Off‐The‐Shelf Multivalent Nanoconjugate Cancer Vaccine Rescues Host Immune Response against Melanoma

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A star‐shaped cross‐linked polyglutamate (StCl) nanocarrier delivers melanoma‐associated peptide antigens via redox‐responsive linkers, inducing lymph node‐targeted antigen presentation. The nanoconjugate activates dendritic cells, promotes effector T‐cell responses, and enables tumor regression even in humanized patient‐derived preclinical models ...

An introduction to the immune network [PDF]

arXiv, 1995
In this paper, after a telegraphic introduction to modern immunology, we present a simple model for the idiotypic network among antibodies and we study its relevance for the maintenance of immunological memory. We also consider the problem of computing the memory capacity of such a model.

Accelerated Bone Healing via Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electrical stimulation significantly impacts bone healing by enhancing osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and vascularization through calmodulin/calcineurin/NFAT signaling. It also boosts macrophage function and cell migration, presenting a comprehensive approach to accelerating bone repair.

Sustained Vaccine Exposure Elicits More Rapid, Consistent, and Broad Humoral Immune Responses to Multivalent Influenza Vaccines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents an injectable polymer‐nanoparticle hydrogel depot platform for delivering multivalent influenza vaccines which induces stronger and more durable immune responses. The technology provides broader protection, including against heterologous and potential pandemic strains (H5N1, H7N9, H9N2), and enhances the effectiveness of commercial ...

Inhibition of Aberrant Activated Fibroblast‐Like Synoviocytes in Rheumatoid Arthritis by Leishmania Peptide via the Regulation of Fatty Acid Synthesis Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LACK156‐173 is internalized into RA‐FLSs via CAPN2‐mediated endocytosis and inhibits the aggressive phenotype of RA‐FLSs by restoring dysregulated fatty acid synthesis metabolism mediated by overexpressed FASN. The findings suggest that targeting the restoration of fatty acid metabolism could potentially alleviate synovial invasion and joint damage in ...
