Plant polyphenol pterostilbene packed in pH-sensitive microbeads reaches the inflamed colon, calms immune attack, heals leaky lining and rebalances gut bugs—offering a promising, low-cost idea for ulcerative colitis care.

Utilizing waste cotton fabric as a dual-functional flexible substrate and carbon source, this work enabled vapor-liquid-solid growth of high-entropy carbide nanowires. The resulting material achieved exceptional EMI shielding through synergistic electrical conduction loss, dipolar polarization loss, and interfacial polarization loss.

Multiple myeloma is an incurable plasma cell malignancy despite major therapeutic advances. A recent review by Chinese researchers highlights how immunotherapy is reshaping its treatment landscape. The article summarizes immune mechanisms driving disease progression and explores emerging targets, such as BCMA, GPRC5D, and FcRL5. It also presents promising approaches—antibody–drug conjugates, CAR-T cells, and bispecific antibodies—offering new opportunities for overcoming drug resistance and achieving durable, personalized cancer immunotherapy.

Researchers at Tsinghua University developed PriorFusion, a unified framework that integrates semantic, geometric, and generative shape priors to significantly improve the accuracy and stability of road element perception in autonomous driving systems. The research addresses a long-standing challenge: existing end-to-end perception models often generate irregular shapes, fragmented boundaries, and incomplete road elements in complex urban scenarios.

Ride-pooling is widely recognized as a sustainable way to ease congestion, reduce costs and cut emissions, yet adoption remains limited.  When operators act independently, efficiency is low because requests cannot be matched across platforms.  Aggregation platforms seek to improve this by forcing all operators into a permanent coalition, but differences in size, cost and market position make such arrangements unstable.  To address this, researchers from Beihang University and Delft University of Technology developed a multi-level coalition formation game framework that enables coalitions to form dynamically in response to trip requests, allowing flexible cooperation without requiring all operators to remain in a single group at all times.
