Experimental model advances have crucially helped unravel physiological mechanisms. While in vivo models provide a dynamic environment, they often fail to mimic human physiology precisely and face significant ethical barriers. Advanced in vitro models, including organs-on-chips and bioreactors, combine human cells and blood flow to accurately replicate endothelial dysfunction. Newer models have enhanced scalability and accuracy, with organs-on-chips commonly outperforming standard preclinical methods.

This study engineered a cod uracil DNA glycosylase (cod UNG, coUNG) from the cold-adapted fish Gadus morhua for plant CGBE, demonstrating 1.71- to 2.54-fold increases in C-to-G editing efficiency compared with the CGBE using human UNG (hUNG). Further engineering took advantage of TadA-8e-derived cytidine deaminases (TadA-CDs). These variants induced C substitutions with efficiencies ranging from 26.28% to 30.82% in rice cells, whereas adenine (A) conversion was negligible. By integrating coUNG and TadA-CDc elements with SpCas9 nickase, the resulting CDc-CGBEco achieved pure C-to-G editing without byproducts in up to 52.08% of transgenic lines. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis revealed no significant off-target effects of the CDc-BEs in rice. In addition, CDc-CGBEco enabled precise C-to-G editing in soybean and tobacco.

By fine-tuning voxel vector magnitude and using an omnidirectional printing trajectory, we achieve structural mimicry at both the macroscale and the cellular alignment level. This dual-scale approach enhances vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) function by regulating contractile and synthetic pathways. The VECTOR method facilitates the construction of 3D arterial structures that closely replicate natural coronary architectures, significantly improving contractility and metabolic function.

The robots penetrate the tumor interior in swarms through combined hypoxic traction and ultrasound actuation (UA). The hypoxia-targeting ability of PSB induced PR-robot accumulation in the tumor region. Subsequently, programmable UA trapped the PR-robots to form bioswarms and traverse tissue obstacles, penetrating the tumor interior. The substantial influx of PR-robots into the tumor tissue promoted the formation of tumor-specific thrombus (TST).
