Pollen grains induce a rapid and biphasic eczematous immune response in atopic eczema patients [PDF]

, 2008
Introduction: Eczematous reactions to type I allergy-inducing antigens are documented in a subgroup of patients with atopic eczema. Yet, the underlying immunological mechanisms are not well understood.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Advanced Oral Delivery Systems for Nutraceuticals

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Emerging delivery technologies are explored to overcome barriers to oral nutraceutical absorption. Traditional carriers are compared with novel platforms including biodegradable polymers, MOFs, MPNs, and 3D printing. These systems enhance bioavailability, control release, and enable personalized nutrition.

An Ultrapotent, Ultraeconomical, Antifreeze Polypeptide

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Simple and inexpensive polypeptides composed of random copolymers of alanine and glutamic acid are effective antifreezes for applications in foods and biomedicine. The polypeptides, inspired by natural extremophile proteins, inhibit the growth of large ice crystals and prevent damage to sensitive biologics.

Advances and Strategies in Enhancing mRNA Cancer Vaccines

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines offer a powerful approach for cancer immunotherapy, but their clinical impact remains limited by delivery challenges and suboptimal immune activation. This review discusses key biological barriers and design strategies—including structural optimization, immunomodulation, organ targeting delivery, and advanced nanocarriers ...

Allergen avoidance

Mediators of Inflammation, 2001
The systematic avoidance of indoor allergens by modification of houses, furnishings, or hygiene practices has long been advocated to reduce both the incidence of allergic diseases in at-risk infants and exacerbations or symptoms in those previously sensitized with such a disease.

PVC Nanoplastics Exposure Exacerbates Asthma through R‐Loop Accumulation and Subsequent STING Activation in Macrophages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) nanoplastics (NPs) are shown to aggravate allergic airway inflammation in asthma by triggering R‐loop accumulation and activating the cGAS‐STING pathway in macrophages. This study reveals a novel immunotoxic mechanism linking environmental plastic exposure to asthma pathogenesis and highlights potential molecular targets for ...
