Article Abstract

-Succinyl--homoserine (OSH) is an important C4 platform compound with broad applications. Its green and efficient production is receiving increasing attention. Herein, the OSH producing chassic cell was constructed by deleting the transcriptional negative regulation factor, blocking the OSH consumption pathway, and inhibiting the competitive bypass pathways. The precursor synthesis pathways of aspartic acid and homoserine were further strengthened, and the pentose phosphate pathway and glycolysis pathway were modified to enhance the NADPH supply. Adaptive evolution was applied to improve the tolerance of the cell factory to the fermentation environment. With Raman online analysis, the metabolic process model was built to guide fermentation regulation. The final titer of OSH reached 121.7 g/L with conversion of 63% in a 50 L fermenter. Based on this, a coupling production route for -methionine and succinic acid from OSH was established with good atomic economy and environmental friendliness.

Recently, a variety of stimulus-responsive hydrogel platforms have been developed, specifically designed to respond to changes in physiological signals within the disease microenvironment. However, due to the restricted regulation of drug release behavior in vivo by such hydrogel systems, the precise control of drug release kinetics has not been achieved. Therefore, developing precise drug delivery platforms that enable programmable and "on-off" delivery remains a challenge in this field.

Chemotherapy is often hindered by systemic toxicity and poor selectivity. To address these issues, we develop an enzyme-responsive metallopeptide hydrogel (HY-Pd) that integrates enzyme-instructed self-assembly (EISA) and bioorthogonal catalysis for selective tumor-targeted prodrug activation. Upon exposure to alkaline phosphatase (ALP), which is overexpressed in osteosarcoma cells (Saos-2), HY-Pd selectively accumulates and self-assembles into catalytic nanofibers.

Aim: To critically review the emerging evidence from two randomised trials-KEYNOTE-689 and NIVOPOSTOP-on perioperative immune checkpoint inhibition in resectable, locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and to elucidate how these positive results may redefine the current and future treatment paradigms.

Methods: We conducted a narrative review comparing the design, patient populations, treatment protocols, and outcomes of KEYNOTE-689 and NIVOPOSTOP. Data sources included ClinicalTrials.
