cancer. This approach shows promise in subcutaneous, orthotopic, and colitis-associated colorectal cancer tumors, offering a new methodology for modulating probiotic metabolism in a pathological environment.

Abstract
Achieving hemostasis effectively is essential for surgical success and excellent patient outcomes. However, it is challenging to develop hemostatic adhesives that are fast-acting, strongly adherent, long-lasting, and biocompatible for treating hemorrhage. In this study, a sequential crosslinking fibrin glue (SCFG) is developed, of which the first network of the fibrin glue forms in situ within 2 s to act as an initial physical barrier and locks the gelatin methacryloyl precursor for tight construction of the second network to enhance wet adhesion and durability for tissues covered with blood. The sequential crosslinking glue can provide large pressures (≈280 mmHg of burst pressure), makes strong (38 kPa of shear strength) and tough (≈60 J m-2 of interfacial toughness) interfaces with wet tissues, and outperforms commercial hemostatic agents and gelatin methacryloyl. SCFG are demonstrated as an effective and safe sealant to enhance the treatment outcomes of bleeding tissues in rat, rabbit, and pig models. The ultrafast gelation, strong adhesion and durability, excellent compatibility, and easy manufacture of SCFG make it a promising hemostatic adhesive for clinical applications.

Abstract
The ratio of red light to far-red light (R:FR) is perceived by light receptors and consequently regulates plant architecture. Regulation of shoot branching by R:FR ratio involves plant hormones. However, the roles of strigolactone (SL), the key shoot branching hormone and the interplay of different hormones in the light regulation of shoot branching in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) are elusive. Here, we found that defects in SL synthesis genes CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 7 (CCD7) and CCD8 in tomato resulted in more lateral bud growth but failed to reverse the FR inhibition of lateral bud growth, which was associated with increased auxin synthesis and decreased synthesis of cytokinin (CK) and brassinosteroid (BR). Treatment of auxin also inhibited shoot branching in ccd mutants. However, CK released the FR inhibition of lateral bud growth in ccd mutants, concomitant with the upregulation of BR synthesis genes. Furthermore, plants that overexpressed BR synthesis gene showed more lateral bud growth and the shoot branching was less sensitive to the low R:FR ratio. The results indicate that SL synthesis is dispensable for light regulation of shoot branching in tomato. Auxin mediates the response to R:FR ratio to regulate shoot branching by suppressing CK and BR synthesis.

Abstract
Allosteric regulation, induced by perturbations at an allosteric site topographically distinct from the orthosteric site, is one of the most direct and efficient ways to fine-tune macromolecular function. The Allosteric Database (ASD; accessible online at http://mdl.shsmu.edu.cn/ASD) has been systematically developed since 2009 to provide comprehensive information on allosteric regulation. In recent years, allostery has seen sustained growth and wide-ranging applications in life sciences, from basic research to new therapeutics development, while also elucidating emerging obstacles across allosteric research stages. To overcome these challenges and maintain high-quality data center services, novel features were curated in the ASD2023 update: (i) 66 589 potential allosteric sites, covering > 80% of the human proteome and constituting the human allosteric pocketome; (ii) 748 allosteric protein-protein interaction (PPI) modulators with clear mechanisms, aiding protein machine studies and PPI-targeted drug discovery; (iii) 'Allosteric Hit-to-Lead,' a pioneering dataset providing panoramic views from 87 well-defined allosteric hits to 6565 leads and (iv) 456 dualsteric modulators for exploring the simultaneous regulation of allosteric and orthosteric sites. Meanwhile, ASD2023 maintains a significant growth of foundational allosteric data. Based on these efforts, the allosteric knowledgebase is progressively evolving towards an integrated landscape, facilitating advancements in allosteric target identification, mechanistic exploration and drug discovery.

Abstract
The separator with high Young's modulus can avoid the danger of large-sized dendrites, but regulating the chemical behavior of lithium (Li) at the separator/anode interface can effectively eliminate the dendrite issue. Herein, a polyimine aerogel (PIA) with accurate nitrogen (N) functional design is used as the functional separator in Li metal batteries to promote uniform Li nucleation and suppress the dendrite growth. Specifically, the imine (N1) and protonated tertiary amine (N2) sites in the molecular structure of the PIA are significantly different in electron cloud density (ECD) distribution. The N1 site with higher ECD and the N2 site with lower ECD tend to attract and repulse Li+ through electrostatic interactions, respectively. This synergy effect of the PIA separator accelerates the interfacial Li+ diffusion on the Li anode to sustain a uniform two-dimensional Li nucleation behavior. Meanwhile, the well-defined nanochannels of the PIA separator show high affinity to electrolyte and bring uniform Li+ flux for Li plating/stripping. Consequently, the dendrites are effectively suppressed by the PIA separator in routine carbonate electrolyte, and the Li metal batteries with the PIA separator exhibit high Coulombic efficiency and stable high-rate cycling. These findings demonstrate that the ingenious marriage of special chemical structure designs and hierarchical pores can enable the separator to affect the interfacial Li nucleation behavior.

