A Strategy of On-Demand Immune Activation for Antifungal Treatment Using Near-Infrared Responsive Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticles

Zijuan Wang et al.

Summary: A strategy to activate macrophage immune responses to fungi based on NIR-responsive CPNs-M is reported. Under NIR light irradiation, CPNs-M exposes beta-glucan on the surface of fungal conidia, eliciting macrophage recognition and subsequent activation of the Ca2+-CaM signaling and the LAP pathway. This remote regulation strategy provides a new insight into combatting intractable intracellular infections.

Heat-dependent opening of TRPV1 in the presence of capsaicin

Do Hoon Kwon et al.

Summary: The cryo-EM structures of rat TRPV1 at different temperatures reveal the heat-dependent gating mechanism of this sensory receptor. By visualizing the opening of TRPV1 in response to noxious heat in the presence of capsaicin, the study shows that the conformational transitions leading to TRPV1 opening occur stepwise. The research also suggests that a subset of residues forms an interaction network directly involved in heat sensing, providing insights into the molecular principles underlying sensing of physical and chemical stimuli by TRPV1, which may be applicable to other thermal sensing ion channels.
