🚀 New in @SciReports:
Biomimetic ZnO nanorods camouflaged with Caco-2 membranes enable targeted miRNA-200c delivery to gut epithelium.

This study presents a novel biomimetic nanoparticle platform—Caco-2 cell membrane-coated, manganese-doped ZnO nanorods—for targeted microRNA (miR-200c-3p) delivery to intestinal epithelial cells. By combining magnetic responsiveness, homotypic targeting, and lipid membrane camouflage, the engineered nanoparticles achieve site-specific delivery, enhance intestinal permeability, and modulate tight junction integrity without inducing toxicity. The work demonstrates, for the first time, that: miRNA-loaded nanorods can be guided magnetically and penetrate the mucus barrier. Homotypic targeting using epithelial cell membranes improves localization and uptake. miR-200c delivery via this platform significantly alters occludin expression and gut permeability in vivo. This approach opens new avenues for precision therapeutics in IBD and barrier dysfunction disorders, offering a biocompatible, traceable, and customizable delivery system for gut-targeted RNA therapies.

A recent study developed 125 eDNA-based qPCR assays (markers) to detect species of conservation relevance across North America from fish to frogs to birds using just traces of DNA in the air, water or soil. You can now study animals without even seeing them. doi.org/10.1002/edn3...

Wow! Our paper in @natmicrobiol.nature.com has just surpassed 10,000 views in less than a month!! a rare feat for a #plant #microbiome study! We argue that seed-borne bacteria are the architects of the wheat rhizobiome. Thanks to everyone who’s been engaging with our work :) doi.org/10.1038/s415...

A sequential propagation strategy shows how the microbes initially on seeds are key to building complex, reproducible and heritable plant microbiomes.