Abstract
AIMS Mania is a prevalent psychiatric disorder with undefined pathological mechanism. Here, we reviewed current knowledge indicating the potential involvement of autophagy dysregulation in mania and further discussed whether targeting autophagy could be a promising strategy for mania therapy. DISCUSSIONS Accumulating evidence indicated the involvement of autophagy in the pathology of mania. One of the most well-accepted mechanisms underlying mania, circadian dysregulation, showed mutual interaction with autophagy dysfunction. In addition, several first-line drugs for mania therapy were found to regulate neuronal autophagy. Besides, deficiencies in mitochondrial quality control, neurotransmission, and ion channel, which showed causal links to mania, were intimately associated with autophagy dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Although more efforts should be made to either identify the key pathology of mania, the current evidence supported that autophagy dysregulation may act as a possible mechanism involved in the onset of mania-like symptoms. It is therefore a potential strategy to treat manic disorder by correting autophagy.

Abstract
Electrical stimulation is an important technique for modulating the functions of the nervous system through electrical stimulus. To implement a more competitive prototype that can tackle the domain-specific difficulties of existing electrical stimulators, three key techniques are proposed in this work. Firstly, a load-adaptive power saving technique called over-voltage detection is implemented to automatically adjust the supply voltage. Secondly, redundant digital calibration (RDC) is proposed to improve current accuracy and ensure safety during long-term electrical stimulation without costing too much circuit area and power. Thirdly, a flexible waveform generator is designed to provide arbitrary stimulus waveforms for particular applications. Measurement results show the stimulator can adjust the supply voltage from 12 V to 100 V automatically, and the measured effective resolution of the stimulation current reaches 14 bits in a full range of 6.5 mA. Without applying charge balancing techniques, the average mismatch between the cathodic and anodic current pulses in biphasic stimulus is 0.0427%. The proposed electrical stimulator can generate arbitrary stimulus waveforms, including sine, triangle, rectangle, etc., and it is supposed to be competitive for implantable and wearable devices.

Abstract
Introducing photo-responsive molecules offers an attractive approach for remote and selective control and dynamic manipulation of material properties. However, it remains highly challenging how to use a minimal amount of photo-responsive units to optically modulate materials that are inherently inert to light irradiation. Here we show the application of a light-driven rotary molecular motor as a "motorized photo-modulator" to endow a typical H-bond-based gel system with the ability to respond to light irradiation and create a reversible sol-gel transition. The key molecular design feature is the introduction of a minimal amount (2 mol %) of molecular motors into the supramolecular network as photo-switchable non-covalent crosslinkers. Advantage is taken of the subtle interplay of the large geometry change during photo-isomerization of the molecular motor guest and the dynamic nature of a supramolecular gel host system. As a result, a tiny amount of molecular motors is enough to switch the mechanical modulus of the entire supramolecular systems. This study proves the concept of designing photo-responsive materials with minimum use of non-covalent light-absorbing units.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications affect protein functions and play key roles in controlling biological processes. Plants have unique types of O-glycosylation that are different from those of animals and prokaryotes, and they play roles in modulating the functions of secretory proteins and nucleocytoplasmic proteins by regulating transcription and mediating localization and degradation. O-glycosylation is complex because of the dozens of different O-glycan types, the widespread existence of hydroxyproline (Hyp), serine (Ser), and threonine (Thr) residues in proteins attached by O-glycans, and the variable modes of linkages connecting the sugars. O-glycosylation specifically affects development and environmental acclimatization by affecting diverse physiological processes. This review describes recent studies on the detection and functioning of protein O-glycosylation in plants, and provides a framework for the O-glycosylation network that underlies plant development and resistance.

Abstract
Mechanical bonds have been utilized as promising motifs to construct mechanically interlocked aerogels (MIAs) with mechanical adaptivity and multifunctionality. However, fabricating such aerogels with not only precise chemical structures but also dynamic features remains challenging. Herein, we present MIAs carrying dense [2]rotaxane units, which bestow both the stability and flexibility of the aerogel network. Owing to the stable chemical structure of a [2]rotaxane, MIAs possessing a precise and full-scale mechanically interlocked network could be fabricated with the aid of diverse solvents. In addition, the dynamic nature of the [2]rotaxane resulted in morphologies and mechanical performances of the MIAs that can be dramatically modulated under chemical stimuli. We hope that the structure-property relationship in MIAs will facilitate the development of mechanically interlocked materials and provide novel opportunities toward constructing smart materials with multifunctionalities.

Abstract
Simultaneously introducing covalent and supramolecular cross-links into one system to construct dually cross-linked networks, has been proved an effective approach to prepare high-performance materials. However, so far, features and advantages of dually cross-linked networks compared with those possessing individual covalent or supramolecular cross-linking points are rarely investigated. Herein, on the basis of comparison between supramolecular polymer network (SPN), covalent polymer network (CPN) and dually cross-linked polymer network (DPN), we reveal that the dual cross-linking strategy can endow the DPN with integrated advantages of CPN and SPN. Benefiting from the energy dissipative ability along with the dissociation of host-guest complexes, the DPN shows excellent toughness and ductility similar to the SPN. Meanwhile, the elasticity of covalent cross-links in the DPN could rise the structural stability to a level comparable to the CPN, exhibiting quick deformation recovery capacity. Moreover, the DPN has the strongest breaking stress and puncture resistance among the three, proving the unique property advantages of dual cross-linking method. These findings gained from our study further deepen the understanding of dynamic polymeric networks and facilitate the preparation of high-performance elastomeric materials.

Abstract
B-box (BBX) proteins are an important class of zinc finger transcription factors that play a critical role in plant growth and stress response. However, the mechanisms of how BBX proteins participate in the cold response in tomato remain unclear. Here, using approaches of reverse genetics, biochemical and molecular biology we characterized a BBX transcription factor, SlBBX17, which positively regulates cold tolerance in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Overexpressing SlBBX17 enhanced C-repeat binding factor (CBF)-dependent cold tolerance in tomato plants, whereas silencing SlBBX17 increased plant susceptibility to cold stress. Crucially, the positive role of SlBBX17 in CBF-dependent cold tolerance was dependent on ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5). SlBBX17 physically interacted with SlHY5 to directly promote the protein stability of SlHY5 and subsequently increased the transcriptional activity of SlHY5 on SlCBF genes under cold stress. Further experiments showed that cold-activated mitogen-activated protein kinases, SlMPK1 and SlMPK2, also physically interact with and phosphorylate SlBBX17 to enhance the interaction between SlBBX17 and SlHY5, leading to enhanced CBF-dependent cold tolerance. Collectively, the study unveiled a mechanistic framework by which SlMPK1/2-SlBBX17-SlHY5 regulated transcription of SlCBFs to enhance cold tolerance, thereby shedding light on the molecular mechanisms of how plants respond to cold stress via multiple transcription factors.

Abstract
Driver mutations can contribute to the initial processes of cancer, and their identification is crucial for understanding tumorigenesis as well as for molecular drug discovery and development. Allostery regulates protein function away from the functional regions at an allosteric site. In addition to the known effects of mutations around functional sites, mutations at allosteric sites have been associated with protein structure, dynamics, and energy communication. As a result, identifying driver mutations at allosteric sites will be beneficial for deciphering the mechanisms of cancer and developing allosteric drugs. In this study, we provided a platform called DeepAlloDriver to predict driver mutations using a deep learning method that exhibited >93% accuracy and precision. Using this server, we found that a missense mutation in RRAS2 (Gln72 to Leu) might serve as an allosteric driver of tumorigenesis, revealing the mechanism of the mutation in knock-in mice and cancer patients. Overall, DeepAlloDriver would facilitate the elucidation of the mechanisms underlying cancer progression and help prioritize cancer therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Increasing data in allostery are requiring analysis of coupling relationships among different allosteric sites on a single protein. Here, based on our previous efforts on reversed allosteric communication theory, we have developed AlloReverse, a web server for multiscale analysis of multiple allosteric regulations. AlloReverse integrates protein dynamics and machine learning to discover allosteric residues, allosteric sites and regulation pathways. Especially, AlloReverse could reveal hierarchical relationships between different pathways and couplings among allosteric sites, offering a whole map of allostery. The web server shows a good performance in re-emerging known allostery. Moreover, we applied AlloReverse to explore global allostery on CDC42 and SIRT3. AlloReverse predicted novel allosteric sites and allosteric residues in both systems, and the functionality of sites was validated experimentally. It also suggests a possible scheme for combined therapy or bivalent drugs on SIRT3. Taken together, AlloReverse is a novel workflow providing a complete regulation map and is believed to aid target identification, drug design and understanding of biological mechanisms. AlloReverse is freely available to all users at https://mdl.shsmu.edu.cn/AlloReverse/ or http://www.allostery.net/AlloReverse/.
